Edinburgh's 63 newly-elected councillors have pushed back from forming an administration after a virtual meeting which lasted just ten minutes.
Thursday (May 19) saw the first full council meeting since the election, but it was cut short as a result of no deal being finalised by parties vying to form an administration to run The City of Edinburgh Council for the next five years.
"Blink and you'll miss it" was the warning issued by Lib Dem councillor Kevin Lang on Twitter as it kicked off at 10am, before wrapping up less than 10 minutes later.
