"Reform won't engage further in these pointless proceedings. We didn't come into this parliament to waste our time on vanity projects." Malcolm Offord MSP and Reform MSPs walk out of the chamber during a debate on Scottish independence.

SNP MSP George Adam says independent analysis of England's Pisa scores suggests they are "inflated" due to dropout rates among "lower-attaining schools". He says comparing the education systems of England and Scotland is like comparing "apples with oranges".

Police Scotland Chief Constable Jo Farrell: "A man who rapes or attempts to rape a woman, girl or other victim is, should be, and will be recorded by Police Scotland as a male." "Let me be clear - my priority is to protect victims."

Lib Dem leader Alex Cole-Hamilton🔶🇺🇦 raises transport secretary Stephen Flynn's "clueless" performance at the transport committee. "We've all heard the rumours that the First Minister gave Mr Flynn this job to set him up to fail. Did he really expect it to happen so soon?" #FMQs
