Pat on the back for a Labour man

Well it is in Scotland, and he does have a history of rebellion, but nonetheless, well done to the Labour minister who has resigned over the plan to replace the Trident nuclear subs.

Communities Minister Malcolm Chisholm has resigned from the Scottish government after voting with the SNP over the replacement of Trident.
He was one of four Labour members who supported the SNP’s motion opposing the replacement of the nuclear submarines with up-to-date models.
Mr Chisholm said his decision had been a “matter of principle”.
The Scottish Parliament failed to agree a position on the future of the Clyde-based fleet.
