Sunday 4 May

Yes, let's launch the general election campaign whilst the campaign about the Scottish independence referendum is still in full swing, and reaching the crucial stages. The unionist parties have now definitely reached Complacency Central.

I have this awkward feeling that today's windy and wet weather will be the theme for the week ahead. In fact, our friend the gale will put in an appearance tomorrow. Oh well, it's only early May, so why complain...
