Murdo Fraser: “Superb victory for Katie Harrison”

What an utter disgrace [Amnesty] is. Once a credible human rights organisation, it has been hijacked by woman-hating extremists who will even attack a rape crisis centre.

The fact that the workforce has actually increased at a time when SNP ministers have insisted their would be reduction in staffing levels could only have happened on the nationalists’ watch.

They clearly still don’t have the stomach for taking the tough but necessary decisions to ensure that the civil service is delivering value for money for taxpayers.

Any new chair – even on an interim basis – must be given the support and resources required by SNP ministers to finally fix the toxic culture that has engulfed HES for far too long.
