Examples:

  • He certainly has the chops for it – since his shattering loss in 2015 to the SNP's then 20-year-old Mhairi Black, Alexander has pursued a global career, teaching at Harvard and a number of the world's other top universities, and worked with Bono to tackle global poverty.
  • Other prospects for senior appointments are being kicked around. Kirsty McNeill, who is standing in Midlothian, was an adviser to Brown during the financial crisis, is executive director of Save the Children and is highly rated by everyone. The wily Blair McDougall ran the Better Together campaign in 2014 and is fighting East Renfrewshire. Martin McCluskey is a well-regarded young policy wonk who is expected to win in Inverclyde and Renfrewshire West. Patricia Ferguson, in Glasgow West, was a Holyrood cabinet minister under Jack McConnell.
  • There will need to be Scottish accents around the cabinet table, throughout Whitehall and on the airwaves.
