Wishing all the very best to my fantastic Scotland colleagues as the #scottishyoungcarersfestival gets underway! Hope the hundreds of young carers from across Scotland have an incredible time having a vital break from caring roles whilst also being able to have their voices heard

I've written to Keir Starmer, Kemi Badenoch and Nigel Farage, urging them to join me in condemning Elon Musk's dangerous remarks inciting violence yesterday. As leaders, we must stand together and make clear Musk will face serious consequences for these actions.
