    Typical SNP deflection tactics. Honest John can’t answer a simple question, what a joke Scottish politics have become. We are the laughing stock, the contempt which Krankie and co treat Scots is unbelievable

      Yup, devolution has been a great success.... Instead of just having one lot of useless self serving idiots in West Minister we now have two lots of them.... I'd vote to devolve the devolved parliament and go back to the old way of doing things. At least we get better value for money for having inept politicians...

      They used to call Swinney, honest John. Now he's better known as, dishonest John, the King of redacting. There's more chance of light escaping from a black hole than the truth coming to light from the SNP. It's a deplorable state of affairs.

    Swinney could have stood up months ago to clear up what went on with the ferry contracts. Instead, he is keeping quiet hoping the lost paperwork will never be found. Dereck MacKay must get a chance to give his version of events and reveal who actually gave the go ahead for those ferries.
    Swinney said he didn’t give the nod for the contracts, but gave ‘budget approval’ !! So if that’s not giving the nod !!

A six figure salary for continual failure. Another reason why the parish council in Edinburgh needs to be closed down permanently.
