Richard Lochhead SNP MSP: Farmers call on him to resign due to Farm Payments disaster


More mis-management from the SNP who continually like to claim "Better for Scotland" and yet whose at best mediocre politicians continue to fail miserabley in the posts they hold and yet fail to accept responsibility and resign.

Scotland Deserves better than this.

Farmers call on SNP agriculture minister to resign
Around 250 farmers gather outside the Scottish Parliament and many express their anger at Richard Lochhead over a £178 million IT system that has failed to deliver millions of pounds of support.

SNP payment delay inflicting 'devastating toll' on farmers

Allan Bowie, the head of the NFU in Scotland, says the majority of farmers still have no idea when they will receive their funding under the reformed Common Agricultural Policy scheme and “the wheels have stopped turning in the Scottish countryside”.

£180 million of Public money wasted by the SNP on new Farm IT system still unusable despite months and months of promises from the SNP. Another SNP failure, more Public money wasted.

SNP panic measures on Farm payments a "sticking plaster"

11 May 2016  More demands for Lochhead  to be sacked   "Mr Rennie, who romped home in his North East Fife constituency, said there is “no way” the Rural Affairs Secretary could stay on".
=======================================================================

So Lochhead has finally resigned , no doubt doing so before he was going to be sacked anyway by Sturgeon  on Wednesday 18 May am. It's pitiful that he is using his Wife's illness as an excuse  for resigning after all this time, if he really wanted to "spend time with his Wife" he could have been doing so months and months ago through the whole time that Farmers have been calling for his resignation. It's hardly any wonder Sturgeon makes no mention of his time as "Rural affairs Minister, he has been a utter failure and leaves in disgrace.
