EXCL: Nicola Sturgeon refused to comment and sat in silence for hours during her police interview - despite publicly claiming to be "cooperating fully" with cops
BREAKING: MP Margaret Ferrier arrested and charged with culpable and reckless conduct over her journey between Scotland and the Commons after taking Covid test
As No10 went into meltdown today, SNP has been busy behind the scenes... threatening the victim (a party staffer) of sex pest MP Patrick Grady with misconduct action & having his work email account locked after he sent an email to MPs/staff criticising SNP response to the scandal
Daughter, 5, took Star Wars lunch box/water bottle to school. Came home crushed, saying she ended up hiding them as boys in her P1 class said Star Wars is for boys, not girls. Not schools' fault, but it's 2020 and fighting gender stereotyping needs pushed up agenda, @JohnSwinney
Mar 1: Sturgeon invited to Scottish Affairs Committee
Mar 14: "Unfortunately, I will be unable to take up your invitation as my diary is full over my final two weeks in office, as I focus on ensuring a smooth transition."

In defence of Margaret Ferrier, an SNP source tells me: "Thing with Margaret is there will have been no malice to it... she's just really hard of thinking."
Scotland's Health Secretary Jeane Freeman: “If I'm perfectly frank, I have no idea what 'Stay Alert' actually means." She says Scot Gov were not consulted and public could be confused by new slogan. She adds: "Stay At Home is the right message."

SNP HQ put pressure on media who looked at following @HRwritesnews story re sexual misconduct allegations against SNP council leader Jordan Linden
Today he's quit and admitted wrongdoing
As previously, SNP's first instinct is to kill story, rather than focus on wrongdoer
EXCL: Police requested search warrant for Nicola Sturgeon’s home and SNP HQ a week before end of SNP leadership race - but only got nod from Crown Office a week after the contest ended
Absolutely insane it's come to this....
Open letter on behalf of 2 of the 3 candidates bidding to replace Nicola Sturgeon, demanding to know number of SNP members in electorate
SNP HQ keeping details secret - leading to fears of vote rigging
What on earth is SNP HQ thinking?
