Labour to invite England’s ‘devolution deserts’ to take on more power. Non-mayoral deals are planned in Lancashire, Devon and Torbay, and Cornwall while provisional deals have also been struck with 3 others. You don’t need centralising mayors to devolve. https://t.co/70OuEwl4OD

Great to attend yesterday’s African and Caribbean Heritage event, highlighting how arts and cultural events educate young people about Scotland’s colonial history and its link to modern racism. Amazing work in this area and celebrating @SirGeoffPalmer's remarkable impact!

I was delighted to visit @VADundee, Scotland’s first-ever Design Museum.

This remarkable institution is a great asset for both Dundee and Scotland.

We received a very warm welcome and enjoyed amazing exhibitions that thoughtfully address the history of colonialism.

The onshore wind ban has been in place for 9 years.

We've been in government for 72 hours, we've lifted it.

That's the pace we're going to move at.
