Truth is becoming a rare commodity these days, and it’s the one thing this government seems to want to hide.

Our public servants, whether in Westminster or Holyrood, no longer work for us, with many in the cabinet in someone’s back pocket.

But here’s the thing about truth: it has a habit of re-surfacing at the most inconvenient times.

And the truth, thankfully for us is, they didn’t do the job thoroughly at the time, because if you want to attempt to hide the truth, you must first destroy it!

Now it will be used against them, and the world will see the lie. Former colonies are seeing that Scotland is no different from them, only the lie was bigger!!

Loyalty is another thing that can vanish like the mist, and today, Starmer is learning that lesson. The ‘stick with it, through thick and thin’ no longer exists; instead, it is ‘every man/woman for themselves’! Burnham needs to watch himself and not surround himself with what I call fence hoppers!!

A person’s history says a lot about them, and this expected new PM certainly has one. For a start, unlike Starmer, Burnham likes to be liked! So we might get a record number of U-turns, especially at this interesting juncture in British politics. Because it appears Westminster is starting to turn against the actions of Israel…..I said ‘appears’!!

What will all this mean for Scotland? Very little, I would imagine. For Swinney, it’s just a change of ownership!

This coming week is the week that the whole Murrel affair flares up again, so he might not have time to ‘consider’ the court ruling given against his government last week.

The one truth that is coming out regarding that is the cost to us, the taxpayers. A good use of the public purse…NOT!

On that subject, I see that when the FM or members of his Cabinet said there was no money left last year for some projects, that wasn’t quite the truth… surprise… surprise! Because there was an actual underspend last year of £358 million. A drop in the ocean, I know, but it could have been put to good use somewhere.

The lesson…dont believe everything politicians tell you!
