Special edition of podcast just recorded with Patrick Joyce. It'll be up for a'body soon.

Brave of Douglas Ross to go on popularity at #FMQs . A recent poll had him less favourable than a completely made-up person when it comes to being the next First Minister.

The unifying statement of intent from John Swinney this morning could not have been more impressive.

Precisely what the party, but more importantly the public, needed to hear.

A man who speaks to all of Scotland, he will lead us to a brighter future.

Powerful, generous resignation speech by Humza Yousaf taking the rap for ending Bute House Agreement in way that unduly upset Greens. Says Indy is frustratingly close but last miles of a marathon are always the hardest. He’ll remain FM till new leader selected.

“I am not willing to trade my principles or values or do a deal with whomever simply to retain power.'

Humza Yousaf stepped up to lead The SNP during one of the toughest moments in its long history.

He has my total respect for staying true to his values till the very end; for showing true leadership on issues like Gaza; and being a committed public servant for Scotland.

This is deeply disturbing and should be the lead story in every news outlet.

This is constitutionally illiterate. We live in a parliamentary not a presidential system. We don’t “elect” First Ministers but governments.

And a reminder: Labour “imposed” an “unelected” First Minister in Wales two weeks ago.

Humza narrowly wins leadership contest.

Yousaf leadership weak

Humza keeps BHA in place.

Yousaf leadership weakens

Humza ends BHA.

Humza faces no confidence vote.

You get the picture

Scottish Greens He backed you.

Michael Marra MSP As has become a common feature of your contributions Mr Marra, purely political rhetoric.

1. Firstly, its a Hillcrest HA/DCC development.
2. All DCC properties have been handed over.
3. Labour in Dundee supported this.
4. You forgot the impact of a pandemic in the middle.

Yesterday, after terminating the Bute House Agreement, Humza said the SNP minority Government would focus on the priorities of people in Scotland and here’s a fine example of just that.

🏡 Every family deserves somewhere to call home and that’s why the SNP Scottish Gov’t has announced bold new plans to increase the number of affordable homes.
