Hi @John2Win, are you a man of your word? What's changed?
Hi @AndrewBowie_MP, you signed a letter in 2018 saying that you "could not support an agreement with the EU that would prevent the UK from independently negotiating access and quota shares" and suggested it would be a “betrayal of Scotland”. What's changed?
Hi @Douglas4Moray, previously you said you'd rather drink a "pint of cold sick" than vote for a deal that gave EU vessels access for two years. The deal gives them 5 years and potentially more. Shall I prepare a pint for you?
Hi @RuthDavidsonMSP, it was reported that you would "resign" if there were different arrangements for Northern Ireland. Well, guess what, it looks like that is happening. It might be worth asking them to cancel your ermine order?
Hi @BorisJohnson, you previously stated at #PMQs in January that there is 'no threat to the Erasmus scheme', in an untypical outbreak of coherence. Is there any other word that you can mutter to describe your statement other than calling it a 'lie'?
Hi @david_duguid, you stated that access to waters should not be tied to an EU trade agreement and suggested it was a “red line” issue for you and @ScotSecofState, but a trade agreement has been made that has fisheries and access to waters at its very heart. What’s changed?

The wall to wall coverage of Coronavirus is giving me flashbacks to the time I woke up with an extremely blinding and piercing headache.
I rarely get ill, but I knew there was something seriously wrong, so a family member took me to hospital in north Edinburgh straight away.

After some initial checks by a doctor, they sent me to a quarantined bed in a private room for further tests and treatment.
I then drifted in and out of conciousness for the next week.

I remember asking a nurse to turn the heating down, not realising that it was my body which was at a dangerously high 39 °C.

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 @JennyLConstable, who voted No in 2014, eloquently explains why she would vote for independence in a future referendum on Scotland’s future.

- Scotland being told that voting No in #IndyRef would mean remaining in EU.

- Scotland’s remain vote being ignored after #EUref.
In my view, one of the best things about 2014 was the many new articulate voices that came to the fore during #IndyRef. Each person that makes there voice heard gives others the confidence to do the same.
Those who already have a significant platform can help by sharing it with others. There’s a new generation waiting to be heard.

📈 Not only have @theSNP been consistent in their position on Brexit, its been a steady hand navigating the Scottish economy through rolling seas of Brexit. This can often be lost in the heat of the Brexit debate.

📰 Here's some of today's good news.

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 With the front page of today's @ScotNational in mind, by sheer coincidence, I bought a book last week called 'Addresses Against Incorporating Union 1706-1707'. The book cover.
Apparently, Glasgow was divided on the Union and it 'stimulated unusual levels of protest'. It also states that 'strong anti-union sentiment' was found amongst Glasgow artisans.
The artisans demonstrated literacy and political engagement by attaching papers reading 'No incorporating union' to their hats.
