Published Date: 01 September 2008
EDINBURGH West MSP Margaret Smith has been appointed the Scottish Liberal Democrat spokeswoman on education and young people in a reshuffle by new party leader Tavish Scott.
And Mike Rumbles, one of Mr Scott's rivals for the leadership, becomes chief whip. Ross Finnie, the other leadership contender, remains as health spokesman.

Ms Smith's old job as justice spokeswoman goes to Robert Brown, who was Mr Finnie's campaign manager. And Edinburgh South MSP Mike Pringle continues as deputy justice spokesman.

Borders MP Jeremy Purvis, who previously covered the education portfolio, becomes spokesman on finance and the economy. But former leader Nicol Stephen will not have any shadow brief.

From Daily Record this morning…
GRINNING Lib Dem politician Paul Coleshill strikes a pose - at a notorious club night where police uncovered a mass orgy.
Our picture shows the Scots councillor (Glasgow Langside) and university lecturer at a nightclub where police found up to 30 men having sex behind a screen.
As the Record revealed on Saturday, uniformed officers were mistaken for strippers when they busted the orgy at world-renowed Glasgow venue The Arches.
The nightclub and theatre venue was stripped of its operating licence for six weeks after councillors on Glasgow's licensing board found out about the incident, which took place earlier this year at a night called Burly.
The Record later unearthed the posing-pouch picture of economics lecturer Coleshill, 55, which was taken at a previous Burly night.
When we asked him about the photo, he admitted he used to go to the monthly men-only night - but said he was not there on the night of the police raid.
He said: "It was a Mr Burly competition - whether people look burly or not. And I looked suitably burly."

Is it me or did anyone else fall asleep during that rather turgid Daily Record article as supplied by #2 Tynietiger.

Scotland is on the cusp of a brand new era, Labour has adopted Lindsay Roy as their candidate, Darling has caused chaos with his latest interview etc etc

I'm afraid the goings on of some councillor in a club with a rather interesting line in entertainment doesn't even show on my radar.
