Anas Sarwar is insisting that an election must take place when the governing party elects a new leader. That the new leader can't be installed as FM. Labour have done just that in Wales and yet nobody is asking Sarwar to explain the contradiction. It's a simple question. Why is…

Thanks Humza Yousaf for his efforts as FM&SNP leader. Public life is tough&politics can be brutal. He took over during a difficult time&has brought The SNP through in better shape&more united, ready to fight an independence focused GE. His successor owes a huge debt of gratitude.

Ahead of International #WorkersMemorialDay I was honoured to take part in a wreath laying ceremony to remember workers who have died, been injured, or made ill at/because of work. We must reflect on workplace safety to protect workers. 1 death, injury or illness is too many #IWMD

Yesterday I took part in a wreath laying ceremony organised by ANC UK, to commemorate the 109th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide & remember the 1.5m Armenians massacred by Ottoman Turks between 1915-2023 & the 150,000 Artsakh Armenians subjected to ethnic cleansing.

Over 192.1m animals worldwide are used for scientific purposes. This World Day for Animals in Laboratories, let's commit to ending the suffering of animals by ending the barbaric practice of animal testing and promoting cruelty-free research. #WDAIL2024 #stopanimaltesting ❌

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 - We know that Scotland needs real change - a change of the Government in London won't cut it - we need the full powers of independence.

Of course.

The only path forward for Scotland is to have a government that truly plans to fix the economy and tackle inequality, and that is through an independent government in Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

At #STUC24 First Minister Humza Yousaf vowed to “stand shoulder to shoulder” with the trade union movement.

We're committed to making Scotland the best place it can be for working people by:

🔵advancing equality
🔵tackling discrimination
🔵strengthening workers’ rights

I have again voted against the Government on this unworkable and immoral piece of Tory legislation.

💡I've responded to UKG's Review of Electricity Market Arrangements consultation voicing support for zonal pricing. Under zonal pricing consumers pay less for electricity the closer they live to the infrastructure, meaning Scotland could have the cheapest electricity in Europe.
