First debate in the new Scottish Parliament and Reform fail to lodge an opposition amendment to the SNP’s motion pushing for another independence referendum. Incompetence from their whips? Or just more evidence proving how soft Reform are on the Union?

The Presiding Officer has selected an Urgent Question for this afternoon. @Rachael2Win will ask @ScotGov what assessment it has made of the impact on public confidence in political institutions in Scotland following the guilty plea by former SNP chief executive Peter Murrell.

Ever the faithful deputy, eh? John Swinney must be the only person who seriously believes Nicola Sturgeon knew nothing of her husband's illegal activities.

Great to join @RussellFindlay1 @Miles4Lothian @AJABurnett and the team out campaigning doe the Aberdeen South by-election. As the sign says, only @DLumsden_MSP can beat the SNP here. Vote @ScotTories on June 18th.

Only the Scottish Conservatives can beat the SNP in Aberdeen South. Other parties just aren’t strong enough locally. On 18th June, vote for @DLumsden_MSP to beat the SNP and back our North Sea oil and gas industry.

Kemi is right

Kemi Badenoch makes plea to Aberdeen South voters - make by-election a 'referendum on oil and gas' - scottishdailyexpress.co.uk/news/politics/… scottishdailyexpress.co.uk/news/politics/…

Kemi Badenoch and I were in Aberdeen today fighting for UK oil and gas. Fantastic firms like Uniconn face a bleak future due to Labour and SNP policies. That's why voters in the Aberdeen South by-election should back Douglas Lumsden on June 18.

John Swinney has reshuffled the same failed ministers to form his new cabinet. The public will have no confidence that the SNP can deliver on the big issues with the same unsuccessful cast at the top.

If this is what the “fox in the hen house” looks like then the hens win hands down. Reform promised to shake things up, but as the faces behind @ThomasKerrMSP show, they failed miserably today. Only @ScotTories voted against the appointment of bad SNP ministers. Reform ABSTAINED.

And, at the first big test you failed. Only @ScotTories voted against the appointment of bad SNP ministers like Jamie Hepburn today. Lilly livered Reform sat on their hands - and ABSTAINED.

We need to get drilling again before it’s too late. Voters in Aberdeen South can send a message to the SNP and Labour on 18 June. Back @DLumsden_MSP and let’s Get Britain Drilling👇

Kemi and I are in full agreement: Back North Sea drilling and Scottish jobs👇

For every £7 of taxpayers' money the SNP government spends, £1 is spent on benefits. How can John Swinney's new deputy think that the SNP's benefit bill is reasonable?
