SNP Crisis: Banker threatens legal action, Margo MacDonald escapes handlers - swats at jet fighters from Calton Hill.
Banker and under-attack SNP treasurer Ian Blackford revealed today that not only will he be suing Alex Salmond over the "no confidence" issue he may take even take even more serious action:

"Yes, indeed, I might have to send him a very stiff letter asking him what he intends to do about the size of the Party's overdraft. And I'll charge him £30 for the privilege, the smug faced wee wanker."

It was revealed last night the exact wording of the executive motion, proposed by Mr Salmond, expressing no-confidence in Mr Blackford's performance as party treasurer. The motion read: "Hands up who thinks Blackford's shite."

Elsewhere, in what is widely seen as a move to purge the party of anti-Salmond sentiment, MSP Margo MacDonald was to be carpeted yesterday at a SNP meeting in Edinburgh for breaching party discipline.

Somehow, Ms MacDonald escaped her handlers on the way to the meeting, breaking the chains restraining her as if they were naught but strands of silk.

Terrified locals scattered in terror as Ms MacDonald clumped her way along Princes Street and up Waterloo Place before climbing Calton Hill and clambering atop Nelson's Monument and roaring her defiance at attacking jet bombers.

We phoned a Scottish Labour Party spokesman for a comment on the SNP's woes but he just laughed non-stop for half an hour until we got bored and put the phone down.
