A final bit from me, I hope, on @thetimesscot story that Scotland was being discriminated against in favour of England on #coronavirus PPE supplies, something @JeaneF1MSP now says she accepts is not happening and both governments are working together on.
After @NicolaSturgeon media briefing in which @ScotGovFM said such a practice would be "unconscionable and unacceptable" I asked @scotgov a couple of simple questions about the issue.
First, what was the Scottish government's response to the UK government saying there was no question that Scotland was discriminated against? That came out of @10DowningStreet briefing while @NicolaSturgeon @JeaneF1MSP were coming to the end of theirs.
Second, I also asked if it was correct that procurement is being done through NHS England (Public Health England) but that when PPE goes to them it is then distributed across the whole of the UK, according to need. This was what UK government was saying....
...And, as the UK govt was also saying, firms in England would be like many others, deal with Public Health England but the equipment does not necessarily goes to England.
On both of those question @scotgov referred me back to what @NicolaSturgeon said at her media briefing.
But media briefing was nearly finished by time No 10 had set out UK position.
I guess @JeaneF1MSP would argue her later Tweet about having spoken to @MattHancock and working constructively answers the question.
If @scotgov get back to me with more, I will of course update.
And while all this was going on both UK and Scottish governments announced further deaths with #coronavirus and continued to face questions, north and south of the Border, on whether there was an adequate supply of PPE.
