So Mr Cairns has gone. Maybe he was just bored to tears. It cannot be easy being the Minister of State in a department - such as the Scotland Office - with nothing to do.
If you check the departmental website, you will see that in August it managed to put out seven press notices (and a further two in September). By contrast, the Executive puts out that number every day.
But fair dos. He has given up a handsome salary, a ministerial limo and a position that might have seen him elevated further. Apparently on a matter of principle. So, until we hear otherwise, respect.
