So let me get this straight. Gordon Brown has said the vow wasnt worth the parchment it was written on, has accused David Cameron of reneging on his promise of more powers to Scotland, and has therefore naturally called for people to sign a petition demanding that the Tories deliver even less powers than they are actually planning to. Oh-kaaaay. My head is hurting. No disrespect, but I think those of us who actually want the vow on Devo SUPER Max/near federalism to be honoured might just be able to find a more useful petition to sign. Give Gordon his due, though - if you want to make the union absolutely secure, what better way of doing it than to have the front man of a solemn vow that saved the union tell everyone only a few days after the vote that the whole promise was a trap, and that all we can do now that weve been conned into throwing away our chance to decide our own future at the ballot box is to sign a stern-looking petition and cross our fingers really tightly. The sophistication of his claim that Cameron is somehow trapping us by devolving too many powers will not detract from the genius of this intervention one iota. Ruth Davidson apparently said earlier today that she would be astonished if the SNP won an extra 20 seats at the general election. I wonder if shes quite so sure now? Next itll be Willie Rennie : Without Your Help Well Never Get Nick Clegg to Listen.”
