He does not seem to care about that or if he does, he does nothing about it. But my word if you look at his social media proclamations … you would think that he was indeed First Minister of Gaza.
This is a problem that the Scots must sort out, the Scottish electorate must sort out, indeed the British electorate must sort out.
