Sniffing Around the Purcell Story

Further to the post below, TB understands that former Scottish Labour rising star Steven Purcell was as happy as larry on Friday morning yet mysteriously cleared his diary by the afternoon and went into crisis meetings before bringing out the "stress" press release and resigning last night. Could this be a little white lie?

What could have made him react so suddenly? What story did someone discover and put to him?

Sniff sniff.
