Word has reached me from one of my many moles in the local SNP that Ralph Roberts, Managing Director of McGill's Buses, is being lined up as one of their candidates in either Ward 5 or Ward 6 at next year's Council Elections.
I am told that Mr Roberts has been headhunted by SNP campaign mastermind Stuart McMillan to lead the SNP Group should they be successful in seizing control of Inverclyde Council next May. I understand that Stuart believes that Mr Robert's success in turning McGill's into Scotland' third biggest bus operator shows that he is the man to lead an SNP run council.
A link between the SNP and a Scottish bus operator is nothing new of course. Stagecoach owner Sir Brian Souter is a major funder of the national party.
It looks like the local SNP are now getting on board the bus.
