This Remembrance Sunday, we honour all those who have served our country and kept us safe, and all those who have made heroic sacrifices in the pursuit of peace.

We will remember them.

[Lord Vernon Coaker @Vernon_Coaker]

I visited Kenya to see the UK’s defence partnership first-hand.

From regional security discussions to BATUK’s work on the ground, our partnership goes beyond military training, with over £1 million invested in local healthcare and school water infrastructure.

The reception at Westminster on Wednesday evening was a success, with a great turnout. We enjoyed sharing our visions for Scotland in 2050 - and hope to see many of you at the conference on the 8th of June!

“We must take faster action.....There is more to do.”
Those are the Minister’s own words on The Promise. Six years on warnings that “the next 6 to 18 months will determine whether the promise being kept remains possible.” Delivery now matters more than promises. Read my thoughts.

Scotland needs a politics of hope again - rooted in empathy, community and compassion.

That’s what Scottish Labour will offer.

[Michael Marra MSP @michaeljmarra]

A new generation of devolution deals can be the key to delivering the growth Scotland needs.

Let’s put power and control into the hands of Scotland’s communities.

[Michael Marra MSP @michaeljmarra]

Education will be at the heart of my leadership.

We need to be honest about what’s working, fix what isn’t, and give every young person in Scotland a fair go.

Energy is the sector that can power economic growth in Scotland - but Scottish workers must come first.
