I feel so blessed for having the opportunity so few are afforded — the chance to lead my country, and who could ask for a better country to lead than Scotland.

Thank you for all of the kind messages of love & support. I will always strive to serve Scotland in whatever way I can.

As First Minister, Humza Yousaf has led Scotland with compassion and principle - all of which are reflected in the dignity and grace of his statement today. My very best wishes to Humza, Nadia and their family for the future.

Across all income tax bands, more people from the rest of the UK are moving to Scotland than leaving.

Nearly 4,200 more a year on average since 2017/18, bringing £200 million extra taxable income to Scotland in 2021/22.

That's more money to invest in Scotland's public services.
