Nicola Sturgeon is expected to be voted in as Scotland's First Minister by parliament later, after Alex Salmond stepped down from the role. Ms Sturgeon, who would be the first woman to hold the post, has already succeeded Mr Salmond as SNP leader. She will take part in her first First Minister's questions in the new job on Thursday. Ms Sturgeon is also expected shortly to announce the make-up of her cabinet and junior ministerial team. Scottish Secretary Alistair Carmichael hopes the appointment can offer a fresh start for UK relations, saying “"With Nicola taking over the reins, I hope that this will be a point when we can hit the reset button on the relationship between the two governments.” Louise asks: Nicola Sturgeon is expected to become Scotland’s new First Minister today.
