I should say for the purposes of balance that Mrs May has visited Chelsea and Westminster Hospital and met with staff and victims there. (BBC News) Cameras appear to have been absent.
That used to be served by the Edinburgh - Carnoustie local IIRC (i.e. the one that calls at Golf Street and Barry Links and so on). So more difficult for them now that the local calls have transferred to the Queen Street service.
I was surprised to see something positive come from That Useless Hunt. But it will take more than a few words to win over the staff of the NHS who have suffered financially and psychologically under his watch.
Obviously FPTP is a terrible voting system. We've seen that it's prone to gerrymandering, it tends to a bipartisan system, and it gives immense power to a small number of voters whilst effectively disenfranchising swathes of the population. It takes something cataclysmic to produce real change...
And to top it all off, they don't think it's fair that they're being held to the same standards as the other competitors. No really, that's what they said at the end.
Even at the end of the process, they still didn't really have a clue. It's actually quite spectacular.
What a waste of an...
I've just started watching this. Been pretty poor so far.
"We can't be worse" - I almost wish they would have been successful just to show them how much worse they could be. They'd be in for a shock.
EDIT: Actually, just watching them interview the public. They're leading most of their...
Another difference is that the leaders of three parties you mention have all held seats elsewhere.
The SNP leader Nicola Sturgeon sits in the Scottish Parliament and is the First Minister of Scotland. Alex Salmond previously also led the SNP from Holyrood.
Plaid Cymru's leader Leanne Wood...

Sounds like a lovely man to work for.
Over to Platform 10A now for the 08:44 Greater Anglia service towards Colchester. We take this train as far as Marks Tey Railway Station, arriving at 09:33 on Tuesday morning.
They need to maintain regular appraisal and CPD, as does any doctor, to retain their registration. They are subject to annual appraisal and 5-yearly revalidation. So they need some workload if they intend to retain their registration.
David Coburn is going to run to be leader of the Kippers, unless of course Nigel Christ has another resurrection. Why is David Coburn running? "To stop the loonies".
My former MP Dr James Davies could probably pick up more work as a GP with minimal fuss. Apparently he still worked the occasional shift during his short stint as an MP. He clearly wasn't very confident of a long term political career.
Pop over to the Royal Infirmary and ask a few of the docs. You'll find loads. :twisted:
I think she's happy with the job he's doing. He's effectively mismanaging the NHS into the ground.
Secretary of State for Scotland is David Mundell - doubt that will change. That is a cabinet post.
I doubt she'll appoint any of the novice MPs to cabinet posts at this time.
Sajid Javid continues as Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government.
David Lidlington (former Leader of the House) takes over Liz Truss's role as Secretary of State for Justice and Lord Chancellor.
