It's the Age of Stupid and Selfish.

So many egos fighting in a sack. Eejits.
Two leaders was always going to be a problem. Nevermind one of them is an ex-leader who failed twice.

This endless semantic argument is really tedious.
They said they wouldn't raise the 3 main taxes.
They haven't. End of. Everything else is points scoring.

Still not answering the question. Did you block Turness from apologising, after the memo leak.
We know you did. She said so.
Why not do both. Apologise, then investigate and issue further statements.
Dithering.
