Anas Sarwar at the Fringe: toothbrushes, socks and Barbie?
"John Swinney. Listen, Nicola Sturgeon and I have done local politics together for almost 20 years. I think we've spent enough time in the south side of Glasgow together. Let's not do that again."
Manual or electric toothbrush?
"Manual. Never used an electric toothbrush."
Who's the better dancer — you or Alex Cole-Hamilton?
"Definitely me."
He thinks he's good, doesn't he?
"He thinks he's brilliant at everything."

Biggest celebrity crush?
"Oh, this got me into trouble actually. How do you answer that without sounding like a creep? That's the challenge. My goodness. Um... I'll say Margot Robbie was my biggest celebrity crush."
Barbie?
"Less Barbie, more… I'm not going there."
Biggest crush at Holyrood?
"Oh my goodness… Neil Bibby."
Biggest fashion disaster?
"Honestly, when I look at pictures from when I first became an MP, it looks like I'm wearing a suit jacket that's four sizes too big. Like I'm wearing my dad's suit — utterly ridiculous. And we used to wear really thick ties — the ties were this thick."
Any others?
"Oh, also — I did a Fringe show last year where I wore chinos and a pair of trainers — no socks. And I got absolutely slated for not wearing socks. That's not that bad though, is it?"

Nigel Farage faces Scottish revolt over trans women in female jails
Nigel Farage is facing a revolt from the Scottish wing of his party over whether trans women should ever be sent to female jails. The Reform UK leader earlier this week backed Vanessa Frake, his new justice adviser who is a former prison governor, when she said some transgender criminals should be imprisoned in women's jails. His backing is understood to have dismayed some party figures north of the border, who saw a tough stance on the issue as a vote winner ahead of the 2026 Holyrood elections. Farage later said that he had never supported men in women's prisons. Asked for clarification on their position on trans women in female jails, Reform's spokeswoman in Scotland, Claire Mackie-Brown, claimed that her party was the only one north of the border backing this year's Supreme Court ruling on the definition of woman as 'biological'. The former Scottish Conservative councillor said: 'The SNP, Labour and even fringe parties like the Tories, backed gender recognition and self-identification. 'We stand for common sense: only biological women belong in female prisons and women's spaces — no ifs, or buts.' Ann Widdecombe, the former Conservative MP who was previously Reform UK's immigration and justice spokeswoman later said that it was Reform UK's policy to place some trans women in women's prisons. But she said this was only for biological males who have had their body extensively altered in gender transition surgery, for example having their penis removed and taking female hormones. She was speaking after Frake said it was wrong to have a blanket ban on trans women being held in female jails. Frake argued that any decision should be taken on an individual basis after a risk assessment but that trans prisoners she had supervised were by and large 'accepted' by the prison population. She condemned those who support a complete ban as having 'never stepped foot in a prison and seen how prison runs'. This reflects concerns in the prison service that locking up trans women who had undergone substantial physiological changes — and who had long lived as females — could be considered 'inhumane'. There have also been controversies about the incarceration of biological males who have committed serious sex or violent crimes, such as the rapist Isla Bryson, in women's facilities. For Women Scotland, the gender-critical campaign group, said: 'It's of no surprise that the Scottish branch of Reform has split with Farage and the newly appointed prisons adviser. 'They will be fully aware of the damage the idea that people can change sex has done to political parties that support it. No one should vote for a party that states from the outset that they are intending to break the law.' Farage supported Frake, saying: 'When it comes to trans women in prisons, isn't it interesting that we run our country with people who become ministers who generally have absolutely no idea of the subject matter that they're talking about. 'I personally never worked in a prison, so I can't answer it. But I think you'll find that the answer you'll get from somebody who has worked in prisons at the highest possible level is: it's basically about risk assessment, isn't it?' Farage added: 'In terms of the problems in prisons, it's a relatively small one.' The Reform leader had initially welcomed the Supreme Court ruling — which came after For Women Scotland sued the Scottish government — as a victory for common sense. The Scottish Conservatives rounded on their right-wing opponents. Tess White, the Scottish party's equalities spokeswoman, said: 'Reform can't seem to decide if they believe men belong in women's prisons or not. The Scottish branch say one thing, while Nigel Farage says another, all in the space of a few days. 'They're all over the shop but the Scottish Conservatives are clear: we will always stand up for the safety of women, no matter what silly ideas other parties have on this issue. 'It's common sense that men do not belong in women's prisons but Reform seems completely confused over this issue.' Later in a post retweeted by Nigel Farage, the Reform UK MP Sarah Pochin said: 'I would like to clarify Reform UK policy on transgender prisoners serving time in a female prison. I can assure all of you that under a Reform government, no biological male prisoner will ever serve time in a female prison. The safety of women will always be a priority for Reform.'

A new partnership with the Edinburgh Festival Fringe Society will help sell 'Brand Scotland' around the world, the Scottish Secretary has said.

Picture: Lisa Ferguson It is the third such deal to be signed, following on from agreements with the Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo and Scottish Chambers of Commerce. The Scotland Office hopes the schemes will help promote Scottish produce and talent overseas. The Tattoo, for example, will support 'Brand Scotland' in trade missions to Japan and Australia. Scottish Secretary Ian Murray | PA Speaking today during the first week of Edinburgh's summer festivals, at the newly-refurbished Filmhouse, Mr Murray will say the arts sector is an important part of the UK's soft power, building links and relationships around the world. 'For some, art and culture is a tool of power, of wealth,' he will say. 'For others it is a tool of nation building, of defining who we are and who we are not.

Fringe chiefs agree deal to work with UK Government overseas
It will take centre stage in efforts to promote "the best of Scotland" overseas around the world. The Fringe Society, which oversees the 78-year-old festival, will be working with the Scotland Office on future trade missions, ministerial visits and other overseas events under the agreement, the first of its kind with the Government. Read more: The Fringe will become part an official 'Brand Scotland' campaign, which was instigated by Scottish Secretary Ian Murray in the wake of Labour's General Election victory to help secure new investment in Scotland. He has described the initiative as "a fantastic opportunity to promote all that is great about Scotland around the world, and show investors the opportunities of Scotland". Tony Lankester is chief executive of the Edinburgh Festival Fringe Society. (Image: Gordon Terris) In a keynote speech today, Mr Murray is expected to highlight the role played by arts and culture in the UK's "soft power" and how the Scottish cultural sector "opens doors right around the world". The Fringe Society said the agreement would help put the festival "at the heart of a global conversation". The new deal has been announced by Mr Murray months after it was revealed that the Government and the Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo had agreed to work together for the first time.

Speaking at the Filmhouse during the first week of the Edinburgh International Festival, Fringe and Tattoo, Mr Murray will warn of the risk of the benefits of arts and culture being 'taken for granted". Scottish Secretary Ian Murray is launching a new partnership with the Edinburgh Festival Fringe Society at the Filmhouse cinema in Edinburgh today. (Image: Ian Georgeson) The Fringe Society has agreed to work with the UK Government following a prolonged campaign to secure more support from the Scottish Government, its agencies and the council. Shona McCarthy, the Fringe Society's chief executive, last year claimed the level of support for the event in Scotland was a 'national embarrassment' and warned the event was becoming 'almost impossible' to deliver. She was left furious after the Fringe Society was turned down for long-term Scottish Government funding by its arts agency Creative Scotland without making the final stage of decision-making. A subsequent open letter by Ms McCarthy, published as the 2025 festival drew to a close, warned that artistic risk and ambitions were being 'hamstrung' at the Fringe, and admitted emerging artists were being 'squeezed out' of the event. She announced she would be leaving her role in September. In a keynote speech in Edinburgh today, Mr Murray is expected to praise the key role played by the Fringe in widening access to the arts. He will pledge that the new partnership with the Fringe Society will deliver 'economic growth that will put more money in people's pockets." However it is not yet known if the Government will keep supporting a 'Keep It Fringe Fund,' launched by Fleabag star Phoebe Waller-Bridge to helps artists and companies from across the UK to meet the costs of putting on Fringe shows. When the Conservatives were in power, the Government committed £7m for a long-awaited project to create a permanent new headquarters for the Fringe Society. The Fringe Society last year secured permission from the Department for Culture, Media and Sport to use £1m of the £7m it had been allocated for 360 Keep It Fringe bursaries for the 2024 and 2025 festivals. Tony Lankester, who took over as Fringe chief executive in April, said: 'The Fringe is arguably one of the UK's finest cultural exports. "In recognising that, this partnership gives us the opportunity to proudly put it at the heart of a global conversation. 'We're proud of the artists and audiences who make the Fringe possible and who create this joyous celebration of creativity each year. 'Putting the Fringe at the centre of 'Brand Scotland' recognises that work, and opens up a world of new platforms for participants.' Mr Murray is due to speak at the Filmhouse cinema, which recently reopened with the help of £1.5m in Government funding, which was also signed off by the Conservatives. Mr Murray said: 'Scotland's excellent arts and culture sector opens doors right around the world. 'From the global stage of the Edinburgh Fringe to the pageantry of the Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo, our arts and creativity don't just entertain - they build the relationships and showcase the innovation that drives real economic returns for communities across Scotland. 'Our partnership deal with the Fringe will help us sell Brand Scotland around the world, helping us deliver the economic growth that will put more money in people's pockets." Mr Murray was speaking at the Filmhouse days after First Minister John Swinney pledged place to the arts "at the heart of Scotland's future" and said the cultural sector was "absolutely essential" to Scotland's economic prosperity. He told a gathering of cultural leaders: "There is so much more that you do to enrich our nation that can't be measured in pounds or pence. Those wider benefits ripple throughout our society. Culture gets to the very heart of our shared history and our national identity. It shapes our public spaces and our environments. It contributes to education, to social dialogue, and to social justice." In his speech at the Filmhouse, Mr Murray is expected to say: 'For some, culture is a tool of power, of wealth. For others, it is a tool of nation building, of defining who we are and who we are not. 'For me, it is something which transcends states and systems, and teaches us something about the human condition which other experiences simply cannot do. 'But that value, that treasure, that ability for our cultural pursuits to let us see into our souls and those around us is something we cannot take for granted.'
