I described @HumzaYousaf as an honourable man earlier today. I stand by that and note the dignity with which he stood down today. I wish him and his family every success.

Every family in Scotland deserves somewhere to call home. That’s why I’ve announced an extra £80 million to bring empty properties back into use as affordable homes. Reducing the number of households, including children, in temporary accommodation is a priority for @theSNP .

Touring #artists are being hammered by #Brexit . Visa barriers, cabotage costs, and a host of new bureaucracy means that, for many, it is now prohibitively expensive to tour Europe - despite what we were told before being dragged out of the EU.

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.

When I tried asking experts and advocates in Scotland about puberty blockers and the Cass Review, I found few would speak. This is what happened.

The Scottish Gov needs to act ASAP to protect 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 children.A whistleblower said ‘the guidelines used to direct the Scottish service had evolved from Tavistock and could potentially lead to children having “irreversible damage through the wrong treatment”.
