OPPOSITION parties have urged the newly appointed Cabinet to work together to tackle the big challenges of Covid-19 recovery and the climate emergency.
Following her formal appointment as First Minister on Tuesday afternoon, Nicola Sturgeon unveiled her top team today, with an overhaul of the SNP front bench.
Former ministers Fiona Hyslop and Fergus Ewing have left the front bench, while Deputy First Minister John Swinney was removed from the education role following Scotland’s exam scandal last year.
He will now take up a new role as Covid Recovery Secretary, with other parties claiming Mr Swinney has “left a wake of damaging failures behind him.”
