On Tuesday, the #ScottishParliament elected #JohnSwinney as #FirstMinisterOfScotland.

That's the 5th successive term with an #SNP First Minister.

And it's 23 years since the last election of a #ScottishLabour First Minister: Jack McConnell in 2003.

Now electing a Labour FM is a fading memory, held by people with greying hair. Labour's colour is turning to sepia.
