Great to hear John Swinney focusing on tackling the cost-of-living crisis & growing support for independence.

We don't yet have a clear, sustained majority. A revitalised SNP working to help folk is what we need to get the future we need: a fair, equal, independent Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿💛

#WASPI Campaign Before this afternoon’s debate I had the opportunity to catch up with the inspirational #WASPI Campaign women from Scotland.

Any other campaigners might have given up after being ignored for years by the political establishment in Westminster.

But not the WASPI women.

Voting with the Tories and all other unionist parties to bring down a pro independence government. Wow!

The first demonstration accommodation site for Gypsy/Travellers has opened in Clinterty, Aberdeen.

The site, delivered by Aberdeen City Council and supported by a £3.1 million @ScotGov Gypsy/Traveller Accommodation Fund grant, provides residents with more space and modern facilities.

Stuart told us 'housing comes up as the number one issue' in consultations with businesses and communities.

Watch what he had to say📺🔽

When my Safe Access Zones bill passes stage one... 😀

🟢 Yes: 123 🔴No: 1

This was a moment of unity for our Parliament.

I am proud to have the support of MSPs from all parties.

Thank you everyone who has helped to get my bill to this stage.

Amazing news - congrats Cllr Simita Kumar 💛💛🥳

Gillian has worked so hard to get such an important Bill to this stage. It has my full support when we vote later today.

Thank-you Humza Yousaf you are the reason Scotland has not faced nhs strikes.
I wish you and your family well.
I don't know who the successor will be however the SNP remains the biggest party in Holyrood by a significant majority and has a wealth of talent.

...As politicians, of all political parties, we are afforded and privileged to have a platform. Each and every one of us must resist the temptation of populism at the expense of minorities, particularly in a general election year...

Say it with me politicians
