MISSING JACK McCONNELL HIDES FROM SCOTTISH PARLIAMENT.


MISSING JACK McCONNELL HIDES FROM SCOTTISH PARLIAMENT.

SNP MSP Christina McKelvie tonight criticised former First Minister Jack McConnell after he failed to attend today's statement in Parliament despite appearing on TV yesterday and in the papers saying Parliament had to make its voice heard.



Ms McKelvie said; “McConnell’s petty posturing has been exposed. “It seems he is more concerned with getting on TV than appearing in Parliament.

His credibility was already under attack from the public angry with his comments now he has written off his remarks with his own absence.


“Jack’s outrageous comments over the weekend have backfired badly as more and more people show their support for Kenny MacAskill’s decision.


" It is no wonder he went into hiding and failed to appear in Parliament today.

“We know Jack McConnell wants to leave the Scottish Parliament –it is a disgrace that after his comments at the weekend he did not even show Parliament the courtesy of turning up."
