As the election looms, it's important coverage is impartial, accurate and reflects policy differences in Scotland. Devolution cannot be treated as a side show to the Starmer and Sunak circus.

We're deeply saddened to hear of the passing of one of Scotland's sporting greats in David Wilkie.

From Commonweslth bronze age 16 in front of a home crowd, to Olympic gold in 1976, he was an inspiration to so many.

Our thoughts are with his family and friends at this time.

First Minister John Swinney has announced £16 million to expand access to childcare, to help deliver his vision of a Scotland that is free from child poverty.

Addressing Scottish Parliament, he said eradicating child poverty would be his government’s single most important objective.

I look forward to leading The SNP in this election. This is the moment to remove the Tory Govt and put Scotland First by voting SNP. People in Scotland know we stand up for them and protect them from the damage done by Westminster. #voteSNP 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

📢 The Westminster election on July the 4th is Scotland’s opportunity to remove the Tory Government and to put Scotland first by voting SNP.

With a general election called on 4th July, during the Scottish school holidays, make sure you are registered to vote and get yourself a postal vote sorted if you need it!

I'll be on the BBC Politics Scotland panel this afternoon to discuss the latest political happenings - watch it here 👇bbc.co.uk/programmes/m00…

'What first attracted the backer of a far-right party in Germany to donate to the Tories’ favourite dining club? And is it him or the Conservative Party that wants his donations obscured by the Carlton Club?' goodlaw.social/9okn

The reality of Brexit, courtesy of the NAO. And yet Labour continue to remain silent about the damage it is causing.

Inexcusable.

Both Tories & Labour must stand by international law and, whilst this application for an arrest warrant is determined, confirm that they will fully support the final determination that is made by the court.

Meantime, arms sales must be halted and a ceasefire demanded.

This warning from Anton Muscatelli - a most distinguished economist and University Principal - must be taken seriously and addressed by U.K. Government.

‘All roads lead back to Westminster’

No, not an SNP soundbite.

Instead, those words belong to UK Labour’s Shadow Health Secretary as he explains why the NHS is in crisis in Wales.

Well worth a listen, and a share.

Just imagine the supreme jealousy Europeans will feel when they discover this 'Brexit freedom' of al fresco dining

🚃 The extension of the scrapping of peak fares on ScotRail for a further 3 months will provide real support for thousands of commuters across Scotland at a time when it’s needed.

Another masterclass in the art of the calm putdown from @DeidreBrockwho as she demolishes Sunak and his deeply offensive slurs against the Scottish people.

First Minister John Swinney met STUC General Secretary Roz Foyer to discuss shared economic aspirations and the importance of social partnership.

Trade unions are a key partner as @ScotGov works to end child poverty, address the climate crisis and boost the economy.

Fantastic afternoon at the North Edinburgh Community Festival on Saturday at West Pilton Park, where I shared a stall with Ben Macpherson MSP and Cllr Stuart Dobbin. Great to hear from so many folk, catch up with lots of local organisations & enjoy the entertainment in the lovely sunshine☀️

Scotland rightly declared a housing emergency, because there’s more that needs to be done and we need new ambition.

But the facts are facts: Scotland builds a lot more homes per capita than England and Wales - no matter how loud the Tories try to shout down John Swinney.
