Great morning campaigning in Blackburn on fuel poverty.
Just this week Greg Jackson of Octopus Energy said Scotland could have the cheapest bills in Europe.
We need the powers of independence to set our own pricing and connection charges so that no Scot suffers fuel poverty.

[Callum Cox @SNPCallum]

I was the first in my working-class family to go to Uni — benefitting from @theSNP scrapping Labour’s backend tuition fees

Now, I’m a particle physics researcher working on international experiments

This is why we invest in young people — and it’s the SNP who will protect that!

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 I’m standing to be your SNP candidate for Falkirk East and Linlithgow - my home.

Nowhere is the failure of UK Government clearer than it is at Grangemouth in our constituency.

For as long as we continue to be governed from London - we’ll continue to face the same fate.

I want to build a winning coalition for independence - not just here in Falkirk East and Linlithgow, but across Scotland.

We need new voices in Holyrood - let’s get #SeriousAboutIndependence

The SNPs' nomination process for the 2026 Scottish Parliament election opens today.
If you are an SNP member in the new Bathgate seat I am asking for your support.
Scotland needs independence now to protect the progress we have made and build the country we know is possible.

[John Swinney @JohnSwinney]

Great to see @YSINational out and about on the campaign trail @theSNP. Thanks for all you are doing.

[John Swinney @JohnSwinney]

A privilege to lay a wreath in Edinburgh for the first time as @ScotGovFM. It is vital we pay tribute to the sacrifices made for us to enjoy freedom and democracy. We will remember them.

[John Swinney @JohnSwinney]

Scotland is on track to deliver 6000 EV chargers, the Truck Taskforce sees collaboration on HGVs and first route-map for electric and hydrogen fuelling stations mapped and zero emission bus funding becoming self-financing with private sector - addressed the #ZemoSummit24 today

[Pauline Stafford MSP for Bathgate @PaulineBathgate]

Just out of West Lothian Council Executive meeting where the Lab/Tory administration voted to further restrict the Scottish Welfare Payment: a grant relied on by constituents in crisis who can't afford basic essentials..on the same day that people's energy bills are rising by 10%

[Fiona Hyslop @FionaHyslop]

It was a pleasure to attend Purdie Worldwide’s Annual Coffee Morning in aid of Macmillan Cancer Support and great to meet West Lothian’s Paralympic Archery Gold medal Champion, Nathan McQueen.

[Scottish Government @scotgov]

We are celebrating 25 years of @ScotParl.

First Minister @JohnSwinney praised the success of the Scottish Parliament and its place at the very heart of the nation.

Watch for more.

Now we know how Labour could afford to bombard Scotland with all those false 'CHANGE' ads in the run up to the election.

[Pauline Stafford MSP for Bathgate @PaulineBathgate]

So nice to meet the weaving group at https://t.co/EGq5HRXFsf. It was fascinating to see these skills being used again leading to a fantastic 1st place win at the Royal Highland Show for their tweed purse. Anyone interested in getting involved can drop in on Saturday mornings.
