TORY MSPs can’t be very busy right now, as one of them seems to have spent the afternoon putting together a nice memory board of the First Minister’s time at COP26.
Russell Findlay, who won a seat in Holyrood after the Scots Conservatives gave him a spot on their West Scotland list, took to Twitter to post his little project on Thursday evening.
“Nicola ‘I haven’t had many selfies’ Sturgeon #COP26”, he wrote.

Unfortunately for Findlay, as many on Twitter were quick to highlight, only one of the 24 images in his collage, at a push, actually appears to be a selfie.
Doubly unfortunately for Findlay, it seems he couldn’t even find enough photos of Nicola Sturgeon to fill his 24-image template.
To cover that up, he just used the first one again in the last slot...
“Tell me you do not have a clue what a selfie is without telling me you do not have a clue what a selfie is. Russell, you go first…”, one user wrote.

“24 images, 1 is potentially a selfie. @RussellFindlay1 you are aware that press/photographers are at these types of events, yes? And you are aware of what a selfie is, yes?" Toby Michaels responded.
“Why are you so bothered anyway? Lol Oh right…’SNPBad’ I forgot. You don't use logic."
But while the Tories are engaged with petty art projects, other users highlighted that the First Minister has been busy.
“Thank u for highlighting what a great job our @ScotGovFM has been doing in raising the profile of our fab nation”, Nuzhat Uthmani wrote.

“Imagine the First Minister of Scotland promoting Scotland on the world stage to a diverse range of delegates,” another user added.
Can you imagine? We suspect Unionists would be furious...
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
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.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
