Last week media speculation that the SNP’s honeymoon is over gathered pace as three high profile policies were mired in confusion.“The SNP government suffered a "wobbly Wednesday" yesterday as three flagship policies ran into trouble.”

“Wednesday, May 27, 2008 may well go down in history as the day the electorate stopped loving Alex Salmond and the Nationalists.”
Times, 29 May 2008
“If Alex Salmond’s worst day in government so far was ‘Wobbly Wednesday’, then yesterday would have to be threadbare Thursday.”
Times, 30 May 2008
I feel that no amount of huff and puff by Alex Salmond and John Swinney will hereafter disguise the fact that key SNP policies are unravelling. In the long term, running a government based on spin rather than policy substance is a government built on sand.
