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.

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.”
