So much for John Swinney's reforms (opens the original)
Read excerpt
John Swinney has created more confusion over his public sector reforms in a ‘shambolic’ meeting with council chiefs. The First Minister left local authority leaders exasperated by withholding details of his ‘radical’ scheme. One source said there was a ‘complete lack of transparency’ about the SNP’s much-vaunted shake-up of the public sector and the plan seemed to be only in Mr Swinney’s head. Another said there was ‘confusion’ over a flagship aim to overhaul social care. The Conservatives calle
Now Michael Gove offers to help the SNP rescue Scots schools (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Tory grandee Michael Gove has offered to help SNP ministers turn around Scotland’s schools by teaching them lessons from England.

Read excerpt
John Swinney has been told to make an urgent statement to Holyrood as his ‘back of a fag packet’ plans to overhaul the state continue to unravel. After a week of mounting confusion, the Scottish Conservatives said the First Minister must return to Parliament to correct the ‘shocking lack of detail’ so far. On Sunday, Mr Swinney was accused of offering voters ‘word salad’ after repeatedly refusing to set out the impact on jobs and the public finances in a TV interview. The Scottish Conservatives
