Anas Sarwar calls for a fresh leader. ‘I’m here,’ cries John Swinney, adding cheerily about Scottish Labour: ‘They’re over the moon that I’m here. They sent me here. They were all behind it!’ Seems to be enjoying his first #FMQs in the top job

Nicola Sturgeon's finance secretary has been appointed as John Swinney's deputy. This SNP Continuity Cabinet will continue to obsess about independence and ignore your priorities.

Just what was it about Labour's immigration policies that were so attractive to right wing, anti immigration Tory MP, Natalie Elphicke...?

I think the last few days has shown that respect and consensus can be a feature across our politics in Scotland. No one should be asked to forgo or compromise on deeply held political convictions but we must ensure that all views are valid and everyone has the right to make them

I have worked closely with John Swinney for more than 30 years. He was by my side throughout my time as FM - as deputy, friend and confidante. He is one of the kindest and most decent people I know - and without doubt the right person to be FM in this moment, for both party and…

It's quite remarkable the difference in tone between John Swinney and Sarwar and Ross in today's BBC clips. Where they seem angry, agitated and typically divisive John talks of unity and consensus .

Really pleased that Graeme has chosen not to pursue his leadership challenge. We can now get on with getting the party ready for the next election and set out our renewed agenda.

I ran the 2005 General Election campaign for the SNP which took place 19 years ago today. It was just about the lowest point for the party in the devolution era but we gained 2 seats from a notional 4 to 6 and set up our victory in 2007. Feels like yesterday.....
