Hello Voornaam,

Happy to report that it's Friday, the sun is shining (at least it is here) and we've got a feast of news, sport, opinion and features for you this weekend. The continuing tumult at the top of the SNP, and thus the Scottish government, continues with what is looking like a John Swinney coronation.

Five stories to start the day

- Analysis - Back to the future as Swinney insists he is the man to unite SNP

- Have Humza Yousaf's opponents made a terrible mistake by ousting him for John Swinney? - Euan McColm

- Edinburgh's iconic time ball on Calton Hill to be removed under revamp

- 'Worrying night' for the Conservatives as Labour make huge election gains

- What happened when I bought a derelict farm in Ibiza

Have a brilliant Friday and a peaceful weekend when it comes.

Josh
