No government to vote, no SNP to vote, democracy at its finest…Meanwhile both Hamas and Israel were sat on the edge of their seats awaiting this result so they can decide what to do next. What an absolute waste of time and money…an absolute embarrassment for our country and parliament

Trouble is, the greasy pole will still be there.
