East Ayrshire had, up until yesterday, a well respected rock and roll provost. Jim Todd was the sort of man who spoke to everyone, rode a motor bike, wore his chains over his t shirt and raised a lot of money for charity. His Depute Claire was a young woman who connected well with the schools she visited. Both were SNP.
Shenanigans have been afoot with people trying to unsuccessfully dig up dirt on them since 2017 but in council chambers a vote was conducted to choose the provost for the next year. Amazingly, Tories and Labour worked together and voted in a Labour person for provost and the sole representative of The Rubbish Party to be the Depute. The Rubbish Party person also voted for the Labour man.
It’s bad enough that the biggest party has been voted out by dubious methods but it beggars belief that Labour and Tories are beginning to form a back room coalition in Scotland.

Re: Labour, Conservative and Rubbish Party Coup
Presumably in an effort to preserve the Union and prevent the SNP turning North Britain into a third world country.
