Well done Douglas Ross and the Scottish Conservatives.

Humza Yousaf has confirmed his intention to stand down as SNP leader and as First Minister.

What an excellent Monday!

Labours immigration policy is both non existent & all over the place in Wales. It’s a disgrace that a Shadow Minister is on #bbcqt & doesn’t know her party policy in the part of the country they are already in government

“The children are being used as a football”

As Humza Yousaf uses the children in the #CassReview as a political point scoring football?

Ridiculous given the seriousness of the review and report. #FMQ s #FMQ

It’s a brass neck that Humza Yousaf couldn’t say brass plaque… #FMQ s #FMQ
