Let's be honest - this was a jolly dressed up as a business trip! BBC News - John Swinney defends £45,000 business-class flights to World Cup - BBC News bbc.co.uk/news/articles/ceqe…

High on energy, low on substance. Symptomatic of today's politicians! Quoting academic studies when 'real world' evidence contadicts them.

Not a chance. If he manages to limp on to the Gorton and Denton by-election, he'll be gone after the results are announced. Then it won't even be #twoyearKier

Ed Milliband....Angela Rayner.....we'd be better with a duvet
