Michty! Light the heather noo! Former hereditary peer Jamie Sempill, who was due to stand in Embra Central at the May Scottish Parliament elections, has quit! Aye. And the 'main' reason for his resignation ....? A 'business opportunity' which had presented itself. He is to help organise a major international clan gathering in two years' time!!!! Cheers, mate!

So why then did he have to say ...that the Tories in Scotland had failed to grab enough media attention and criticise the "slightly lacklustre" (really!) performance of MSPs. He said: "We are not really considered that relevant in terms of the forthcoming election. We are not considered as major players."

"Annabel is an amazing, bright, capable lady. You could say Cameron is long on charisma and maybe she isn't. ...."

The new Edinburgh Central Tory candidate is 'Fiona' Houston, a leading member of the Save Inverleith Park Campaign against proposals for a skatepark. Long on charisma, or maybe she isn't....
