[Nicola Sturgeon @NicolaSturgeon]

Strangely different to his view on Cath Calderwood. Leadership is saying/doing the right thing even when it’s tough for you - not just calling for it when it’s tough for your opponent.

@Conservatives @KFC_UKI Embarrassing. Even if you're unable to govern the country, demonstrate some dignity at least.

[Chris Stark @StarkClimate]

Quite a package of things announced today by the @scotgov. Eye catching transport package, also new green finance commitments and some further increase in the ambition to decarbonise Scottish buildings. These look like meaningful steps.

Excellent panel on physical risks from #climatechange at #EconClimateRisk. Important point by Alice Hill: businesses focus too much on their assets when adapting to #climate risks and not enough on the underlying infrastructure / services they depend on (access to transport etc)
