Scotland's first minister John Swinney is not planning a party to celebrate his first anniversary in Holyrood's top political office.

Voters will ultimately decide whether to keep John Swinney as first minister or kick him out.

There has been a remarkable shift in the Scottish political narrative since he replaced Humza Yousaf as first minister.

His was a party fractured over independence strategy, gender politics and environmental commitments plus the legacy of harassment complaints against the former first minister Alex Salmond that were mishandled by the Scottish government.

Swinney was elected party leader unopposed in May last year and moved quickly to patch up some of the divisions within the SNP by appointing Kate Forbes to his cabinet as deputy first minister.
