Hamish Macdonell - no rest for the faithful.

IT may be St Andrew's Day and the Scottish Government may be on holiday tomorrow (even though nobody else in Scotland seems to be getting the new holiday) but some of those in the political process never rest.
Labour's spinners fired off a whole series of releases today, claiming of a "crisis" in education because of a lack of teachers, warning about the Scottish Government's desire to lease some of Scotland's forest estate, and claiming there was a housebuilding crisis.
The Nationalists hit back, dismissing all the Labour charges and attacking with accusations of their own.
A lot of effort expended, many emails sent out and for what? There may be some coverage tomorrow in some of the newspapers but I guess if they didn't, and some story did take off without their comments, they would not have done their job.
There will no doubt be more of the same tomorrow, much more.
One item which will dominate the news agenda though, home reports. They are introduced tomorrow, a government holiday and a quiet news day. Expect a lot of coverage, very little of it favourable to the SNP government.
