According to BBC News:

Labour peer and MSP Mike Watson has pleaded guilty to deliberately starting a fire and endangering life at an Edinburgh hotel last year…

A not guilty plea to a second fire-raising charge was accepted at the city’s sheriff court…

Watson, 56, said he intended to resign from the Scottish Parliament.

I hadn’t heard about this before though:

He was very drunk and acting bizarrely.

He wandered around the hotel staring out of dark windows, asked for directions to a cloak room although he had no coat ticket and then became rude and aggressive to staff.

This, of course, means a by-election in Glasgow Cathcart.
