Scotland's Conservative MSPs have given their support to the leader, who was branded a "lightweight" by Jacob Rees-Mogg, a member of Boris Johnson's Cabinet.

The First Minister told MSPs this afternoon that the cap would be lifted from Monday. The vaccine passport scheme is also set to be strengthened.

A widespread shortage of PCR tests across the devolved nations was due to an administrative error, the First Minister of Scotland has said.
