In keeping with our aim to provide, as often as we can, a full recording of First Minister's Questions, we have uploaded the latest session.

Many people are unable to navigate both the Scottish Parliament's own recordings and BBC Scotland’s online recording of the event, and thus Newsnet Scotland believes that by publishing here we make the event accessible to a much wider audience than would otherwise be the case.

The video below will allow viewers to form their own judgement on the exchanges.

I am (more than) happy that Alec has ceased "gently reminding" the opposition party members when responding to mis-statements from them.

Watched FMQs live, and was once again flabbergasted at the hypocrisy and stupidity of la Lament.
How could she run with snatches of the Irish minister's comments when the minister in question had already made it known that the BBC misconstrued her comments! Lament cannot have been unaware of it. I, online in a foreign country, knew that Ms Creighton's comments were cut, sliced and twisted by the BBC to fit their unionist agenda. Yet la Lament chose to take the BBC "report" as "truth".

JL in her stupidity gave AS a prime opportunity to address the BBC bias. AS did it quite gently. In my opinion he should've been a bit more explicit and firm. It’s bad for democracy if parties start self-cencoring because of hostile press.

Banged my head against the wall when la Lamentable praised BBC Scotland, The Scotsman and The Herald for their unbiased, balanced reporting. AAARGH!

Labour in Scotland is nothing but lies, spin and more lies.

Thanks Newsnet. This is a useful service in drawing attention to finding out what is going on elsewhere too. Eg Alyn Smith's initiative on the EU negotiation process.

As to this PMQs, I strongly recommend reading Frankly's link. And if its your first visit to Frankly's site, find time to browse the astute handling of the linked developing issues from our back story.

[Frankly: hope the fishing is going well and that you'll continue to catch whoppers!]
