Jackson Carlaw leading on the parking levy at DFMQs, reading out a letter from a constituent who’s unhappy with the plans. John Swinney says minority govt had to find agreement for budget - Tories were “spectacularly absent” from talks so they have no right to complain about deal
John Swinney says it’ll be down to local authorities to introduce a parking levy if they want to “localism in practice”. Jackson Carlaw says it’s a “disgrace” - govt has done no studies on how this levy would would work. He says it’ll “thump” workers #fmqs
John Swinney quotes Ruth Davidson and Graham Simpson on “localism” - says Conservatives are wholly behind empowering local government. He’s having a rare old time, and so are the SNP back benches, cheering every line
“This isn’t Blue Peter,” says Jackson Carlaw, criticising Mr Swinney’s “theatrical” performance. He’s got quotes too - pointing out SNP MSP Richard Lyle’s opposition to parking levies last year. JS says it’s rich for “purple faced” JC to accuse him of theatrics #FMQs
Everyone’s yelling at each other and having a marvellous time doing it. #fmqs
