    FFS... anyone considering “escaping” coronavirus on Scottish islands should stop and look at their right hand. You have more fingers there than there are ventilators in the Outer Hebrides. You’re not going to outrun this thing, neither are islands immune
    Escape coronavirus chaos with a job on this remote Scottish island

    SNP MP @StewartMcDonald points out to Dominic Raab that all military leave was cancelled on 23rd July: "Many would think if all military leave was cancelled, it was a bad idea for yourself the prime minister, and several other officials to take breaks at that time. "

    A police officer fainted behind the PM as he rambled on about Brexit. The letters falling off May's conference backdrop had nothing on this.

    Resign call from @Ianblackford_MP as he accuses Boris Johnson of partygate "drinking and debauchery" that shames those who abided by the rules. "He apologised for one reason - he got caught," says Blackford at PMQs.

    Hearing @NicolaSturgeon gatecrashed the meeting of the Tory ERG group just now. She was passing by, asked if it was the venue, stuck her head around the door of their meeting and they all cheered. She has more fun in Westminster than we do.

    Speaking about Nicola Sturgeon @Douglas4Moray doesn't hold back: "The evidence is building that she has lied and misled the Scottish parliament, and that for me is clearly a resigning matter."

    At PMQs @Ianblackford_MP calls on Boris Johnson to appear under oath at a public inquiry before a general election to answer claims that he would rather let over-80s die than go into a second lockdown.
