This Labour Government promised there would be “no return to austerity”.
These welfare cuts are yet another broken promise that have far-reaching consequences on the most vulnerable in our society. While the super-rich get richer, the poor get poorer – all under Labour’s watch.
It is great that the UK is rejoining Erasmus+. However, in so doing, it demonstrates how Brexit has harmed opportunity for young people, and that we are missing out on many other benefits of EU membership, too.
Scotland must rejoin the EU as a full independent member state.
This is very good news for Scotland. I am grateful to everyone involved in the discussions. This ensures that the progress we are making in NHS recovery can be maintained.
Labour: "We're delivering things the Tories said they would, but didn't deliver. That's why people are saying, what's the point of the Conservative Party?"
With Labour boasting about delivering Tory policies, what's the point of Westminster?

“Where others sow fear and division across Scotland, let us plant the seeds of hope and ambition.

Let us build a Scotland all of us can be proud of.” @JohnSwinney
However, I am clear that all nations must abide by the international rules-based system, and having listened carefully to what has been said by the United States administration in recent days, I cannot see how international law has been respected here. [2/3]
I am deeply concerned at the situation which has unfolded in Venezuela.
There is no doubt that the Maduro regime was an illegitimate and authoritarian regime. [1/3]
The number of 18-year old Scots securing a place at university in Scotland has reached a record high of 17,675 in 2025.
@Scotgov’s commitment to free tuition means access to university remains based on the ability to learn and not the ability to pay.

SMRs the latest “Atomic Lemons”- “the battered commercial nuclear industry is back with its most audacious pitch yet: SMR lobbying of governments worldwide for taxpayer money. Why? No private investor will touch nukes with a ten-foot uranium rod”
