Kez goes south

[Walter]

He speaks very highly of you though. But his mother always adopted the adage if you can't say anything nice about someone, don't say anything at all.

Methinks it a shame that more people don't follow that advice.

I think Hitler was a lovey man , especially when you take into account his water colours skills

Given she is in a political party with commitments to it, them for a start. And I would have thought the voters that she is there to represent as well.

That's rather a lot of people to have to ask permission of. Does a couple of weeks really bugger up her commitments? Doubt it. Her wages are going to charity. Can't argue with that.

Put it this way, I wouldn't be outraged if my local MP did the same thing.

[Robbie]

Neither would I (wouldn't even notice, frankly), and for all we know, she may have asked some people informally just to get an idea of how they felt about it. Her constituents may well vote for her if she's popular & if she does well, be proud of her.

Not well.known at the other end of the country.Is she there as bush tucker for StanleyJohnsons views?

Labour cannot sack her...she is not a constituency, but a list MSP - should she resign or be removed from Labour, she might well have to resign as MSP, to be replaced by the next candidate representing Labour iin the 2016 Holyrood election.

[Rhiannon]

I still don’t get why everyone is jumping up and down wanting her resignation. A couple of weeks doesn’t mean that everything in her constituency will come crashing down. I can’t stand my local MP but wouldn’t be demanding her head over this piece of nothingness.

[Udayana]

Same here.

Read the last line and insert your own joke.

Spoilsports! If she had lasted longer in the jungle, they'd have a different opinion.

Why do you think that?

[Robbie]

She would have been more popular nationwide, become a household name, people smiling at the mention of Kez, and i think that would have given her some kudos. Could be wrong though.  We'll never know! From what I saw she was boring as Hell in IAC. Disappointing.

So her problem was she didn't talk enough about tax thresholds.

[Robbie]

No comment.

My mate's brother-in-law bought a second-hand ladder that once belonged to the window cleaner of somebody who used to live next door to Esther Rantzen.

I'm now able to confirm that on this basis I've been formally approached to appear on I'm a Celebrity 2018.

As an MSP she surely has responsibilities in the Scottish Parliament. Unless it is in recess, she should be there fulfilling her democratic duties. If it is in recess, I don't see a problem.

It wasn't but are you saying that there are no duties of an MP/MSP in recess?

It's a moot point since the Scottish Parliament was in session, but, what would they be?

Surgeries? Responding to those writing to you? Representing a constituent that you had agreed to do so at a specific tribunal?

Do MSP's represent people at tribunals? I would have thought specialist legal representation would be more appropriate. The other responsibilities can be scheduled around time off. I also have to answer correspondence and meet clients in my job, but I can still take holidays.
