Jack McConnell

Oh dear, poor Patricia Hewitt. It could happen to anyone I suppose. In an interview with Scottish TV this evening she contrived to get First Minister Jack McConnell's name wrong, not once but twice. He is said to be less than impressed. Never mind Jack, none of us are very impressed with Nanny Hewitt either. Just be grateful she's not in charge of the Scottish NHS...

UPDATE: SNP Angus Robertson tells me: "Jack McConnell is the invisible man of Scottish politics, hiding away from debating with Alex Salmond. And nobody knows who he is at Westminster either. The fact that Labour Ministers in London don’t even know the First Minister’s name makes a mockery of his partnership claims. The reality is that London Labour says jump, and Mr McConnell asks how high."

Game over... except for THIS interview with McConnell where he admits the SNP may win the May election. Not a good day for him really, is it?
