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.

We have scrapped peak rail fares across Scotland, for good. On routes like Glasgow to Edinburgh, it means you now save over £200 per month. ✅

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. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

There’s been a lot of talk about buses today... Our £2 bus fare cap is already live in parts of Scotland, we are rolling it out across the country, and young people under 22 travel for free under the SNP.

I want more children and young people to be able to play sports, which is why we're funding more opportunities such as free football training camps. Great to visit Edinburgh South Community Football Club for a wee kickabout. ⚽️

Andy Burnham is right to acknowledge that Westminster isn’t working for Scotland. If he’s serious about delivering more powers for Scotland, I am ready to work constructively with him.

Encouraging to see Scottish businesses reporting improving confidence. There's more to do, and my government will keep supporting businesses to grow our economy, while backing the next generation of entrepreneurs through the First Minister's Start Up Challenge.

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.

Enough is enough. When politicians use hateful language, they create conditions for hatred to grow. This is the Reform party I warned about, and they should be ashamed for inciting racial division in Scotland. I will always stand up for the inclusive country we are. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Ahead of the World Cup, Craig Ferguson is doing an extraordinary 3,000 mile walk across the US to raise awareness and funds for mental health. A real honour and pleasure to catch up with Craig for a chat before he sets off. The whole of Scotland will be behind you! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

The Scotland we love is a nation of extraordinary resilience, one that can overcome each and every passing storm. In this new Parliament, we must work together - so we can deliver for the people who elected us here, and bring hope for the future.

The Scottish Parliament has spoken. A significant majority of MSPs has voted to affirm the right of people in Scotland to decide their constitutional future. This is democracy and it must be respected. Scotland’s future must be in Scotland’s hands. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿
