Stewart Hosie and Shona Robison may have been up half the night pending the recount that would confirm him as Dundee East’s new MP, but the high-profile political couple had early starts this morning.
Stewart headed off first thing to Edinburgh for a post-election Press conference and the couple’s toddler Morag, who will be two next month, wasn’t going to let a little thing like daddy wresting the seat back from Labour keep her in bed a minute past the crack of dawn.
Clearly, Stewart and Shona are both consummate politicians, but they are aware that they will have to become equally adept at domestic juggling.

They did not urge their supporters to vote for Shona Robison, who stands for independence, but asked their supporters to back the sitting MSP, who was standing for the Unionist Labour Party.
Leaving aside the fact it is a city council issue and nothing to do with the Scottish Parliament, it is outrageous for Ms Robison to offer comment on an issue that impacts on a constituency she was not elected to represent.

 Scotland to face yet another fluoridation push
Shona Robison, the SNP's health spokeswoman, condemned ministers for passing the buck and accused them of removing parental choice.
Robison said regular dental checks were vital to stop the spread of decay and gum disease and that, with the number of dentists in Scotland declining, the executive must look at ways to ensure more people enter the profession.
