Posted by Whitehall at Wednesday, December 18, No comments:. Thursday, 7 November Tom Watson, the changed man. The first person we almost bumped into was Jeremy Corbyn. But the weekend after the botched coup against the deputy leader he was in no mood to meet the boss. We did, however, have several other encounters as we wandered through the Lanes.

He was genuinely popular. People flocked to greet him but Watson was most struck by one man whom he had met two years earlier. He looked and talked differently. There was a sparkle in his eye when he spoke about health, less so when he talked about Labour. On the way back to the conference he reminded us how he and his father once had their picture taken with Corbyn outside the hall.

But the laugh was hollow, the rift at the heart of Labour irreparable. With his departure a light goes off in the window for those who thought they could return to a moderate Labour party any time soon. Posted by Whitehall at Thursday, November 07, No comments:. Keith Schellenberg recalled. It was when I stepped ashore on the island of Eigg with photographer Sam Maynard I learned this was easier in theory than in practice.

The islanders, almost all tenants of the landlord Keith Schellenberg, were living in derelict, rented homes. They were working, or not working, depending on the whim of the laird who controlled everything on Eigg apart from the dole and the doctor. Eigg, we found, was in the feudal death-grip of landlordism. Speaking out took some courage, but for those who did it was the first step in finding a voice in their own story.

In turn charming and menacing, Schellenberg was a savvy torcuil crichton biography of william hill and media operator, casting himself as a misunderstood philanthropist of which the Hebrides has seen many. He tried outsmart the islanders by selling on, first to himself, then to a German fire artist. With legal advice from the late Simon Fraser, the islanders proved smarter.

They now own the place - game, set and match. I returned to Eigg two years ago for the 20th anniversary celebrations of the buy-out. The islanders were the same, warm and welcoming, and there were lots more kids running around. The population has increased by 60 per cent, over happy souls live on the inner Hebridean paradise. People were getting on with ordinary, radical lives.

Maybe that, the fact that islanders are cracking on with making Eigg a viable, self-sustaining community, is the best memorial to the Schellenberg era of misrule. Saturday, 27 July Dear Priti Patel - an open letter. From my Daily Record column. Friday 26th July. Dear Priti Patel. Forgive the informality and my open approach. We haven't had many journalistic dealings with each other, not since your parliamentary aides stole four bottles of whisky from a Scotland Office reception a few years ago and you had to issue an apology, which you did with great grace and humour.

Your staff were reprimanded, not sent to the gallows er, ha ha. You changed your mind on capital punishment, I hope I can change your mind on something else. You inherit a bulging in-tray from Sajid Javid; Brexit, citizenship and immigration will be priorities. Hopefully you will not have been bequeathed Javid's closed-mind attitude to drugs consumption rooms and the dire health crisis which leaves Scotland facing more than drugs deaths this year.

Health officials in Glasgow, the Scottish Government, local MPs, and this newspaper are campaigning for consumption rooms where addicts can administer their own drugs in a safe and sterile environment. This is controversial, I accept, but these facilities have been proven to save lives elsewhere. The Commons Scottish affairs committee investigation into the issue, which the Home Office boycotted under Javid, should be in your red box soon.

On health grounds, there are few arguments left against these facilities. As a political issue it is rather more tangled.
