Out campaigning in Aberdeen today with a simple message:

Scotland’s energy wealth should enrich Scotland’s people, not Westminster.

SNP demand Douglas Alexander resigns from Cabinet role after revelations over Peter Mandelson lobbying firm links emerge

[The National @ScotNational]

📩 Every vote is going to count in this by-election.

📮Make sure you return your postal vote as soon as you can to make sure that your voice is heard.

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 For an MP who will fight tirelessly for Arbroath and Broughty Ferry, vote SNP by the 18th of June.

[Scottish Government @scotgov]

We are reducing long waits, improving access and strengthening primary care, across the NHS.

Health Secretary, Angela Constance spoke earlier today about how she wants to protect, renew and reform our most precious national asset.

Watch for more.

Local news matters.

For decades, people across Aberdeen and the North East have relied on STV North for news about their communities, not just headlines from elsewhere.

Now Westminster has waved through the end of that dedicated bulletin. It’s a blow for local journalism, local accountability and viewers who value news that reflects where they live.

[The SNP @theSNP]

Labour said it would protect Grangemouth.

Instead, Westminster has allowed Scotland’s refinery to close while easing sanctions on aviation fuel made from Russian oil.

Scotland’s energy workers deserve better and Scotland deserves control over its own energy future.

[Kevin Stewart SNP @KevinStewartSNP]

Pleased to see that Jack Middleton’s motion calling on OFCOM to reconsider their disastrous decision on STV North has achieved cross-party support & is eligible for a Members’ Debate.

I hope parliament will be given the opportunity to debate this important issue.

Happy Pride Month! The best way to celebrate Pride Month is to fight hard for human rights and equality for all LGBTQIA+ people.

Stephen Flynn says he is 'incredibly frustrated' at what he characterised as UK governments treating the North Sea as an 'afterthought' 👇

[Lara Bird SNP @larabirdsnp]

⚡️ Scotland produces enormous amounts of energy. Yet, it isn’t us who gets the benefits.

🥀 Labour promised to cut bills, but they are higher than ever, and set to rise again.

🗳️ If you think that Scotlands energy should be in our hands, then vote SNP on the 18th of June.

[John Swinney @JohnSwinney]

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.

[Jack Middleton @jackmiddleton95]

Westminster is failing Aberdeen

[Richard Thomson @thomsonrichardg]

GB Energy was never going to work, and it reeks of the Westminster establishment being completely out of touch with the North East.

Another in a long list of failures by the UK Government.

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 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?
