Need to know: Team Nicola v Team Ruth

A welter of analysis has followed last Thursday’s Scottish parliament elections, much of it focussing on Scottish Conservatives leader Ruth Davidson who has now appeared on the radar of the press in England with a vengeance. But here, in two quotes, both from yesterday's BBC Sunday Politics Scotland, is all you need to know about how the new constitutional divide now stands:

“We managed to stop them having a majority, they slipped back: peak Nat has passed."

"It's a ridiculous notion to say that because the Conservatives managed to get scarcely over 20% of the vote that somehow the case for independence has taken a step back - the contrary is the case.”

One comes from FM Nicola Sturgeon (above, with her MSPs), the other from Ruth Davidson. We’d like to offer prizes for who said what, but that would be far too easy...

"We look forward to working with whoever the next president is, whoever she may be.”

Chancellor George Osborne appears less than impartial when discussing the US presidential election. ITV's Peston On Sunday.

“Sitting behind a desk (sporting an open-necked shirt – naturally – and that lank haircut beloved of arts undergraduates), Peston looked uncomfortable as he whizzed through the show’s topics while evoking the false bonhomie of a warm-up act. When he referred to Ruth Davidson as a ‘gay, socially liberal Mrs Thatcher’ he looked as if he was expecting whoops and cheers from the gallery.”

“Trump has graciously said that he's willing to consider some of his previous Republican rivals [for vice president], as long as they don't remember any of the things he said about them. So we might be looking at the ticket of ‘Trump/Liar ’16,' ‘Trump/Low Energy ’16,' ‘Trump/A Face Like That ’16,' and ‘Trump/Lil’ Sweaty Guy ’16.' All winning tickets.”
