#BORISATBUTEHOUSE

New prime minister Boris Johnson arrived at Bute House to meet First Minister Nicola Sturgeon, only to be greeted by jeering protesters.

@HOOP34905723 earlier tweeted: “OK confirmed Boris coming to Holyrood around 2pm before going to Bute House to meet the First Minister. If anyone can get here I could do with some bodies.”

@Mr_mark_brown wrote: “Nicola’s Army have assembled, armed with their flegs, outside Bute House. What a time to be alive.”

@stvewan added: “Not exactly a warm reception from onlookers for the Prime Minister as he arrives at Bute House for talks with the First Minister.”

@rosscolquhoun said: “I’ve never seen a newly elected Prime Minister get booed like Boris Johnson currently is outside Bute House in Scotland.”

@Dantew said: “Well, he said he doesn’t listen to the polls, no choice but to listen to the public there.”

@Fanxxxxtastic-trada reckoned: “The same thing should be happening in the UK.”

@Lanwindowclean cheered: “Plenty boos for Boris at Bute House. Love the way @Nicolasturgeon was trying to get him to stand for some more photos. Well played FM, well played!”

#MARKFIELD

Meanwhile, the new premier scrapped the inquiry into Conservative MP Mark Field for grabbing a female protester.

@j4ysamuel wrote: “He was escorting her from the premises for being belligerent, loud, and preventing a breach of the peace.”

@Gwyglyn disagreed; “These Tories are unbelievable. Sending the message out that it’s OK to assault women, protester or not, is shocking.”

@clerobo: added: “Bloody hell! He manhandled her! She’d been vetted and could not have had a weapon! The man is a bully!”

@Dayveswbird said: “Good on you Boris, loving your work.”

@FGH22GILL added: “No longer any pretense of doing the right thing.”

@annispice tweeted: “From what I saw of the video and I watched in many times ..... there nothing to have an inquiry about ... except how she got into Mansion House.”
