As a Convenor I asked whatever questions I wanted to. I also encouraged the committee members to as well. I only stopped questions that we purely political cheerleading!

Well this isn’t going to work @ScotGovFM will talk the time down.
Hmm, new time limited #FMQs coming in today. Countdown covers FM's answers as well as the questions, so a long-winded reply eats into the opposition's time?

Just watched @JennyGilruthMSP answering questions for the First Minister. Delighted to see how well her reading has improved when answering SNP questions. 👏👏

Surely this not a difficult question to answer….unless you need to hide your real opinions
“Does Israel have the right to exist?”

PAUSE for 8 seconds

Good piece by Kate Forbes:

“SNP can no longer afford to duck the defence debate”

The money was never going to be used to bail out the Scottish budget. I am sick of hearing of why we don’t have a sovereign wealth fund. This £750m would have been a good start ….but it has been frittered away!
One of the findings from my report on the management of the ScotWind leasing round was that it's not clear how the £755m raised is being used.

It's important the Scottish Government is more transparent about its plans.

For all the tedious outraged Nats, here’s the view of one of your own about today’s “debate” in Holyrood; former key staffer to Kirsten Oswald.
Everyone and their dog knows there won’t be a second independence referendum during this parliamentary term.

Today’s ‘debate’ is window dressing from a party that has failed to ask why it lost the 2014 referendum and refuses to level with its own membership.

The debate in the @ScotParl on Independence is really helping solve the crisis in education and health. 🤦

I seldom respond to @realDonaldTrump comments. However if I did, I might say I would welcome a united America with Canada having constitutional control.
