In my first full week as FM, I have been focussed on the priorities of the Scottish people.
Delivering funding to help low-income households with childcare, ensuring we invest in the just transition & reducing health inequalities.
As FM, your priorities will be my priorities.
An incredible week full of many historic, memorable and surreal moments, this one from Bute House was particularly special.
I look forward to setting out the priorities of my Government in the coming weeks, starting tomorrow with a focus on helping low income households.
My family and I spending our first night in Bute House after today's parliamentary vote. A special moment leading my family in prayer in Bute House as is customary after breaking fast together.
Polls have closed! I could not be prouder of the campaign we've run
Thank you to my wonderful family, friends, campaign team & all those members who have supported me throughout this amazing journey
Whatever happens, I know SNP will come together & unite behind our new leader
1/ While disappointed by it I respect ruling of @UKSupremeCourt - it doesn't make law, only interprets it.
A law that doesn't allow Scotland to choose our own future without Westminster consent exposes as myth any notion of the UK as a voluntary partnership & makes case for Indy
I find it absolutely disgusting that Rishi Sunak and his cronies are out there attacking Scottish democracy , our voice needs to be heard! If he cared for us, he’d respect our decisions. Shameful.
🏴 Now is exactly the time.
🗳️ It's time to escape the Westminster chaos, always get the governments we vote for, and build a fairer economy with independence.

The Conservative party is designed to protect the rich, and the powerful.
They see power as their birth right, and they see you and I as servants to the slaughter
They represent intolerance and hate
Nothing ever good can come from the Cons party
