SNP leadership battle : Swinney (ahem) "up for it"
Under fire SNP supremo John Swinney confirmed to the JT that he relishes the prospect of a battle for the party leadership. "Let the challenger come ahead, I’m just back from my honeymoon where I got to have sex with a girl and everything."

Looking much more self-confident than of late, Mr Swinney leant back in his chair and stretched in a languorous fashion before continuing: "This contest is about the future direction of the party. The choice is clear, does the party want to be led by someone like Doctor Bill Wilson who's probably still a virgin or does it want the clear direction offered by a real man like me, whose been playing hide the sausage for the last fortnight."

Pressed on the SNP’s poor showing in the last election Mr Swinney insisted that the future is looking much brighter: "Yes, of course the future is still uncertain but one thing’s for sure, I’m onto a promise every night. It's fuckin’ magic."

Mr Swinney went on to insist that the debate at the party conference would be fair and focussed on the issues facing the SNP: "My question to Bill Wilson will be simple and dignified - did you get to shag anyone last night? Well, did you? Did you?"

Drawing the interview to a close, Mr Swinney hurried the JT editor out the door of his Angus home, explaining: "Liz is due back in ten minutes and I want to nail her while she’s taking her coat off."

Inside: "inside"? Cor, sounds a bit rude…
