My view in debates is let things happen a bit, and see how they behave in crossfire and noise. It can be as revealing as the answers. Preferable to formal, strict formats shutting people down all the time. I found tonight’s fascinating and revealing. #NextLeaderOfScotland

Among most honest bits was asking them who believed they’d be First Minister, and only Sturgeon put her hand up. That’s why election so strange. Tories trying to stop SNP majority, Lab trying beat Tories, others trying to be relevant.

Also significant Sturgeon conceding economic impact of a border, Ross saying he opposed gay marriage at the time and long qualified answer on Johnson allegations, Sarwar admitting his manifesto doesn’t add up and he won’t win.
