Honoured to join the First Minister’s Government as Minister for Equalities.

I look forward to working alongside John Swinney and Shirley-Anne Somerville to further the equalities portfolio.

Which party/parties have the best chance of achieving #ScottishIndependence

@CllrSharon_Greer Which party left Glasgow with £700 million debt? Labour.
W’minster takes all of Scotland’s income and W’minster decides what to give us back. W’minster sets Scotgov budgets despite which Scotgov has avoided NHS strikes +lift 100k children out of poverty.

The relative effectiveness of Scotland’s health services – so different from what Unionist politicians and their MSM allies portray in their gaslighting of Scotland’s electorate! talkingupscotlandtwo.com/2024/05/09/the…

The Labour Party is clearly rattled by John Swinney becoming SNP leader.

They know they’ve shot themselves in the foot - Swinney is head and shoulders above Starmer and Sarwar.

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 John Swinney: 'I joined the SNP as a teenager and, like many others, worked hard to keep the cause alive throughout the 1980s when independence seemed a very distant dream.

Independence is more essential & urgent than ever before.'

Tell us there is absolutely no difference between the Tories and Labour, without telling us there's absolutely no difference between the Tories and Labour!

‘‘We are not genetically programmed in Scotland to make political decisions.’’

One of these two women is welcome in the Labour Party as an MP under the Sir Keir Starmer leadership.

But it’s not the lifelong progressive #DianeAbbott who stands up for workers’ rights. It’s the Tory with poisonous views.

For those who want to see this appalling U.K. Government thrown out of office, but who fear Starmer will mean no change for our public services, and who want Scotland’s voice to be heard, the message is clear #votesnp #voteforindependence

Is there anyone Sir Keir Starmer and his Labour leadership won’t welcome? They’re now opening their door to a procession of right wing politicians with hideous voting records. All now apparently at home in Labour.

While Scottish Labour are threatening to scrap free tuition fees, free bus travel and free prescriptions due to the cost, BBC Radio Scotland are asking if Scottish Government should be helping to pay for weddings!
What planet do our broadcasters live on?

SNP cllrs just voted to kick the two Tories out of the Edinburgh council administration. For the second year running, Labour voted for them to stay. Labour were voted in by the Tories; their budgets pass with the votes of the Tories. The city's tawdry Labour-Tory deal continues.

John Swinney .John Swinney: “One of the issues facing Glasgow City Council has been the resolution of the equal pay disgrace, presided over by the Labour Party!

Women were let down persistently, Labour went to the courts to challenge their claims. They should be utterly ashamed!” #FMQs
