Voters are getting used to being let down by the Labour Government.
♀️ The women of the @WASPI_Campaign.
👴👵 The pensioners with their Winter Fuel Payment
🏭 The Grangemouth workers.
The only way to avoid the impact of decisions made in Westminster is with independence.
“Douglas Alexander must resign and the public must be given full disclosure on whether our national security has been threatened by meetings at the instruction of Peter Mandelson.”
@AlexKerrSNP
SNP MSP @AlexKerrSNP says the Mandelson files have revealed "a disturbing and often sycophantic relationship" between some Scottish Labour figures and the disgraced peer.
"What assessment has the First Minister made of these alarming relationships that have been exposed?" #FMQs

We are working hard to deliver on your priorities. In case you missed it, this week:
🏥 NHS long waits fell for 11th month in a row
🩺 Surpassed the target of 150,000 extra appointments
🏡 First Homes Fund to open by the end of June
🏴 Passed the vote on devolving energy powers
A majority in the Scottish Parliament has just backed our call to devolve energy powers to Scotland.
We can’t afford being tied to the failed policies at Westminster.
Scotland’s energy should work for Scotland - with the powers we need to help bring people’s bills down.
❗️ Only @theSNP will stand up for Scotland in Westminster!
🫵 If 𝘆𝗼𝘂 live in the Arbroath and Broughty Ferry or Aberdeen South constituencies, remember to vote for @larabirdsnp or @thomsonrichardg in next month’s by-elections.
🗳️ For a better, brighter future #VoteSNP.
🏴 Yesterday, Scotland’s Parliament backed a second independence referendum.
👀 Not one unionist MSP made a positive case for staying in the UK.
🤔 If they’re so confident, why fear letting Scotland choose its future? Or are they worried this time the answer will be yes?
Scotland has what it takes.
Countries like Denmark, Norway, Iceland and Ireland show what can happen when nations make their own choices: stronger economies, fairer societies and happier people.
Independence is Scotland’s chance to lower bills, protect our NHS, and put our future where it belongs: in Scotland’s hands.
I'm focused on delivering for people in Scotland. This week, we will bring forward plans to cut the cost of living, expand childcare and help first-time buyers.
And tomorrow, Parliament can back Scotland's right to hold a referendum on the fresh start of independence. 🏴
🤦♂️ Keir Starmer can’t even copy our homework right.
Free bus travel for only one month is a drop in the ocean for young people in England.
Meanwhile young people in Scotland get free bus travel all year, free tuition and will get to £10,000 to get on the property ladder.
I am deeply appalled by the conduct and rhetoric of Israeli Cabinet minister Itamar Ben-Gvir in relation to the Global Sumud Flotilla.
Scotland stands with the people of Gaza. We need to see more humanitarian aid coming in, and every effort must be made to secure lasting peace.
🏴 Congratulations to John Swinney on being elected First Minister of Scotland by the Scottish Parliament.
The SNP Scottish Government has secured a renewed mandate and will always be on your side.
Thank you to everyone who voted SNP.
