Excellent to hear John Swinney say his top priority is child poverty, but Humza Yousaf said that as well and we got a council tax freeze.
Bit of speculation that the vote for First Minister could be as early as tomorrow.
OPINION: John Swinney needs a clean break from Nicola Sturgeon if he is to prosper as SNP leader. ✍️"To present himself as the future he will need to be unsparingly honest about the failures of the past." dailyrecord.co.uk/news/politics/… dailyrecord.co.uk/news/politics/…
BREAKING: John Swinney is the new leader of the SNP.
OPINION: John Swinney should start his time as First Minister with an apology. dailyrecord.co.uk/news/politics/… dailyrecord.co.uk/news/politics/…
Fart joke SNP activist claims he has enough nominations to stand against John Swinney. dailyrecord.co.uk/news/politics/… dailyrecord.co.uk/news/politics/…
John Swinney tells the BBC Sunday Show a Government he leads can “probably” secure the support of political parties other than the Greens.
It’s bonkers a party member who is not a parliamentarian can stand to be SNP leader. Seems the rule book needs an overhaul* *cue responses about real democracy etc
This is the bloke (Graeme McCormick) who is challenging John Swinney talking about the SNP’s independence strategy.

A sour speech from a bitter loser
Surely a July election is off the table given these results for the Tories?

@paulhutcheon Do they not have dentists in Aberdeen?
Lots of coverage in the papers marking 25 years of devolution. Has there been a better speech in modern Scottish politics than Donald Dewar’s at the official opening of the Scottish Parliament on July 1, 1999?
When you’ve had three Prime Ministers and five Chancellors since the last general election “chaos” is hardly the most effective line against your opponents.
🔴 Labour would have to enter a “coalition of chaos” with other parties to win office, No 10 sources have suggested, after an analysis said the general election could produce a hung parliament telegraph.co.uk/politics/2024/…
I was thinking I might get my fringe cut back in.
Forty years ago today, Aberdeen are presented with the league trophy ahead of a game with Hibs at Pittodrie. None of the choreographed pyrotechnics of today’s presentations, an office desk dragged onto the centre spot was enough.
If there is another non-MSP candidate for SNP leader by 1200 Monday, there’s no need to wait for outcome of leadership contest to elect nominee for FM. Parliament could crack on and nominate Swinney next week. SNP leadership race can then take its course
Of all the pressures facing Police Scotland, esp. financial, the idea that the appointment of senior officers from E&W (all bar one appointed under Iain Livingstone) represents some sort of existential threat to Scottish policing, looks petty and parochial.
@paulhutcheon “mouse poo expert”, as i recall in today’s column.

At some point, the Conservative party might wish to consider a London mayoral candidate who actually likes the city they want to run. Then it genuinely might turn into a tight race.

I'm sure they'll be able to come to some kind of agreement and work together
David Cameron now has a Lib Dem councillor. Liberal Democrats gained the Chadlington and Churchill ward in West Oxfordshire from the Conservatives, meaning the Foreign Secretary will now have a local Lib Dem Councillor.
I'm sorry to say but I absolutely, unashamedly love local election days. There's nothing that three strong cups of coffee and two radio appearances before 730am can't fix. The world looks a brighter place.
Wasn’t planning to stay up all night for the election results but @AvantiWestCoast have other ideas it seems! Absolute shambles of a journey.
