I questioned these answers at the time-now it seems others did too.
Following this Committee session officials at Qualifications Scotland drafted a letter to me as Convener to apologise and correct matters.
It was never sent after the ‘Director of Strategy’ blocked its release.
For decades, STV North has told the stories that matter to people across Aberdeen and the North East and held governments to account.
The loss of a dedicated north news programme is a real blow to our region and risks leaving local voices with less chance to be heard.
Surprised that no Q’s on Peter Murrell were selected today.
I wanted to ask the FM whether he could guarantee that Dorothy Bain’s successor as Lord Advocate will have had no involvement in Operation Branchform.
If Holyrood will not hold an inquiry then Westminster should.
Holyrood’s new Presiding Officer refused to take any questions on the Peter Murrell affair at the first session of the revamped First Minister’s Questions 👇
Don't be fooled by the SNP - just like Labour they're against North Sea drilling.
Vote for oil and gas champion @DLumsden_MSP in Aberdeen South on June 18.
Only Douglas Lumsden can beat the SNP, and fight for Britain’s North Sea Oil & Gas Industry.
Meet @DLumsden_MSP, our Conservative candidate for the Aberdeen South by-election ⬇️
EXC
SNP funds embezzled by Peter Murrell included taxpayer money
Sturgeon ex-husband had access to £2.2m+ over 12 years from grants from the UK-wide Electoral Commission
Means bags, cars & jewellery and could have been bought with money from taxpayers, not just members
@CraigWHoy1 spot on! if the Greens believe in democracy, why didn’t they stand in all constituencies at the election?!
The Scottish Greens- SNP’s little helpers
For a speech meant to relaunch the independence campaign, that was an incredibly downbeat and uninspiring speech from @JohnSwinney. Clearly he sees the absurdity of doing this against the backdrop of yesterday’s shocking revelations and the fitness of the SNP for power.
Listening to John Swinney regurgitate the SNP manifesto - uninterrupted-demonstrates why this SNP Gov is knackered
He claims this is a new Parliament -but it’s the same, old SNP faces on the front bench.With the same, stale ideas
What on earth have they been up to for 20 years?
Only the Scottish Conservatives can beat the SNP in Aberdeen South. Other parties just aren’t strong enough locally.
On 18th June, vote for @DLumsden_MSP to beat the SNP and back our North Sea oil and gas industry.
John Swinney is STILL dragging his heels on implementing the Supreme Court's ruling on single-sex spaces.
Even the UK Government has released guidance now. What's stopping him?
Labour energy policy:
❌ Weaken UK by shutting down North Sea (causing massive Scottish job losses).
❌ Strengthen Putin by relaxing oil sanctions (bankrolling the war on Ukraine).
You can STOP this madness. Join us to fight back 👊👇

Women should not be an afterthought or treated as an “error” on the Scottish Parliament website.
More importantly, the response from the Presiding Officer still fails to clearly explain why “female” was removed as a category in the first place, and makes no reference of women.
Good to see both Conservative and Labour MSPs challenging the Scottish Parliament over the removal of the data on the sex of MSPs. Thank you @CMochan@Rachael2Win and @MeghanSCUP
A damning assessment of John Swinney's plan to cap food prices in supermarkets.
The Scottish Retail Consortium: "Everyone in the food supply chain looks at this and goes, this is at best a gimmick, and at worst it'll have a pretty damaging impact on our food supply chain"
John Swinney is back as First Minister - so what's the first thing he's going to do?
Stage a parliamentary vote demanding an unwanted independence referendum.
Same old Mr Swinney. Party before country, as usual.
My colleague @MeghanSCUP and I have written to the Presiding Officer of the Scottish Parliament to ask why females as a category of elected representatives have been removed from the parliamentary website.
