"Europe Minister Douglas Alexander has been given his first cabinet post as Scottish secretary and transport secretary, replacing Alistair Darling."
Interesting. That would be the same Douglas Alexander who is brother to Wendy Alexander who almost took on Mr McConnell in seeking to become First Minister and who subsequently resigned (or perhaps was forced to resign) from the McConnell Cabinet. Not likely to be a bosom buddy of Mr McConnell then.
Never mind, Mr McConnell can look forward to increased co-operation from the new Home Secretary, John Reid. All Lanarkshire MPs and MSPs together, yes? Oh no, apparently they don't get on...
Are there any Scottish MPs that the First Minister actually gets on with? Time to start building some bridges perhaps?
