Holyrood leaders join up to cheer on Andy Murray
SCOTLAND’S three main party leaders appeared to be putting politics aside today to give their support to tennis champion Andy Murray as he played in the semi-final of the Australian Open.
Tory Ruth Davidson was first to flag up her preference for watching the tennis instead of getting ready for First Minister’s Questions by tweeting: “Hmm... FMQ prep Vs tennis.... #comeonandy”
First Minister Nicola Sturgeon responded: “@RuthDavidsonMSP I’m sure we could come to some arrangement - @kdugdalemsp?”
Ms Davidson tweeted back to say “Ok, I’ll bring the snack - let’s use your office. Kez, you in?”
Labour’s Kezia Dugdale replied to the other two: “Yes, there in a minute, looking for the Pimms.”
