Nothing to do with those Scots coming back from holiday and not strictly quarantining; those going to the pub and forgetting to social distance after a few drinks; and the general breakdown in social distancing because we feel invincible with our face coverings on...

If these reports are accurate, people with COVID-19 were knowingly moved into care homes, putting other residents and staff at risk.

Tragically, almost 2000 care home residents have died from the virus.

Ministers must account for these policy decisions and the consequences.

I hope Scotland’s young people remember that when the SNP Government downgraded their exam results because of where they live, SNP politicians did not speak up for them but did speak up to save a politician’s career
