We are expanding free school meals, making 6,000 more high school pupils eligible from the beginning of the next school year. It will save families around £450 per child every year and help tackle poverty. Watch First Minister John Swinney explain more.

Yet, we don’t see much media coverage about how well the Scottish government is trying to eradicate child poverty in Scotland. Scotland doesn’t only need independence, we also need impartial media coverage about Scotland.

Nothing angers me more than listening to desperate politicians such as Anas Sarwar attack the NHS for the sake of political point scoring. Both I and my wife have had far too much need for the NHS over the last few years and I would defend it with every fibre of my being.

The RAF tankers which were attacked by Palestine Action aren't owned by the RAF. They're leased from a complex web of companies containing hedge funds and business associates of Donald Trump. craigmurray.org.uk/archives/2025/…

The huge area of moorland that is on fire near Dava appears to have, in places, a very intensive drainage network. I don't imagine that does much to reduce fire risk or improve peat health. Nick Kempe

Labour look set to rescue an English oil refinery, but no such sinews were stretched to save Grangemouth. Scottish workers have been betrayed, while English jobs look likely to be saved. Scotland is an afterthought - it’s time for independence. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 thenational.scot/news/25278043.…

Fires have spread to the east towards Dava Moor since yesterday. They appear to have been seeded by the high winds ☹️#Scotland #Fire

Poll after poll now shows a majority in favour of independence: x.com/ScotNational/s… In 2012 when Alex Salmond signed the Edinburgh Agreement with Cameron independence was at 28%. The Brits are not going to 'allow' another referendum. It's time to find a different route.

Labour’s behaviour towards people with disabilities is appalling. The chaos that Keir Starmer and Rachel Reeves have presided over has shown total contempt for the vulnerable. And Anas Sarwar has supported them all the way. Westminster is failing. Scotland deserves better.

👀 After less than a year in power, Keir Starmer's approval is at an all-time low in Scotland. 📋 With a never ending list of broken promises and lies, it's no wonder people have lost faith. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 We deserve better, it is time for independence.

Graduating yesterday was my biggest personal achievement yet, and I owe the biggest thanks to Scottish Government! As a working-class lass from a council house in the top 20% most deprived areas (SIMD), I got to go to uni because of a government that believes in access to all 🎓💪
