Kirsty Wark, Newsnight presenter and her husband invited a long standing friend Jack McConnell, First Minister of Scotland and his family over to her holiday home over New Years as reported in today's Guardian "Row over Wark's holiday guest". Given that even I could guess who the guest was from the brief "Kirsty Wark's decision to invite a senior Labour politician to her holiday home sparks row." shows that it's a non-story.
Wark and McConnell attended the wonderful Stirling University (my old uni) at the same time, and Stirling's certainly small enough that they would have known of each other there so it's no wonder they are friends. Are the SNP and the Tories really saying that nobody with any friends in politics is allowed to present political programmes? That's how silly this all is.
