Ooft - Oliver Mundell raises this in the Holyrood chamber, asking why Nicola Sturgeon "lied to parliament" about cooperating with the Salmond inquiry. Presiding Officer asks him to apologise or rephrase "liar", but he refuses to withdraw it - and is kicked out of the chamber https://twitter.com/BBCPhilipSim/status/1310946421357645824
Ken Macintosh asked Oliver Mundell to "apologise for using the term liar in the chamber", but the Tory MSP insisted it was "the appropriate word" - he says it was "disrespectful to parliament for the first minister to make a promise and not to keep it"
I don't suppose this was particularly spontaneous - there were shades of James Kelly "no sittin' doon" - but Oliver Mundell will have created enough of a stir to keep the matter at the forefront of debate and thus maintain pressure on the government over the Salmond inquiry
I wonder how getting chucked out of the chamber works in the hybrid parliament era, when some MSPs are dialling in from home...

"If you don't withdraw that remark I'm going to have to ask you to leave your sitting room, Mr Mundell"
