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

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

Chilliest party response so far is from Scottish Greens “We recognise that the passing of the Duke of Edinburgh will be felt deeply by some across the country and express our sympathies with his family, who join many others who have lost loved ones in this last year.”

I'm starting to wonder if the SNP are getting a taste for farce. Having told us Patrick Grady does not currently have SNP membership, they are refusing / failing all day to say if he has actually resigned or not.
