Blimmin flip - He is supposed to be minister for te Islands and knows diddly squat about what is the main topic of conversation in the islands, this group at least. But then, this is what we have come to expect from a government based in the other end of the country. Where Edinburgh and Glasgow is seen as "central".
It very much seems that the one law is for Mr Stewart, whilst the other law is for the rest of us, Mr Cummings included. I am sure if Mr Wheelhouse was asked about Durham or Barnard Castle, he would know exactly where they are.
