#FMQS The weekly joust of political leaders in Holyrood saw First Minister Nicola Sturgeon pressed by Ruth Davidson on the SNP’S Named Person policy, and Alex Rowley of Labour raising the matter of a vote on raising income tax. @Murdo_fraser wrote: “Good to see @Ruthdavidsonmsp at #FMQS raising the hated & discredited SNP Named Person policy. Another shambles from an incompetent Govt.” @Rossarmour346 added: “The cheek of Nicola Sturgeon to attack Anas Sarwar today after she & the SNP abstained on increasing tax for millionaires.” @Murdo63 wondered: “Surely Alex Rowley Tee’d up @Nicolasturgeon on @ Anassarwar taunt on purpose, you’d have to be extremely Naïve to think otherwise.” @Fatbadger442 noted: “Davidson is utterly hopeless. She can’t even land a proper blow over the appalling Named Person policy. This is opportunism only. #WORLD ALZHEIMERS DAY Charities, politicians, and members of the publicly got behind the annual day to raise awareness and funding to help those suffering from degenerative brain conditions like Alzheimer’s Disease and Dementia. @Victoriafinan wrote: “I’m living with the pain and grief of watching and losing a loved one through dementia. It is so important to mark #Worldalzheimersday.” @Dementiafriends tweeted: “Great to see #Worldalzheimersday trending. United together we can help support the many people living with dementia across our communities.” @Elsvhonsebrouck added: “They may not be able to remember who we are, but they feel and need our love just the same. #Worldalzheimersday.” @Alzheimersstep advised: “It’s a terrible disease, but there’s a lot of good left in life. You’ve got to learn to adjust to their world.” #ANDREWARD World champion boxer Andre Ward, reckoned by many to be the best pound-for-pound figthter in the world, shocked sports fans by abruptly announcing his retirement from the sport. . @Curtishwoodhous8 surmised: “Shame Andre Ward didn’t throw tables and chairs around in press conferences or he would have gone down as a true great. Happy retirement champ.” @Sportaphile added: “Andre Ward is a first ballot hall of famer and an all around great dude. Happy to see him go out on top.”
