I’m very pleased that
@JohnSwinney
is considering going forward to be next leader of
@theSNP
and First Minister of Scotland. 🏴
He is profoundly experienced and a unifying figure with a deep commitment to public service.
He has my wholehearted support.

Humza as dignified & principled today as I’ve always known him to be.
In particular, he can be proud of fearlessly standing with those suffering in Gaza, while other national leaders were shamefully silent.
He has much still to give. For now. I wish him, Nadia & family well.

Our progressive approach to taxation has delivered services & benefits which aren’t available elsewhere. It’s also helped us insulate public services amid UK austerity.
I’m v pleased people continue to opt to move to Scotland, contributing to our tax base, economy and society.
Thousands more taxpayers moved to Scotland than left each year in the period after Scottish Income Tax was brought in, an HMRC study has found.
Average net migration from within the UK was 4,200 every year from 2017-18 to 2021-22.

The visa threshold of £38,700 is arbitrary, unfair and discriminatory. It is a tax on marriage – a shocking policy that punishes people for falling in love with someone from abroad.
In an independent Scotland, we will welcome people, not turn them away at the door.

The opening of

’s new Glasgow Tech Centre is a mark of confidence in our skilled workforce.
Scotland has a long and distinguished history in financial services.
This investment will further bolster our international reputation as a leading financial centre.

Some coverage with helpful nuance👇
CCC were clear 75% by 2030 was beyond possible.
SNP minority gov proposed 70%.
Oppo’ amendments saw 75% pass.
The target has driven huge progress but is now a block to producing next CC Plan.
Recasting to 2045 allows continued delivery.
EXCL: Mairi McAllan said she tried to keep the 2030 climate target afloat but modelling to keep it alive included "taking petrol and diesel cars off the road tomorrow", warning some options were "not legal, feasible" or "in line with a just transition".

💨 A new wind farm off the Aberdeenshire coast will provide a “massive boost” to the region, triggering up to £3billion in investment & hundreds of jobs.
🌳 Our path to a sustainable future is clear - only the SNP are serious about delivering it.

Tackling climate change is an environmental imperative & our moral obligation.
Done correctly, it also presents an era defining socioeconomic opportunity for Scotland.
Pleased we’ve been able to consent this project- one of world’s largest & jointly led by an Aberdeen firm.

This further cements Scotland’s reputation as a global leader in floating wind technology.
@ScotGov
will invest £500 million to boost Scotland's offshore wind supply chain and create green jobs.
#NetZero
isn't just a climate imperative, it's an enormous economic opportunity.

‘Labour has "no plans for a youth mobility scheme" if it wins the general election later this year.’
Studying abroad was a formative experience for me.That Brexit means others can’t is unforgivable.
Add this to list of why Labour offer no change. And why independence is vital.

There’s no better gift we can leave the next generation than an independent country that’s theirs to create in their own image.
No one can govern our country better than the people of Scotland.
Let’s not just believe in a better future for Scotland.
Let’s make it happen.
