Scotland’s fishing industry has been undermined by the UK government - again. Like the Tories, Labour didn’t even consult Scottish Government and treated our fishing communities as expendable. Only independence would give us the seat at the EU table to defend Scotland’s interests.

Congratulations to the team, club and fans! 🏆 And it’s my birthday - best present ever!

Aberdeen’s Union Street - very busy today! 🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆

Only one place to be today! 🏆

My letter to UK Gov Minister Steve Reed asking him to retract his false statements about the condition of water in Scotland. IWC was able to report we’re in a much better position than rUk with 87% “high” or “good” status. Public ownership works. scottishgov-newsroom.prgloo.com/correspondence…

If Keir Starmer believes in a respectful relationship with Scottish Government, he needs his Environment Secretary to retract his totally inaccurate comments about Scotland’s water. Our rivers are cleaner, our bills are lower - and public ownership delivers for people, not profit. 👇

His (repeated) claims are false. Read my letter to him today asking for a retraction 👉 scottishgov-newsroom.prgloo.com/correspondence…

So sorry to hear that the Scottish Parliament is to lose one of our brightest stars. All reasonable people will understand Kate’s reasons but as her deputy in the economy team I know first hand just how talented she is & what a huge asset she is for our movement. A big loss for Holyrood.

Always a joy to visit the sunny North East of Scotland. 🌞 As I travel around Scotland, I see first hand the great potential of our people and economy, but also how we’re held back by Brexit and damaging Westminster policies. The real change we need is independence.
