Restricting journalists at Holyrood to a designated pen is ridiculous, unnecessary and was made without any proper consultation.
Journalists have a duty to question elected representatives and the people of Scotland deserve to hear their answers.

If you were to write this headline or article in a variety of US, UK, German or French media outlets, your career might be on the line and you’d probably be accused of antisemitism.
And yet the author of this piece is a former prime minister for Israel.

Two things @AndyBurnhamGM should do straightaway if and when he becomes prime minister
1. Drop plans to limit jury trials
2. Deproscribe Palestine Action
Great🧵on @ForWomenScot court win for the safety & dignity of women prisoners. “That Scottish Ministers defended this sexist & regressive policy for so long, and even went to court to do so, leaves a permanent stain on the reputation of every individual politician involved.” 👏
The genesis of the unlawful policy that put violent male prisoners in with vulnerable female prisoners lies with the Equality Network’s cynical strategy outlined below. As they are handsomely funded by the Scottish government this definitely merits further investigation.
What on earth is going on at the Scottish Parliament? Transparency & scrutiny are vital not an inconvenience for politicians which can be brushed aside. If they don’t like it, perhaps they’re not suited to working in a democracy? This is completely unacceptable behaviour.
There is now clear evidence that the Great Israeli Real Estate event had unlawful activity at it.
I've written to the Mayor of London to ask what he intends to do about it.
This needs to be escalated immediately.
In this afternoon's debate about the Gov relationship with charities, @RealStephenKerr raised the issue of almost wholly-funded lobby groups which pose as charities to help push Gov agenda.
He mentioned @DSanderson_85 report & comments by @AlexNeilSNP
Gov benches not happy!
Yes, the BBC has to live within its means but if being a public service broadcaster is central to its mission The World Tonight is not the programme to cut. It takes a world view & intelligently & has been a nightly briefing for people like me since I discovered it at university.
