Times are tough, economically, and even those with no prospect of unemployment until 2011 must plan ahead. Still, making complex and dubiously-timed property moves might prove unpopular with your employers, in this case the public in the North East, not to mention with your colleagues.
I imagine the heated discussions with Mr Don have already begun. Admitting signing up for a massive and discredited benefit just before the deadline, like Indiana Jones grabbing his hat as the wall comes down, can't be part of the SNP playbook. It's a particularly bad idea while you're on the phone with Paul Hutcheon, the Scottish Parliament's unofficial Standards Commissioner.
Also, shouldn't a list MSP be representing the entire region, not "covering" seats their party hopes to pick up next time?
