Sad news indeed. Dave was a great guy and an excellent journalist. A leading member of the press 'pack' from whom I learnt a great deal back in the day. Old School in the best way.

[John Swinney @JohnSwinney]

Very sorry to hear this news. Dave was an outstanding journalist and a very decent man. I always enjoyed engaging with him. My sympathy to his family.

[John Swinney @JohnSwinney]

What a total joy to be at Hampden tonight. Fabulous @ScotlandNT

🗳️ The by-election result has been announced.

The Westminster system made people poorer with austerity and Brexit - and now it’s trying to distract from those failures by scapegoating people who have been through unimaginable hardship.

It is pathetic, it is cowardly and I will have no part in it.

Wheely good news! The specialist BMX track at Langfaulds Park in Bearsden has had a fantastic upgrade ahead of the summer holidays.

Resurfacing works on the track are now complete and the improvements will ensure many more years of bunny hopping, spinning and jumping 🚲

@MrJohnNicolson @JohnSwinney I don't suppose it would make a blind bit of difference to any of them that Jack McConnell attended JP2's funeral

[Covid-19 Bereaved Families for Justice UK @CovidJusticeUK]

Today, @covidinquiryuk heard that the government instructed PPE suppliers to prioritise English NHS settings over Scotland.

Just as shocking, the government withdrew embassy support from Scottish government officials negotiating PPE deals in foreign countries.

[John Swinney @JohnSwinney]

Well done everyone @SNPforGlasgow on two spectacular wins.

[Angus Robertson @AngusRobertson]

Former Scottish Labour MSP Neil Findlay has resigned from the party. Wonder what Anas Sarwar will do to stand up against the savage Westminster Labour austerity cuts to the sick and disabled?

[John Swinney @JohnSwinney]

Today's events in Washington are a clear cause for deep concern, for shock, for anger. What we need now are cool heads and clear thinking. We must stand firm with our European allies in the steadfast defence of Ukraine. That is where Scotland stands.🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇺🇦

Out campaigning in Bearsden & Milngavie today with @MarieAMcNair and others #ActiveSNP

This needs a wider audience @AnasSarwar will love it if everyone keeps retweeting it

Talk about selling your soul

[The SNP @theSNP]

Labour's Anas Sarwar says he’s open to working with Nigel Farage’s Reform UK ‘on a case-by-case basis' to become First Minister of Scotland.

Vote Sarwar, get Farage.

[Anne @annewitha_e]

@BrianLeishmanMP you've made this a huge personal battle with your own party in London. When Grangemouth closes as a refinery, you will now have to resign and run a by-election. If you are an honourable man, that's the only thing you can do.

@sweenyness Another reason for patronymics and nicknames merits a mention - registrars not accepting Gaelic names. Hence, my Seanair Iain and his brother Seonaidh both going in the book as John Smith.

📢 We’ve spent £1.2 BILLION over the last 14 years mitigating Westminster cuts.

❌ Broken Britain is holding Scotland back but with the full powers of an independent nation we can change Scotland’s course.

🤝 We will always fight for that future.
