Jack the diplomat

So farewell, Jack McConnell. You have had a few unhappinesses in recent years - that damn kilt and the golf club dinner are only two of them. But, at least, you kept the show on the road for five years - until the wheels came off last May.

And now big Gordon has appointed you as High Commissioner to Malawi, according to The Guardian (here). Congratulations. I suppose that will mean a by-election for your present seat.
