Indiscipline?

Dr Elaine Murray MSP (who she?) goes off-message. The BBC website reports:
"Labour will promise not to block new nuclear power stations when it fights the Scottish election next May, one of the party's MSPs has said.
Dr Elaine Murray is campaigning for a new plant to be built on the site of the old one at Chapelcross, near Annan...
Scottish Labour has not formally said whether it will campaign for or against nuclear power in Scotland.
But Dr Murray told BBC Radio Scotland programme The Investigation that the party had no objection in principle.
Dr Murray said: "The position of the Labour Party going into the Scottish Parliament elections will be that we would not, on principle, block an application for a new nuclear power station in Scotland.
"We would consider any planning application on its merits."

After months spent trying to hold the line, the First Minister will be spitting blood...
