Thank you to @EmmaRoddickSNP @JoeFitzSNP and my dear mate @GeorgeAdam . They’ve given their all to serving in Scottish Government and I’m sure will continue to be a strong voice for @thesnp whatever comes next for them.

Hard not to get emotional watching this. Brave of @HumzaYousaf to talk about this so openly. All forms of racism are disgusting, of course. But when people question, challenge and deny your identity/existence - it really hurts so much more. #HateWontWin

It has been a privilege to know John Swinney over many years. He is a man of integrity, dedicated to public service. It was an honour to have the opportunity to vote for him to be Scotland’s First Minister today.

A message for any genuine ‘senior sources’ that briefed for this (and I do have my doubts about these unattributable quotes sometimes). That call for unity meant you too. Stop your secret wee quotes and get on with organising a canvassing session. Thanks.

NEW: Stephen Flynn is being lined up as a 'long-term option' for SNP leader with John Swinney simply being a 'stop-gap' until the next Scottish election, party insiders have claimed Senior SNP sources said there is a 'succession plan' in place to block Kate Forbes

It is vital the UK Government deliver a full compensation package for the WASPI women as soon as possible. Despite claiming they support WASPI women, I must admit I was left deeply disappointed that Labour failed to back the Scottish Government motion.

Social Justice Secretary @S_A_Somerville closed the @ScotParl debate on compensating the WASPI women, who were affected by changes to the UK Government's changes to the State Pension age. Around 336,000 women in Scotland are owed up to £1 billion in compensation.

This is a key stage for my bill. Today MSPs will have the opportunity to vote on its principles ahead of amendments. This can and must be a moment of unity for our Parliament. I am proud to have the support of MSPs from all parties.

Sorry to see First Minister @HumzaYousaf announcing his resignation today. I hope he will be remembered for the calm, authoritative leadership he displayed on the crisis in Gaza even in the most desperate of personal circumstances. My best wishes to him, Nadia and their family.
