Now that the dust has settled...........

Campaigning in Glasgow East was amazing. In the last week you knew you were witnessing something special. The post poll party was almost an anti-climax.

Labour must have been so relieved it was all over and the posponed Leadership election in Scotland could go ahead. So what's happened so far?Certainly not a leadership contest - more a free for all bout of glorious in-fighting and mud slinging.

#1- Jim Dempsey's letter about Andy Kerr and Monklands
#2 - Briefing against Cathie by Andy's supporters
#3 - Tom McCabe MSP's Sunday Herald article
#4 - John Robertson MP's response - "This sounds like Tom is looking to position himself for a job. I am disappointed in him. I thought he was much more of a comrade than that, but he obviously isn't."Very illuminating all round.

Closing thought - why when I see a politician with his children do I think of hamburgers?
