Maybe that's a question the "furious" Ming should be asked. After all this is the man who was caught out being "petty and mean-spirited" as he tried to block a parliamentary tribute to veteran Scottish Nationalist Margaret Ewing. Apparently he even wanted an investigation into the leak!

So why does such a person remain a Minister in the Executive which must inevitably mean he has the support of his fellow MSPs and his Scottish leader Nichol Stephen. It also begs the question of whether the robust responses shown to Hughes and Dollimore will be shown towards one of their people with far more power?
