Amazing. Struggling to hear the presenter, Shona Robison accidentally announces she is running for First Minister…

All of the political parties that elected MPs in Great Britain in 2019 have changed their leader since that general election - the last Parliament in which that was the case was that of 1955-59

Conversely I always wondered if this was a problem for Cameron - by 2010 he had been loitering in the public consciousness for longer than Brown as PM, and Clegg as new Lib Dem. Hard to be changemaker

Exciting new opportunity going at CCHQ

“People go round the loos making sure there are no MPs still cowering in the toilet.”

Green MP Caroline Lucas tells Matt Chorley “a lot of MPs, a lot of the time have no idea what they’re voting on”, as she reveals how 'dysfunctional' parliament is.

Politicians who won't tell their own supporters the truth are politicians who will not succeed. Humza Yousaf leaves office promising that 'independence is frustratingly close', thereby proving my point. Delusional.

Every tragicomedy needs a fall guy and it was Humza Yousaf's misfortune to be ideally cast in that role. thetimes.co.uk/article/snp-sc…

“Oh, grow up!”

David Davis addresses colleagues who may be thinking about moving against Rishi Sunak after the local elections.

''John Swinney could be installed as some kind of temporary leader while a new leader, a new formal leader is found.''

Kate McCann looks ahead to who might take over the SNP if Humza Yousaf resigns.

Perhaps he will do the decent thing and back date it! It's the least he can do.
