While bills rise and Westminster sits back, I am focusing on your priorities. We ended peak rail fares to make your commute cheaper - putting more money in your pocket. That’s the difference the SNP makes. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

That’s peak fares away…for good.

Hats off ⁦Scottish Government⁩ & @scotrail. A policy that makes life better for all. And great for tourism. Peak rail fares abolished today. For good. Much cheaper to ride my fave railways on the planet. ⁦All aboard Independent Travel⁩. ⁦BGTW⁩ independent.co.uk/travel/uk/scot…

Today I will update Gov’s response to the Housing Emergency. My plans focus on ending children living in unsuitable accommodation as a key part of eradicating child poverty; on supporting vulnerable communities and on creating optimum conditions for confidence and investment.

Whilst the people of Gaza face relentless bombardment and starvation, the UK continues to supply arms to Israel. If you won’t act to stop the killing, you are complicit in it.

A record-breaking 2,066 empty homes have been brought back into use in 2024-25 according to @EmptyHomesScotland. Housing Secretary Màiri McAllan welcomed the report as a cost-effective and sustainable way of addressing Scotland’s housing challenges. ➡️bit.ly/SEHP_Report

Nigel Farage is the cause of the UK’s broken migration system - not the solution, says Stephen Gethins MP dailyrecord.co.uk/news/politics/…

Labour has delayed the UK budget because they don’t know how to fix the mess they made.

What’s happening in Gaza is a genocide. We will: ✅Stop taxpayer's money going to arms companies selling weapons to Israel. ✅Increase humanitarian aid even further. The UK Government must take action NOW. Read the First Minister’s speech here👇 snp.org/the-first-mini…

Keir Starmer has shafted the Scottish Parliament’s budget process. The key moment when we decide on funding for our schools and hospitals. Scotland’s Government found out via social media. When called out on it, he responded with a lie. #PMQs
