A very experienced former Cabinet Secretary - although largely in the culture brief. Arch party loyalist. Probably a good political appointment - someone on the way down career wise who can steady the ship. No known interest/sympathy for cycling, but no known hostility either. May be open to approaches from cycling campaigners - need to get in before the EV folk mind, who seem to be dominating things these days. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=21291#post-368591 Sat, 10 Jun 2023 08:32:12 +0000 chdot 368591@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>“</p> <p>Humza Yousaf will appoint a new transport minister at the start of next week as the Scottish Government seeks to get a grip on escalating problems in the sector.</p> <p>The First Minister will announce the appointment on Monday or Tuesday, The Scotsman understands. </p> <p>“</p> <p><a href="https://archive.is/eZ5ra" rel="nofollow">https://archive.is/eZ5ra</a> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=21291#post-368589 Sat, 10 Jun 2023 08:27:21 +0000 chdot 368589@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>“</p> <p>Herald View: Transport post deserves full Cabinet status </p> <p>“</p> <p><a href="https://archive.is/rQv6W" rel="nofollow">https://archive.is/rQv6W</a> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=21291#post-368485 Tue, 06 Jun 2023 13:26:44 +0000 chdot 368485@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Now he’s resigned. </p> <p><a href="https://twitter.com/kevinstewartsnp/status/1666042966174056450" rel="nofollow">https://twitter.com/kevinstewartsnp/status/1666042966174056450</a> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=21291#post-367720 Mon, 24 Apr 2023 15:27:21 +0000 chdot 367720@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>“</p> <p>Thanks to all @ABZ_Airport for hosting me today, for the interesting discussions and for allowing me to see the airside operation first hand. </p> <p>“</p> <p><a href="https://twitter.com/kevinstewartsnp/status/1650494326990942208" rel="nofollow">https://twitter.com/kevinstewartsnp/status/1650494326990942208</a> </p>
