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. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

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. ✅

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.

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. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

I consistently stood up for Scotland’s whisky industry against US tariffs, and I am delighted that the tariffs have been lifted. I am standing to lead a government that gets things done. The SNP will always stand up for Scotland. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

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! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

We are delivering the best cost of living support in the UK, and we will go further by capping bus fares and essential food prices. But as energy bills rise again, the UK Government must stop dithering and act now. And if they won't, devolve the energy powers so that we can.

Lord Offord and Nigel Farage are trying to spread their poison in Scotland. I will have absolutely none of it. We are focused on what actually matters - helping with the cost of living, improving our NHS and treating all people with dignity.

I promised during this campaign to devote my life to the service of Scotland. While it's still early, I’m profoundly grateful to the people of Scotland for placing their trust in the SNP again. I will do all I can to build a more successful country and improve people’s lives.

I’m fed up with the Westminster system that means hard work delivers less and less, while people’s energy and food costs just keep going up. The fresh start of independence would mean we can use Scotland’s resources to benefit Scotland’s people. #BothVotesSNP on May 7th. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿
