So it's safe to say John Swinney had a rough start at his first FMQs. When they're laughing at you, it's all over- and it's only been 48 hours!

The SNP have decided to scrap their 'Minister for Independence'. A sinecure anyway, since every SNP Minister is the Minister for Independence with every decision needing to relate to it in some way.

This must be watched. The SNP are laughing at us. This is a new low for the SNP and the Scottish Parliament.

This needs to be watched. Shame and shame again on those who allowed the mutilation of children in the name of a toxic ideology.

Finally now these people and their ideas are being exposed.

The SNP’s track record on higher education is woeful.

It’s time they get their priorities straight and start properly funding Scotland’s colleges!

John Swinney bringing back Humza's failed cabinet goes to show two things:

1. He doesn't get that Scotland needs a change
2. The SNP don't have strength in depth to make any changes

All we can do now is vote them out.

With the anti-growth Greens ditched, will the SNP see common-sense and work with the UK Government to keep Grangemouth Oil Refinery open?

Greens abstaining instead of voting for John Swinney to be the next First Minister. A shot across the bows.

The SNP will continue to adopt extremist green policies just to stop them from voting another First Minister out.

He's just another Nationalist.

My Scottish Conservative colleagues and I will keep making effort to bring this issue up in Scotland’s parliament.

This is an outrageous discourtesy and flies in the face of every parliamentary convention.

'What happened in the past should remain there'

Is that a dig at 'second go' Swinney?

Just what Scotland didn't want. But no matter who's in charge, it's all the SNP can offer.

Only one way to stop it- vote them all out.

You have to admire in a way the SNP trying their hardest to project their latest FM change as a good thing, actually.

Dragging John Swinney out of retirement for a second swing as party leader because everyone else ran a mile at the thought of leading a broken party - great!

I cannot stand back and stay quiet whilst the SNP sacrifice Scottish communities and Scotland's beautiful landscapes!

If true, this is the start of a trend for John Swinney. Needing to ramp up Indyref talk just to stop his party splintering.

Note his campaign slogan 'united for Independence'. I don't think I've heard anything from him about how he'll deal with the NHS crisis, education, etc

There must be an immediate inquiry into all the activities of LGBT Youth Scotland given what the Cass review has reported on the damage being done to our children and young people by the indiscriminate dissemination of their ideology.

You wonder what sort of promises John Swinney had to make the man who referred to the previous Indyref strategy as 'flatulence in a trance'.

To keep his shattered party together, Swinney will ramp up Indyref campaigning- at a time when most of Scotland wants to move past it.

3 times! Congratulations Tom 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇬🇧

An SNP activist has challenged the party's cosy consensus around the leader they hoped to coronate as their continuity candidate.

Typically, the SNP high command are furious- they want to be left to power unchallenged.
