#FMQS
Nicola Sturgeon was slammed at FMQS over the SNP’S education record. @Sandpatterson tweeted: “There would be more money for education if councils weren’t having to pay interest on Labour’s toxic PPI contracts.” @rmac113 posted: “The good ship Sturgeon is sinking fast... She will soon be forever lost in the deep with only a floundering old Salmond for company.” @chris_scotsman wrote: “Laughter in the chamber when Nicola Sturgeon says ‘education is my top priority’.” @davidtorrance said: “Amid all the noise at FMQS the FM still hasn’t said whether full EU membership will form part of SNP GE2017 manifesto, which is kinda key.” @Alanroden observed: “Brilliant acting from Nicola Sturgeon, who kept a straight face when claiming education is her number one priority. Oscar worthy.”
#MUGWUMP
Boris Johnson made headlines after calling Jeremy Corbyn a ‘mugwump.’ @Willblackwriter posted: “Boris, having droned on about parliamentary sovereignty for years, wanting to attack Syria without a vote is more troubling than mugwump.” @cpeedell tweeted: “Well done, Boris. As our country lurches from one crisis to the next, the main news item today is mugwump. Master politician.” @Davidheadviews opined: “Boris Johnson needs a dictionary. Mugwump = a person who remains aloof or independent, especially from party politics. So much for Eton!” @vulp_es said: “Being called names by Bumbling Boris Johnson - almost a badge of honour! The nasty Conservative Party’s problem child!”
#ZACGOLDSMITH
Former Tory MP Zac Goldsmith is set to run in the seat where he was defeated by the Lib Dems in a by-election last year. @Rosamundurwin “Lucky voters of Richmond: you can now reject Zac Goldsmith three times in 13 months.” @Tonywauk “I’m so pleased to have the opportunity of not voting for Zac Goldsmith again.” @ashcowburn “Zac Goldsmith is standing for Tories again in Richmond after resigning from the party over its Heathrow position, which hasn’t changed.”
