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

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.
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

Yousaf and Robison accused of misleading Holyrood over Covid WhatsApps
