    So Humza Yousaf had a grievance with a nursery and instead of taking it up with them went to the papers. Now he has a grievance with the Indian community who he accuses of going public instead of taking it up with him. They prove they tried to speak to him and he did not respond.

    An open question to @BBCScotlandNews and to @STVNews . Are you prepared to subject Nicola Sturgeon to the same level of scrutiny as Boris Johnson and if not, why not?

    Isn't it wonderful how when it suited Ms Sturgeon the Daily Sturgeon Show was essential to the people of Scotland and she was never off our screens. Now the Health Service is clearly in crisis and no one from the SNP is available to speak to the BBC.

    I voted remain in the EU referendum because I thought on balance the disruption which would be caused by Brexit would be horrendous. Now that we are out I would NOT vote to rejoin. Any assumption by Sturgeon that those who voted remain would want to rejoin is invalid.

    Not a fan of Douglas Ross but anyone paying attention will have seen this coming . In equal measure to how she fawned over Sturgeon and protects Swinney @POScotParl treats Ross with utter disdain. Impartial she is not, a disgrace to her office.

    It is an insult to every soldier, naval person and airforce person whether old and having served in WW2 or young and having served their country in more recent times that the FM of Scotland has banned the flying of the flag they served under for all but one day in the year.

    Maggie Chapman today with her statements confirms what many have believed to be the case for quite some time. She is clearly unfit to be an MSP.

    This is a resignation matter. 'Don't go to A&E but call NHS 24', he said and nearly a quarter of a million calls went unanswered. Running a bath is about his level, but he could not even do that! heraldscotland.com/news/homenews/…

    So Michael Matheson a keen Celtic supporter didn't watch the matches though his sons in the same house did. They were so restrained that he didn't hear them, get the score from them, know they were watching. Story beggars belief. The SNP take the People of Scotland for fools.

    Truss asked me how to get in to Vogue - Sturgeon It is an unwritten convention that private conversations between individuals remain private. Not for the first time Sturgeon shows that however low the bar is set she can go lower.

    Just one small point. The SNP and Sturgeon have had 14 years to do all the things she will now promise. Education, health, policing, social services, child poverty and drugs have all got worse. Her words mean absolutely nothing. She is only interested in Nicola Sturgeon.

    Ms Sturgeon today at her Covid briefing specifically cast the election in terms of 'people wanting her to continue leading them through the Covid crisis'. How low does she have to go before the BBC @BBCScotland recognise the Daily Sturgeon Show is a Party Political Broadcast?

    It's maybe a bit cynical but I think the SNP have moved to the burnt earth phase. They know they are not going to be in power and so they are making things as bad as they possibly can for whomsoever takes their place. Is there a better explanation for their utter stupidity?
