Avian foot-in-mouth disease outbreak in Scotland wipes out Labour candidate

The Prime Minister had to deviate from his prepared campaign speech Friday to issue a condemnation of the actions of his own party's candidate.

The Scottish Labour Party has yanked Stuart MacLennan from the ballot in Moray, located along its namesake firth in northern Scotland. MacLennan was found to have made various derogatory comments on his Twitter account, calling Speaker John Bercow and opposition party leaders David Cameron and Nick Clegg various names, referring to elderly voters as "coffin dodgers", and bragging about his alcohol consumption while insulting the whisky distilleries in his own constituency. This dismissal only serves to help the current MP for Moray: Angus Robertson, leader of the Scottish National Party's Westminster Delegation.

Gee, it's not a good idea to post crap like that on Twitter when Sky News is following your every word (well, was before your account was deleted!)
