Salmond wrongfooted
Alex Salmond is a fine leader, who has made a strong, forthright stand against the Iraq War, which is much to his credit. So I was disappointed to see him publicly wrongfooted by the Labour Party over expenses.
At the time of the SNP leadership election, Salmond was criticized - in my view unrealistically - for proposing to lead the party from Westminster. It seems he is now trying to fulfill his promises to Scotland but shuttling continuously between London and Edinburgh. His Westminster allowances were not designed for that purpose, hence the problems.
But is really necessary to do all that travelling? Surely the SNP can set up video-conferencing? All you need is a couple of large displays (the larger the better), two cameras, two computers and a broadband connection. You can use the screen to display split-screen video as well as documents, so you can have a discussion with two or three colleagues while working (for example) on a press statement.
Do SNP HQ know about video-conferencing?
