A great loss to University of Glasgow. The leadership given by Anton Muscatelli has been outstanding and has created such a formidable world class institution in Scotland. All good wishes.

Delighted to see the excellent progress being made at the site of the new Blairgowrie Recreation Centre along with Cllrs John Rebbeck and Tom McEwan. The project is going well and will be a huge benefit to the local community.

There have been differences in income tax between Scotland and rUK for 7 years. Labour voted in favour of them in 2021, 2022 & 2023. Their apparent new policy of no difference would mean cuts of around £1.5 billion. The biggest failure of economic policy is Labour backed Brexit.

🎂 It’s the SNP’s 90th birthday today.

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 From the early days when independence seemed a distant dream, to now, where our nation’s independence is within reach.

📜 Now’s the time and now’s the hour to be part of Scotland’s story.

I welcome the changes to the original, completely unacceptable proposals for bus services in Perthshire Stagecoach East Scotland. The revised proposals are not perfect but are a big improvement. I am very grateful to local people and The Courier for helping to make this happen.

I do my best to shield my children from the racism and Islamaphobia I face on a regular basis. That becomes increasingly difficult when racist grafitti targeting me appears near our family home.

A reminder of why we must, collectively, take a zero-tolerance approach to hatred.

Delighted to open Scottish Crannog Centre at the new site in on the shores of Loch Tay. After the tragic fire at the Centre, this is a triumph for hope and energy by everyone involved, supported by £2.4m from Scottish Government. Beautiful day and a must visit.

Scotland’s capacity for electricity generation from renewable sources increased by 10% within a year. New figures for 2023 show Scotland continues to generate more electricity than it uses, with net exports to other UK nations worth an estimated £1.5bn. gov.scot/news/renewable…

I may not see eye to eye on everything with the First Minister but it’s great to live in a Scotland outwardly proud of its diversity and sharing in special interfaith moments like this.
