Well this isn’t going to work @ScotGovFM will talk the time down.

Hmm, new time limited #FMQs coming in today. Countdown covers FM's answers as well as the questions, so a long-winded reply eats into the opposition's time?

Just watched @JennyGilruthMSP answering questions for the First Minister. Delighted to see how well her reading has improved when answering SNP questions. 👏👏

Surely this not a difficult question to answer….unless you need to hide your real opinions

The money was never going to be used to bail out the Scottish budget. I am sick of hearing of why we don’t have a sovereign wealth fund. This £750m would have been a good start ….but it has been frittered away!

One of the findings from my report on the management of the ScotWind leasing round was that it's not clear how the £755m raised is being used. It's important the Scottish Government is more transparent about its plans. My report: shorturl.at/nfpBF

For all the tedious outraged Nats, here’s the view of one of your own about today’s “debate” in Holyrood; former key staffer to Kirsten Oswald.
Marcus Carslaw (@marcuscarslaw1) profile pictureMarcus Carslaw@marcuscarslaw1Sep 22
Everyone and their dog knows there won’t be a second independence referendum during this parliamentary term. Today’s ‘debate’ is window dressing from a party that has failed to ask why it lost the 2014 referendum and refuses to level with its own membership.

The debate in the @ScotParl on Independence is really helping solve the crisis in education and health. 🤦

I seldom respond to @realDonaldTrump comments. However if I did, I might say I would welcome a united America with Canada having constitutional control.

Valve failure on CalMac ferry saw uncontrolled escape of flammable gas. Not being open and telling the truth about the failures of this ferry makes me convinced that CMAL and Calmac need to be subject to a full review and in CMAL’s case disbanded bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c1mv…

How many publicly advertised surgeries did Lorna Slater hold during the last parliament? Remarkably, her office this morning confirmed the answer I have long suspected: ZERO. Being a regional MSP was no excuse. Surgeries are still part of the job.
