A Poor Example Social media was having a good chuckle at this earlier today. But as it turns out, it’s a bit more than just an embarrassment. There’s no law against a former First Minister and current MSP shilling for his wife’s therapy business on the internet, even if some people might think there should be. But Humza Yousaf’s wife Nadia El-Nakla is also an SNP councillor in Dundee. And public servants shouldn’t break the law. El-Nakla is advertising the £65 session as “women-only”.

The Last Thing They’ll Expect The deranged stalker who’s now posted 72 blogposts totalling 62,500 words attacking Wings in the last few years had another go last night. And as a rule we don’t bother addressing them because they’re so demented you could spend 5,000 words pulling apart all the individual strands of lunacy, and lunatics thrive on attention, but this one does merit a very brief comment. Because “Vote Labour, get indy” wasn’t our plan. It was John Swinney’s.

Even by the embarrassing standards of The National, the gulf between this morning’s blaring front-page splash and the weak, watery weasel words in the actual article is a chasm so wide and so yawning (in every sense of that word) that it would put the epic planetary scar of Mars’ Valles Marineris to shame.

Let’s Make Jen Safe Again On reflection, we feel we may have not taken this story seriously enough. After all, they don’t put just ANY old guff on the front page of the Sunday Mail. So we’ve decided to make amends. Please, readers, give generously – or as we perhaps ought to say, JENerously!!!!! – to make poor frightened Jen Bell safe, as far away from the awful transphobic climate of Scotland as possible. 7,412 miles should do it.

Because it’s Trannah Rodger so you probably already assumed it’s bollocks. SPOILER: you were right. Firstly, absolutely nobody’s “FLED” to anywhere. Jen Bell – who alert Wings readers may recall recently flouncing angrily out of the Scottish Greens after becoming the racist, homophobic, misogynist, rapist-supporting fringe party’s executive co-chair last year – is in fact on a previously-planned holiday. It’s an odd choice of destination. “Friendliest”?
