#FMQS

First Minister Nicola Sturgeon faced tough questions on education from the opposition at FMQS yesterday. @Alanroden tweeted: “Nicola Sturgeon said education would be her defining priority. So why is her government failing a whole generation of children?” @Eddiebarnes23 observed: “For FM to say we have to wait for her recent reforms to bed in is an admission the SNP has been asleep at the wheel for 10 years.” @jamiegreeneuk opined: “A wasted ten years of SNP in charge of Scottish Education. Attainment fund is too little too late.” @Cllrsmccabe piped up: “Nicola Sturgeon at FMQS perpetrating myth that Council Tax is frozen in Inverclyde. 7,000 families will pay up to 22.5% more from 1 April.”

#RUPERTMURDOCH

The Financial Times revealed that Rupert Murdoch was in the room when Michael Gove interviewed Donald Trump for The Times. @andrewcellery posted: “Imagine being in a room with Michael Gove, Donald Trump and Rupert Murdoch.” @rickburin noted: “Pretty desperate that radical populism is now a far-right experiment complete with Rupert Murdoch sitting in the corner.” @Parveen_comms noted: “Not surprised that Rupert Murdoch sat in on Gove interviewing Trump. Gove is just a puppet/muppet with Murdoch pulling his strings.” @Leftfootfwd tweeted: “Rupert Murdoch sat in on Michael Gove’s Trump interview, but the Times didn’t think to mention it.”

#BUYIVANKASSTUFF

Trump adviser Kellyanne Conway may have violated ethics codes when she encouraged Fox News viewers to buy Ivanka Trump’s products.” @Credit4bigsalad observed: “‘Go Buy Ivanka’s Stuff.’ If the Obamas had used the presidency to peddle their Chinese products the GOP would’ve lost their minds.” @Felib1013 noted: “Louisiana endured tornadoes, Flint still doesn’t have clean water. The government’s concern? ‘Go buy Ivanka’s stuff ’.” @Starvingwriter_ posted: “I hate to say I told you so. ‘Go Buy Ivanka’s Stuff?’ Right... because what’s the point of being president if you can’t cash in?”
