In quite the turnaround Scottish Labour say the support Sandie Peggie, and would not support the GRR bill "knowing what they know now"!

FFS. What is different now? It's not as if they weren't told over and over again what the consequences would be. 🙄

Bare faced cheek

Swinney to face questions at 12 noon. Get the kettle on!

John Swinney is quizzed by opposition party leaders during First Minister's Questions - BBC News

Are the questions pre-vetted? Because the Speaker equivalent (sorry, I should know the term, apologies that I don’t), seems to have been determined to keep relevant questions off the lists since the Peggie trial.

I think the presiding officer (not speaker) was elected as a member of the Scottish Greens, so there you go!

Thank-you got enlightening me as to the correct term! And apologies for using the English term. That figures, she had a face like a smacked arse yesterday when the MSP was quizzing her as to how any and all questions relating to the Peggie tribunal had coincidentally not made the cut, despite their timeliness and the massive public interest.

I think if she disallows questions on it today, she’s going to find it hard to maintain that she’s impartial.

STV say Swinney is likely to face questions about same sex spaces but doesn't give further detail.

Turns on the telly and kettle

Or rather the greens got enough votes on the regional list (6% is enough) to appoint her as an MSP.

Gina Davison from LBC caught up with Sarwar and asked him about an apology to all the women who WARNED about this and who is to blame. Watch here:

NEW: Yesterday Anas Sarwar said he backed Sandie Peggie re her concerns about single sex changing rooms in NHS Fife and if he’d known at the time of the GRR bill what he knows now he would not have had his party vote for it.
@LBC caught up with him today

Guess what he evaded the question and just blamed everything on the SNP. Having Sarwar switching sides is great, but still so much to be done.

I am just catching up and have had my head buried in work.

Are we pretending that the constitutional crisis, whereby Westminster had to step in and over rule Holyrood, never happened?

It’s first question. On now

Swinney behaving as expected....

He is.

He is pursuing it because snp greens and labour are denying it

Swinney’s being a swine as usual. Deflect, deflect, deflect.

Findlay’s speaking very well.

He is. He’s getting straight to the point.

Findlay is very clear

Jeez swinney. Look a squirrel

Swinney full of bombast about what his priorities are. He forgot to mention this: ….By making sure there are peeping Toms and flashers in women’s changing rooms….

Astonishing deflection by Swinney!

Swinney. And health. Omg. The lies

Sarwar disappointing

Watching now. What a fucking weasel!
