Scotland makes history by appointing its first openly LGBTQ+ Deputy First Minister

On Tuesday, the #ScottishParliament elected #JohnSwinney as #FirstMinisterOfScotland.
That's the 5th successive term with an #SNP First Minister.
And it's 23 years since the last election of a #ScottishLabour First Minister: Jack McConnell in 2003.
Labour dominated Scotland for 50 years. When Holyrood was established, Labour was the natural party of government.
Now electing a Labour FM is a fading memory, held by people with greying hair. Labour's colour is turning to sepia.

“Not ambition for gold, or power, or land or all the things that were familiar parts of the human world. Just ambition to be yourself, as big as possible. Not ambition for, but to be.”

And #ScotFM #JohnSwinney:
“#Scotland voted decisively to remain in the EU in 2016. #Brexit has severely damaged Scotland and the wider UK’s economy and society. It has restricted #FreedomOfMovement, reduced opportunities for cultural exchange, harmed trade. Our position is clear: Scotland’s interests are best served by #RejoinEU as an independent member state. In the interim, we support rebuilding the deepest and most ambitious partnership possible with the EU.”
