Letters to the press, 12/01/23: “If Nicola Sturgeon thinks her Health Secretary Humza Yousaf is doing a great job, I shudder to think what she considers failure. His record is abysmal. He is out of his depth, so much so that the First Minister did not allow him to speak at the briefing”

Letters to the press, 04/01/23: “Neither Ms Sturgeon nor the SNP is in charge of the country under the existing arrangements.

Letters to the press, 12/12/22: “During 15 “independence”-obsessed years in control at Holyrood, the one thing the Nats have excelled at is squandering vast amounts of taxpayers’ money on unsustainable hand-outs, just to bribe and gather votes.”

Letters to the press, 07/12/22: “Why is it that those who wish to destroy the UK are frightened to provide “the people of Scotland” with real facts and figures, the economic and financial details to show that Scots for generations will be better off in an independent country?”
