"This result has significance for the whole of Scotland" Anas Sarwar writes for the Record dailyrecord.co.uk/news/politics/…

Branch office update.

Today Labour is backing the biggest nuclear programme in a generation. While the SNP blocks thousands of skilled jobs with their outdated, ideological opposition to new nuclear power Scottish Labour will deliver a new direction. scotsman.com/news/politics/…

One of those at the meeting said: “The Presbyterian schoolmaster might fly in Perthshire — but in the rest of Scotland it just does not land. Stabilising the party only works for a short time. There is no energy, no fire, no boldness, no long-term vision.”

Whoever thinks Scotland wouldn't benefit from new leadership doesn't have their country's best interests at heart.

No more talk about austerity. Scotland will receive £52 billion by 2029 as part of Rachel Reeves' spending review - “the largest settlement in real terms since devolution was introduced" dailyrecord.co.uk/news/politics/…

The Greater Manchester Combined Authority has bought more buses from Alexander Dennis in Larbert than the Scottish Government - who buy more buses from the People's Republic of China.

This is incredibly concerning for the workers and community. I will continue to fight for a solution that avoids closure. It's utterly infuriating considering the Scottish Government’s recent ScotZEB2 funded four times as many buses from China than from Falkirk.

Horrendous news of the continued deindustrialisation of Scotland. Why did the SNP government fund 4 times as many Chinese buses than Scottish ones in the Scottish Zero Emission Bus Challenge Fund Phase 2? The SNP government standing against Scottish industry and workers.

Awkward questions for the SNP Government over the future of Alexander Dennis. Andy Burnham says Manchester has 160 new buses, built in Scotland, running across the region. “If Manchester can invest in world-class Scottish bus manufacturing then why can’t the SNP Government?"

John Swinney standing absolutely rattled in front of mostly deserted SNP benches. Taxi for John.

Alexander Dennis job losses: Sarwar says SNP ‘put foreign firms before Scots workers’ heraldscotland.com/news/25234282.…

We are over a quarter of the way through the 21st C.

Scottish manufacturing hollowed out despite warning after warning. But don’t worry - Independence is ‘within reach’. Let’s get rid of this failing SNP government and get Scotland working again.

Proper industrial planning to secure jobs, improve infrastructure and get the country working. This is what we need in Scotland.

After defeat in the by-election and with an internal rebellion, John Swinney has hit the independence panic button. As one SNP MSP said of him: ‘No energy, no fire, no boldness, no vision’. Seems they are right.

Brutal from Patrick Harvie at #FMQs. He says he genuinely struggles to "think of a single signature policy that shows ambition and leadership" from John Swinney after a year in the job.
