First the SNP supported Free School Meals - now they abstain. Scotland’s young people should not pay the price of SNP incompetence.

Patricia Ferguson is the new Scottish Affairs Committee chair. She beat Gregor Poynton by just two votes, taking 237 to his 235.

A damning judgement on the performance of the SNP Government.

Maybe - and I realise I'm going out on a limb here - but maybe school meals and rail fares are not actually independence-related issues? Maybe "unionist" isn't a relevant term when discussing them? Maybe Scotland has moved on from the arguments of the past?

My thoughts are with Grangemouth refinery workers and their families. This is not the news we wanted to hear. Both the UK and Scottish Governments are working with Petroineos to support them.

This is The SNP in West Lothian response to an increase in deaths related to alcohol harm. Utterly offensive & shameless & dehumanising every person impacted. I lost my dad to the drink. I was going down the same path. Those impacted by alcohol harm need support not this.

Trust me before I realised I had an issue, a Tenants logo, Micky mouse or nothing on a pint glass wasn't gonna stop me getting absolutely wrecked to shut up the demons in my head. When is the SNP government going to stop trivialising alcohol harm? Tackle the causes!

Thankful Paul Sweeney stays focused on Scotlands drug death crisis & thanks Neil Gray MSP for the acknowledgement of my work. With drugs more toxic than ever it's crucial people using the new consumption room have immediate access to support, feel respected & treated with dignity.

The rank incompetence is a massive problem for the country but, day to day, the stuff that really makes me angry is the lies and the refusal to take any responsibility ever.

The Labour Government has been in place for 9 weeks, we had Tory governments for 14 years under which the plans to close the refinery were announced. A period of reflection would serve you well Damian.

A Scottish Labour gain on Arran! Congratulations to Charles Currie and the whole North Ayrshire Labour team. Scotland's island communities have been failed by the SNP - that’s why they are voting for change with Labour.

A lovely, tranquil space created in the community garden at Boghall Parish Church by VIVA Boghall. Wildflowers, accessible planters, growing spaces and a central meeting point with a hammock to enjoy the quiet, it really does have something for everyone.
