This whole myth of a “voluntary union” is an SNP construct which good journalists should not accept. In 1707 there was no democratic decision by either country. The UK is a unitary state built up over the last three centuries with Scots playing leading parts throughout

The 54 Siemens Gamesa 8 MW wind turbines for this project were made in Le Havre, France It is owned by EDF, the French state electricity firm, and ESB, the Irish state electricity firm The cost of electricity made by the wind farm is £163/MWh, double the current wholesale price

This is shameful. Jewish comedians have their Fringe shows cancelled because venue staff felt “unsafe”. Let’s hope Creeger and Simon find alternative venues and the Edinburgh Festival Fringe helps them to do so

It’s simple: Scotland’s buses should be built in Scotland.

I won’t rest until we get justice for Milly Main and all the families impacted by the QEUH scandal. dailyrecord.co.uk/news/politics/…

One front page sums up the fundamental problem in Scotland: Crisis in Scotland's NHS - 1 in 6 on a waiting list. 1 in 13 long-term sick. Mental health crisis. SNP - IndyRef. After two decades, they are incapable of delivering the change Scotland needs.

A fantastic week in Hong Kong with Arne and the lads, the support for the team was unbelievable.🇭🇰❤️ It is always an honour representing this great football club around the world. YNWA Liverpool FC

I am hosting a public NHS listening event here in Dundee. We will be joined by Scottish Labour Leader Anas Sarwar MSP. It is an informal and free event to allow people across the city to express their views on how our NHS can be improved. Tickets below.

Mhairi Black – just another fake I quite often get asked how I spotted that Nicola Sturgeon was a fake before most did (this article is not about Nicola Sturgeon). To answer I give you my number one piece of political advice – don’t listen to them. I m… ift.tt/OEH8SCD

Scottish Labour’s victory in the Hamilton, Larkhall & Stonehouse byelection sounds the starting gun on the long campaign for next year’s Holyrood election. On the penultimate weekend of the byelection campaign, Chris Carter caught up with Anas Sarwar. fabians.org.uk/tipping-point/

The Scottish Fabians caught up with Anas Sarwar on the campaign trail in Hamilton. Now the choice in 2026 is clear, more of the same with John Swinney, tired and out of time or “a new energy, a new generation, with some new solutions”

“Like much of the promise a young(er) Mhairi Black showed, the final departure failed to deliver and was met with a shrug of the shoulders and a general “so what” from so many.” My latest thoughts in today’s The Herald heraldscotland.com/politics/viewp…

Women are being failed by the SNP. Even NHS nurses are having to go private. It's time for a new direction. scotsman.com/news/opinion/c…

When you ask the public which politician is most full of hot air…. Next year, we can do something about it.

The SNP’s ideological block on new nuclear energy is bad for bills, bad for jobs and bad for the environment. As First Minister I will end the block and unlock billions of investment in Scotland.

The SNP’s dogmatic opposition to nuclear power is bad for East Lothian - where Torness has provided carbon free energy and good jobs for decades - and bad for Scotland. Scotland deserves better: It’s time for Scottish Labour

I’ve had thousands of conversations across Scotland. This one might be the most ‘unconventional’.

Our NHS won’t survive a third decade of the SNP in Government. dailyrecord.co.uk/news/scottish-…

I’ve spent lots of time with Kate since the election, to reset our relationship with the SG & deliver for Scotland. We obviously have political differences but she has worked so hard to get things done. I wish her well in life away from politics. Politics will be poorer w/o her.
