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.

Scotland is a nation. Every nation has a right to decide its own future. If Andy Burnham disagrees with that, he should tell the people of Scotland.

It's never been more important for Scotland to regain independence. With increasingly right-wing governments controlling us from Westminster, who we never vote for, Scotland needs independence. #ScottishIndependence

We need to do politics differently. If Andy Burnham is serious about cross party working, my door is open.

I talk to John Swinney on Andy Burnham becoming Prime Minister. SNP ready to fight General Election - but doesn't appear to want one. Calls for Burnham to sack Douglas Alexander as Scottish Secretary after he 'soured' relations. Must deliver more devolution to Scotland.

It is deeply wrong that Scotland cannot decide for itself whether to hold a referendum on its future. Decisions about Scotland should be made by the people who live here, not imposed by Westminster politicians.

Living standards in the UK are flat as a pancake and Westminster governments are unable and unwilling to address that. Independence is about having the full powers to tackle the cost of living crisis - and it’s for people in Scotland to decide.

Kemi Badenoch slams Andy Burnham, tearing his plans to shreds. She’s right, Andy Burnham doing a speech about extending devolution isn’t going to get Britain working again, or sort out the ballooning benefits bill and it certainly won’t fund defence. Labour isn’t working.

In Scotland, we’re lifting children out of poverty, but continuing Westminster cuts are pushing children into poverty. With independence, Scotland will have all the powers to choose a different path - ending austerity and eradicating child poverty for good.

If you want to see any serious critique of Andy Burnham's 'more devolution' from the perspective of the devolved Govts then forget BBC Scotland. You have to turn to BBC Wales. BBC Scotland is genuinely finished as a trusted political news vendor.

Taking a break from Westminster chaos, we head north to Scotland, where Peter Murrell faces the dreaded Willy-o-tine in Edinburgh Castle’s courtyard. Can wee Nicola Sturgeon and Andy Burnham save him before the sentence is carried out? {satire}

We are ending the two-child cap in Scotland, because we are serious about tackling poverty. It’s a shame that Anas Sarwar is failing to oppose the UK government’s welfare cuts, which will push more people into poverty. He stands up for Starmer, I stand up for Scotland.

When I talk about a fresh start for Scotland I mean for ALL of our people. I am appalled at the increasingly divisive rhetoric about refugees coming from Westminster. My comments at The SNP conference on Westminster's lurch to the right are particularly relevant this week👇
