I made the point that it demeans the political office, and the right of others to express an opinion without resorting to childish mud-slinging. It’s akin to last week’s model Sheridan calling his SSP colleagues ‘scabs’.

With the power and influence she enjoys comes a responsibility to be polite and conciliatory, but the language she used was out of order. I have no idea what has been going on during the lead-up to the vote. Like you, I feel that it’s not my business, and have said previously that the bill’s contents and ramifications should be examined, and the law reviewed (as all legislation should be) once it’s in place. The brakes being put on by the Secretary of State is a different matter of course. I have no idea, therefore, what the arguments have been as progress was made towards legislation. It’s amateur stuff to lash out as she’s reported to have done, though. The sense of entitlement illustrated by her outburst is off the scale.
