Great campaign session Dan @dan4mstl you will make a great MSP
Great session in Penicuik with @kirstyjmcneill and @BarrieCunning! Big concerns on NHS waits, lack of investment, and the state of our roads. @ScottishLabour and @AnasSarwar will do everything it takes to fix this if we win Holyrood in 6 months.

Sadly none of the results here come as a surprise, all parties must do more to ensure women go into politics AND stay in politics.

Let’s take the politics out of this discussion and look at what can be done with Grangemouth by having both the uk and Scottish gov working together. It’s time that Scotland had a real industrial strategy that goes beyond the political term.

Although as sad as it is, I couldn’t give two hoots about a couple breaking up who led a political organisation and party, but what I do care about is the issues we need to overcome in Scotland to make things better for the ppl of Scotland. RT if you agree #Scotland2050

#Sundayshow @mmgeissler there was no fully costed or funded policy to eradicate child poverty in Scotland in the budget . We all want to see this happen but action speaks louder than words.

Hospitals across the country are under extreme pressure with flu cases continuing to rise. It's a nasty illness. Do your bit by getting your vaccinations if eligible, helping to stop the spread and protecting the health of those around you. Jabs ➡️
