ONE of the region's most prominent politicians has been booted out of her job.

Catriona Bhataia was voted from her education post at Scottish Borders Council after colleagues turned on her for breaching trust.

The Tweeddale West councillor leaked details of private plans to slash education spending to a local newspaper.

And, on Thursdya, senior members of the local authority claimed the breach was the final straw in months of behind the scenes rows.
