Meeting with some of the young musicians who are campaigning so hard for the music groups in Perth and Kinross. We're all working hard to find a solution.

So pleased that we are now back on track and ready to take our party, movement and country forward. This will be the beginning of a new energised and successful era for the SNP. Can't wait.

Snapping the snappers. A bit of interest in John's leadership bid.... Honest, sincere and personal responses to all the questions.

What a fantastic speech confirming he is running as leader of our party and country. There can be no person better prepared and ready to lead.

This important report from the All Party Music Group outlines the threats of unfettered AI on the music industry. Creativity is not determined by algorithms and ingestion. It comes from human imagination. It always has.

As if we didn't know it already. Alba is not a party of independence. It is nothing other than an anti-SNP party.

NEW: Alba's Ash Regan voted with the Tories, Labour and LibDems in favour of the no confidence motion in the Scottish Government 'The vote was purely performative and in many ways irrelevant,' said the party's general secretary

Really proud to host and say a few words at the Air Ambulances UK Annual reception. Our air ambulances are a lifeline service and I know with the work of the Scottish Charity Air Ambulance based in Scone the essential work they undertake.

The sheer level of nastiness of this current group of Scottish Conservatives is what now defines them. Imagine the ugliness they would bring to our country if they even got within a whiff of power. Disgraceful.

Just a pity we couldn't have a motion of no confidence in the opposition Labour Party and all their petty pointless stunts.

BREAKING: A motion of no confidence in the Scottish Government lodged by Labour has failed at Holyrood Anas Sarwar put forward the motion arguing it would be 'untenable' for the SNP to 'impose yet another unelected first minister' on Scotland

Never before has such rubbish been uttered about an Act than has been uttered about the Hate Crime Act. If the Tories, in one of their piques, had their way and abolished the Act it would leave us with no protection against racism, islamophobia or homophobia.

Since I was first elected ultra unionists have predicted our defeat and decline. The problem is they don't understand us and our desire to see our country independent. Like all other such attacks all it will do is encourage us and ensure we will regroup, grow and prevail.

And he is spot on. We have to be unified and ready for the impending General Election. John will ensure that.

What a graceless and even ugly response to today's events. It's as if this current crop of Scottish Conservatives can't turn off even for a moment.

Ross: We have 'forced Humza Yousaf out of office for failing Scotland'. The Scottish Conservative leader tabled the motion of no confidence in Yousaf as First Minister.

Understand one potential frontrunner Neil Gray is telling colleagues he wants John Swinney to stand as leader of the SNP and that's his first choice to replace Humza Yousaf.
