It has been confirmed to me that one of the staff members at Home Farm who had previously tested positive for covid-19, recovered and was tested negative twice has tested positive again.
The staff member concerned was re-rested on Sunday and received confirmation last night that they were positive. It is important to stress that when someone does test positive having previously had covid-19 that they may not necessarily be infectious.
Clearly however we cannot take any risks. I have been in touch with NHS Highland this morning and I have asked that as a precaution all staff and residents at Home Farm are tested today and the results must be known ahead of the court hearing tomorrow.
I felt it important that the public were aware of this development but I do acknowledge the work that is on going to deliver effective infection control at Home farm.
I am sure that all in the community will want to offer full support to the residents, their families and all staff at what has been a distressing time for all.

Boris Johnson's resignation is welcome but for Scotland it changes very little – we are still controlled by a broken Westminster system that saw fit to make him Prime Minister in the first place.
Whoever replaces him, Scotland will still be saddled with a Tory government we didn't vote for imposing Brexit, austerity cuts and damaging policies against Scotland's will.
And with all the Westminster parties fully signed up to a hard Brexit, it is clear a change of government alone cannot provide the real change that Scotland needs.

I am aware of the concerns of residents, their families and all staff members at Budhmor care home as to the future of the home, with Crossreach indicating they are not prepared to keep the care home open beyond the end of July.
To put it mildly I am not at all impressed that whilst NHS Highland amongst others are engaged in a desire to determine whether Budhmor can be maintained as a care home that Crossreach are behaving in such a manner.
I am determined to make sure we have appropriate provision of care beds on the Island of Skye. Put simply the closure of Budhmor without an alternative plan for sufficient capacity would not be acceptable.

Boris Johnson's position is now completely untenable.

The Prime Minister is guilty of breaking lockdown rules and misleading parliament. He must resign - or be removed from office.
The Sue Gray report is utterly damning. It has provided the final nail in the coffin against Boris Johnson's false claims that he would be exonerated.

Instead, it has provided conclusive evidence that rule-breaking events did happen and should never have taken place.
It's clear the Prime Minister knew about events, attended them, and lied to Parliament.

Misleading Parliament is a resignation matter in itself - but just as important is the fact that the Prime Minister and his Downing Street team were breaking the rules that they had imposed.

The Sue Gray report must be published in full and undoctored without further delay.

This UK government farce has gone on long enough. People are understandably concerned that this increasingly looks like a cover-up.
It is a fact that Boris Johnson broke the rules, lied about it, and misled parliament.

This is an extremely serious resignation matter - and he must be held to account.
The Prime Minister cannot be allowed to wriggle off the hook by using the Metropolitan Police investigation as an excuse to further delay or doctor the report.

I have written to the Prime Minister @BorisJohnson post the allegations made against Simon Case the permanent secretary.
"I write in reference to the serious allegations that have emerged in relation to two parties hosted at the Cabinet Secretary’s office last December, at which the Cabinet Secretary was present.
As you are aware the Cabinet Secretary is due to report on his investigations into parties at Downing Street in the coming days and it is clear that this process has been fundamentally and fatally undermined.

The UK government's proposed scheme doesn't go anywhere near far or fast enough to protect vulnerable Afghan refugees - including women and children, and all those who are seeing their human rights and lives at threat under the Taliban regime #Afghanistan
The UK government shares responsibility for this major foreign policy disaster, which has seen millions of Afghans displaced and living in fear of what will happen next #Afghanistan
It needs to be far more ambitious, generous and swift to help the Afghan citizens that it has abandoned and left at serious risk of persecution and death. #Afghanistan
