Today’s Herald reports that Annabel Goldie is preparing a St Andrew’s Day address which contains what it calls “ferocious attacks” on Alex Salmond. The paper provides this great little taster:

“Even when he is wrong - and he often is - it’s never his fault. It’s London, it’s the Treasury, it’s the bankers, and it’s the media. Never our Alex. Perish the thought he could ever be humble enough to admit he is ever wrong. Take the current recession and the banking bailouts. Put quite simply, Alex Salmond was out of his depth. Where there should have been substance, and analysis and careful plans, there was only soundbite and spin and froth.”
