AT the time of writing the PM is still Mrs May, for better or worse. But the odds on her departure are changing by the minute. Heir apparent and future King of Kings, the supreme performer Boris, is looking hot favourite for the job. Oh dearie dear.
We are all familiar with Boris’s faithful bag carrier, the Right Honourable Mr Ross Thomson MP (contradiction in terms there) who is faithful to his master BJ.
All new Prime Ministers appoint their own Cabinet. Fluffy Mundell must be in incredible pain after sitting on the various fences for years – so it’s odds on that he is emptied out.
Nightmare scenario – Ross Thomson appointed by Boris into the SoS Scotland post as an act of vengeance to really screw up Scotland?
Heavens forbid. Our real nightmare could be just around a very close corner.
Sad, but a realistic option.

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
