David Maddox: The lonely world of Malcolm Chisholm

As I wandered into the canteen earlier I noticed a table full of Labour MSPs with a couple of free seats. On the next table sat all alone was Labour MSP Malcolm Chisholm.
Could it be that the former UK and Scottish minister (the first to resign from the Blair government in Westminster and also resigned from McConnell's executive) wanted a quiet moment to himself?
Or was it that he is now persona non grata after stating he will support the SNP Scottish Government in the Lockerbie bomber vote tonight and condemning his own party colleagues for politicising a quasi judicial ministerial decision?
Mr Chisholm is listed as the Labour for Edinburgh North and Leith or should that read Coventry?

I don't - quite - agree with him, but good luck to him.

Maybe Malcolm is picky who he sits with.

Wow! A Scottish Labour MSP acting out of principle. No wonder he is shunned by his colleagues.

I don't suppose the Scotsman will condemn his party colleagues for politicising a quasi judicial ministerial decision???

I would sit with Malcolm Chisholm no probs, certainly before I would go near any of the rather pathetic individuals that comprise 'Scottish' labour or their twin party the equally naff and dreaded Tories.

they had a great time being duplicitous and yet having the temerity to run down Scotland, Scots and the Scottish Judicial System.
