Every time I speak to Scotland’s care sector, they tell me they need more people. Westminster’s migration policies are very damaging to social care, but I’m proud that our displaced workers scheme helps care providers, like Quarriers who I visited today, retain skilled staff.

The Saltire flutters gently above the St Andrew’s Day service at Athelstaneford. Rev Douglas Hamilton made the parallel that Andrew brought people together with Jesus and the Saltire brings us all together in an inclusive Scotland. A beautiful message for our National Day. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Energy-rich Scotland has some of the highest energy prices in Europe - and they are set to rise again this winter. If the UK Government won’t cut energy bills as they promised, they should get out of the way for a Scottish Government that will.

The SNP introduced free university tuition in Scotland and we will always protect it - because we believe that education should be based on your ability to learn, not your ability to pay.

To go from “off limits” to this is an acceptance of the reality that the people of Scotland will decide their own future - not the UK Government. For the first time since 2014, a British Prime Minister accepts that majority support for a referendum should mean one takes place.

It is utterly deplorable that a housing project in Glasgow was deliberately set on fire because of racist misinformation spread online. Those responsible will be fully pursued and will face justice. Let's unite against racism and lies that seek to break our communities apart.

Promise made, promise delivered. The £2 bus fare cap is now live in Glasgow and Strathclyde. From Ayr or Greenock to Glasgow, you now save around £8 per journey. We are cutting the cost of living and this is just the start.

Labour promised to lower your energy bills, but it was just confirmed they are rising again - for the seventh time under this UK Labour government. Enough is enough. It’s Scotland’s energy, and it’s time to put it into Scotland’s hands.

Toxic content on social media is flooding into the feeds of boys and men and fuelling the epidemic of violence against women and girls that we are seeing. Social media firms must clean up their act and clamp down on harmful content.

We cannot let Westminster off the hook in their attempts to deny Scottish democracy. It is a fundamental right of people in Scotland to choose their future, and we must have that choice.
