Mackay demand

Former finance minister Derek Mackay must give evidence to MSPS on his involvement in the decision to award the construction of two island ferries to Ferguson Marine in 2015, opposition parties have said.

If opponents insist on this, surely Sturgeon must allow it as she says buck stops with her. If she didn't know what Mackay was at and his reasoning, now is the time to let the cat out the bag. Just hope a superinjunction has not already been taken out.

Nel Greig

He'll have a memory lapse, just like Sturgeon. They really take Scots for fools.

Christine Mclevy

Cue much scrabbling around at SNP HQ. “Get Mackay to use the Sturgeon Defence” “Whit’s that then Mr Murrell?” “Answer only with the following phrases: Ah dinnae ken; Don’t have the answer to that right now; Have to get back to you on that; I have no knowledge of that; Ah really dinnae ken.”

Gordon Devlin

H e has two choices. He can either say nothing and take the blame from his old boss – or start singing like a canary and blame her for this fiasco.

Ally Bell

As long as Sturgeon doesn't pick the committee.

Henry Mcintosh

Fire up the paper shredder and look for someone to brush it under the bulging carpet.

Simon Darroch

Spill the beans Deek. Here’s a chance to remove Sturgeon.

Douglas James

Public sector consultancy contract offers coming his way soon.

Brian Braddock

“We cannot keep getting useless answers from clueless ministers who take no responsibility for this mess." Just another day in the dysfunctional cess pit that is

this SNP administration.

Paul Holyrood

Nicola is simply trying to brass it out until yet another recess arrives.

Incan Descent

Surely even the gullible don’t believe that Mackay was alone responsible for this fiasco. Teflon- coated Sturgeon really is taking the urine with this latest pronouncement.

Old Man of Hoy

How could anyone believe that a control freak like Sturgeon didn’t know about the ferries decision?

Elizabeth Robertson Full public inquiry is required, nothing less.
