	BBC News \| UK POLITICS \| Macdonald: Unelected but respected
		As a young man, Lord Macdonald was a radical left-winger, and after leaving the shipyards after eight years he became circulation manager for the left leaning journal Tribune before taking his first step into journalism as a feature writer at The Scotsman.
		Lord Macdonald, who is close friends with both Gordon Brown and Donald Dewar, was created a peer in 1998, and was appointed to the Scottish Office in the same year, the last appointment of Tony Blair's 1998 re-shuffle.
		Lord Macdonald was formerly active in left-wing politics but on his appointment to the government in 1998 he revealed his political activism had waned: "I became non-political about 25 years ago and I have not carried a party card since," he said.

		Macdonald is unashamedly pro-car, telling me testily that I am out of touch for suggesting that more should be done to move people off the roads and on to public transport: "Most people are pro-car.
		Macdonald is a tough, confident, experienced man, a sort that new Labour has rather few of.

	New Statesman - A minister trying to manage a crisis
		Your interview with the minister for transport not only exposes his complacency towards a crisis that is doing immense damage to the railways, but also suggests why his native city must be the only one still keen to build yet more urban motorways.
		Gus Macdonald likes statistics as he likes cars, and clearly has not the faintest notion of the railways performing a public service.
		As for me, my recent rail journeys between the two cities have taken, on average, nine hours rather than five, owing to incompetence by Railtrack verging on the malicious; but, I suppose, that is not statistically significant.

		The plot to appoint Macdonald was hatched in total secrecy - until the news was given in London by Downing Street just in time to take the surprise out of the new Minister's smiling entrance on the Scottish political scene.
		Mr Macdonald might indeed make a redoubtable Minister but the manner of his arrival was the stuff of yet more lurid headlines of the type Labour has suffered in the miserable year or so since Mr Dewar was walking on water as the most popular politician in Scottish history.
		It might just be that Donald Dewar knew all along that there would be a row about Gus Macdonald and that he decided to brazen it out.
