Published Date: 01 September 2008
NEWLY elected Liberal Democrat leader Tavish Scott yesterday reshuffled his team.
Leadership rival Mike Rumbles has been appointed chief whip, having previously looked after rural affairs. Ross Finnie, also a contender for the top job, remains as the party's health spokesman.

Former leader Nicol Stephen will not have any shadow brief in the new team.

Glasgow MSP Robert Brown becomes justice spokesman, taking over from Margaret Smith, who moves to education.

Orkney MSP Liam McArthur takes over the rural brief. Jeremy Purvis succeeds Mr Scott as spokesman on finance and the economy.

More exciting is this story in to-days Daily Record!

GRINNING Lib Dem politician Paul Coleshill strikes a pose - at a notorious club night where police uncovered a mass orgy.
Our picture shows the Scots councillor (Glasgow Langside) and university lecturer at a nightclub where police found up to 30 men having sex behind a screen.
As the Record revealed on Saturday, uniformed officers were mistaken for strippers when they busted the orgy at world-renowed Glasgow venue The Arches.
The nightclub and theatre venue was stripped of its operating licence for six weeks after councillors on Glasgow's licensing board found out about the incident, which took place earlier this year at a night called Burly.
The Record later unearthed the posing-pouch picture of economics lecturer Coleshill, 55, which was taken at a previous Burly night.
When we asked him about the photo, he admitted he used to go to the monthly men-only night - but said he was not there on the night of the police raid.

Interesting story for the Retard to be running. I think they run the risk of:

a) Giving the country's 4th party a bit of colour; and
b) Admitting that they have totally run out of things to say about the 3 Stooges.

I thought Sam Galbraith's opinion of them in the Sunday Herald was telling - but not as funny, or as insightful, as Tom Shields!!

New responsibilities for the Lib Dem team!

Mike Rumbles (former army officer) in charge of discipline, Jim Hume (farmer) Environment & Rural Development, Jim Tolson (former councillor) on local authorities, Robert Brown (ex-solicitor) on the portfolio of Justice, Alison McInnes (former Councillor and NESTRAN member) on local government and Transport, John Farquhar Munro (Gaelic speaker) on the Gaelic language etc etc.

Sounds like the Lib Dem team is now facing in the right direction! Lets give them the chance to see if they can make a real impact!

I have never posted anything about people's sexual preferences

I only posted story Lib Dems, who always adopt a holier than thou approach to politics, are trying to hide. They refuse to hand back £2.4 million donation from a man (and a Company which does not trade in UK) who was a wanted criminal and who left a
trail of unpaid creditors.

Your paymaster, Soutar really is holier than you.
But at leasty he is not homophobic like the other
SNP posters.
