Ming Campbell has no influence anymore - dumped as leader after a brief spell. Voted against the uni fees despite the 3-line whip. Promised to refer the ginger jock for abuse of his cabinet position but didn't.
The RAF was keeping Leuchars until the treasury said no -
Danny ******* Alexander is Chief Secretary to the Treasury and the local MP up north - as simple as that. It would be massively cheaper to keep Leuchars as is, put the army into Lossie and Kinloss while keeping the runway at either as a div. Leuchars provides QRA cover for most of the population centres in Scotland, Faslane and a nuke power station as well as providing overlap for Coningsby. It would make as much sense to move it all to Leeming, particularly with the independence vote next year.....
