With limited powers available to Scottish Government, we are working to mitigate some of Westminster’s damaging policies - like the bedroom tax, welfare cuts and the two-child cap. But I did not come into politics to simply mitigate failed policies. I want to deliver the best for Scotland.

@scotgov How’s Anguses world tour coming along ??

@scotgov Close Holyrood. Scrap devolution. Scotland was better run, better off, and a happier place before all the incompetent shrieking grievance chimps got into power. And it had 22 less genders. 🙄 Get these SNP mugs gone !!!

@scotgov There is a shortage of housing so you shouldn’t be mitigating the so called bedroom tax. The 2 child cap needs to stay to avoid incentivising irresponsible/bad parents to have ever more children that they expect others to pay for. If you want the best for Scotland, then resign

@scotgov You failed John. But you have managed to live a life high off the hog of the hard pressed taxpayer. Undeserved

𝐔𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐖𝐡𝐲 𝐇𝐚𝐫𝐫𝐢𝐬 𝐋𝐨𝐬𝐭 The liberal establishment has abandoned their base and emboldened Trump to capture voters who are disillusioned with the status quo. We need to move forward to build a legitimate working class coalition... ★ NEW ARTICLE ⬇️

@scotgov Every word considered and strikes home. Like poetry. Yes we should aspire to do more than mitigate the cruel, hurtful, and even deadly, Westminster policies. Aye, we should, we will and we would do better if we were a normal self governing country. I believe it's time.

@scotgov Benefits for votes........To think Sturgeon's constituency has the highest child poverty in Scotland and she never made it her priority. Nearly 2 million people in Scotland (and rising) on some form of benefits. Thats a lot of benefts paid for from 2.8 million scottish taxpayers.

@scotgov You, the SNP, have been in scotgov for 17 years. In that time, you have achieved absolutely nothing.

@scotgov Resign and call an election you lying, corrupt , incompetent cunt

@scotgov Why is an asset rich country in so much poverty? End the union & deliver our independence

@scotgov How can we mitigate against your constitution dept that’s burning through at least £350m per year?
