.@Ianblackford_MP: "Over the past 20 years, Westminster has imposed an extreme Brexit, an illegal war in Iraq, £9,000 Tuition Fees, the windrush scandal, the rape clause, the bedroom tax and a decade of Tory austerity cuts which have all pushed millions into poverty." #PMQs
.@Ianblackford_MP: "At the same time, the @ScotParl has delivered free prescriptions, free tuition fees, free personal care, free bus travel, the Baby Box, the Scottish Child Payment and world-leading climate action, which have made Scotland a fairer place to live." #PMQs
.@Ianblackford_MP: "Does the Prime Minister understand why the people in Scotland think that it is him and his parliament that are the real disaster?" #PMQs
.@Ianblackford_MP: "No apology and no regrets from this Prime Minister. His attack on devolution wasn’t just a slip of tongue – it was a slip of the Tory mask." #PMQs
.@Ianblackford_MP: "The chasm between Westminster and the Scottish people has never been bigger. We know these aren’t just flippant remarks, when Scotland faces the biggest threat to devolution with the Tory Power Grab Bill." #PMQs
.@Ianblackford_MP: "The fact is Scotland has been completely ignored by Westminster - we now face an extreme Brexit, a power grab, and another round of Tory cuts all being imposed against our will by a Tory government we didn’t vote for." #PMQs
.@Ianblackford_MP: "The real disaster facing the people of Scotland is another 20 years of Westminster government.

Isn’t it clearer than ever, that the only way to protect Scotland’s interests, our Parliament and our place in Europe, is to become an independent country?" #PMQs

First Minister @NicolaSturgeon: "Good afternoon, thanks for joining us. I'll start with the statistics for today as usual, first of all. The total number of positive cases reported yesterday was 717."
NS: " That represents 8.3% of the total number of tests carried out, and means the total number of confirmed cases is now 82,011."
NS: "I should say, although we often see a slightly lower number of new cases reported after a weekend, today's figure is nevertheless lower than we would've expected it to be - so we are looking to see whether there are any other reasons that might be the cause of that."
