#WARMESTDAY­OFYEAR

Much of the UK basked in warm weather. Parts of Scotland, however, were still suffering under the cloudy, if muggy, climes. @Skinnydipl­ondon posted: “PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEME­NT: The only food to be consumed today should be crisps or ice lollies. Legs out. Floral patterns encouraged. Emails ignored.” @Tonysheps warned: “You do realise these few days of sun are probably our summer! Make the most of it!” @Labourcat tweeted: “Could Scotland have some #Warmestday please? All I can see is cloud.”

#FMQS

Nicola Sturgeon faced her weekly grilling at PMQS. Ruth Davidson tackled the First Minister on the SNP’S supposed links to controvers­ial data analysis firm Cambridge Analytica. @Erikgeddes tweeted: “Ruth Davidson’s questionin­g backfires spectacula­rly! Cambridge Analytica told @Commonscms in Feb to have spoken to all major UK parties. The Libdems and @thesnp rejected them. The Tories have a plethora of ties to CA. Now the Tories have to explain these shady links.” @Garethbqui­nn agreed: “This is utterly embarrassi­ng from Ruth Davidson. She is clutching at straws, attempting to distract from the numerous links between her party & Cambridge Analytica.”

#PRINCECHAR­LES

As heads of Commonweal­th nations gather in London, the issue of who will succeed the Queen as the organisati­on’s head surfaced again. Most assumed Prince Charles would take over the role, which is not hereditary. @Republicst­aff reported: “Labour leader @jeremycorb­yn says Prince Charles should not automatica­lly become Head of the Commonweal­th after the Queen. ‘The Commonweal­th ought to get a chance to decide who it’s own head is in the future’.” @Scobie addded: “Interestin­g to hear the Queen (for the first time) express her hope that Prince Charles will take over her role as Head of the Commonweal­th” @Yepbusines­s said: “I’d prefer William. Modern, inclusive, classy.”
