“YOU campaign in poetry, you govern in prose”. I forget the name of the New York mayor who said this, but the line came to mind during the minor stooshie that developed after First Minister Humza Yousaf used the phrase “Tory-free Scotland” at the weekend in a speech ahead of the General Election.majority since 1955.
