FIRST Minister John Swinney has named his new Scottish Cabinet ...
Swinney will lead a minority SNP government and familiar faces from the party, including likely future leadership contenders such as Kate Forbes and Mairi McAllan, were seen entering Bute House on Wednesday afternoon.In all there are eleven members of the Cabinet, which is majority female.
“With that in mind, I have selected a Cabinet team that blends experience and energy, with a strong focus on the priorities my Government will pursue – eradicating child poverty, driving economic growth, meeting climate obligations and investing in our vital public services." "My Cabinet will also focus efforts on reaching out to those who remain unconvinced, with respect and courtesy, to ensure that the people of Scotland have the democratic right to choose their own future.”The Scottish Conservatives said Swinney's Cabinet was"simply Humza Yousaf’s Cabinet with a different figurehead".
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
