The Scottish Parliament gift shop is selling replica suffragette sashes while officials simultaneously ban scarves in the same colours from committee rooms. Farce
Spot the difference: Scottish Govt's copy of Yellowhammer says it's a 'base scenario', while UK Govt's says it's a 'reasonable worst case'.
Scottish Govt says it's 'puzzling' and 'curious'
Ruth Davidson brings up unsuspended SNP MP Patrick Grady at
#FMQs
, saying this week has shown that victims of alleged sexual assault can't trust the SNP to handle their complaints properly
Nicola Sturgeon incredibly weak at
#FMQs
on why the SG's defence collapsed in Salmond judicial review.
"The case collapsed because information came to light."
And, er, that's it

broke this story on Sunday, the SNP's first response was to threaten her with an IPSO complaint about her reporting
According to latest vaccine figures announced by Nicola Sturgeon, Sunday saw fewer than 10,000 first doses administered in Scotland, lower than the previous Sunday. We actually seem to be going backwards

Nicola Sturgeon says her long-awaited answers on economy and currency under Indy due out within days. But *after* this weekend's SNP conference in Aberdeen, so delegates there unable to debate them. Fancy that.
This does not look good. FM and DFM said Inquiry asked for WhatsApps in September. Inquiry makes them correct that. Turns out it was actually February.
Yousaf and Robison accused of misleading Holyrood over Covid WhatsApps
Kate Forbes asked again at Holyrood just now about what is going on at the suddenly boss-less Scottish National Investment Bank. Doesn't even attempt to address the Q
