@ScottishLabour @_MWhitfield Colleges give youngster and some more mature students the hands on skills they need to get into work, once you get get a start you gain experience and it’s easier to move up the labour ladder. Asking questions and making mistakes helps you learn

Scotland’s colleges play a crucial role in our communities and our economy, but years of neglect from the SNP have pushed them to crisis point, robbed Scots of opportunities and hindered businesses.

The SNP has cut colleges to the bone and robbed young people of opportunities. Scotland deserves better. https://t.co/qq3rhDLuI2

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.

Sarah Pochin’s comments were a disgrace. And Nigel Farage’s silence is deafening.

I’ve got straight to work with @Keir_Starmer to discuss how we will work closely together to defeat the forces of division and hate, and to reunite the country.

Great morning in Scotstoun with our @AnnieslandLab team. Spoke with two teachers who said what many feel: SNP cuts are hurting our schools. @scottishlabour has a plan to put education first again. Glasgow Anniesland deserves better, not more of the same, but a new direction.

John Swinney failed as Education Secretary and he is failing as First Minister. It’s time for a new direction. https://t.co/DIg793nd5Z

Great to attend the Commonwealth Parliamentary Climate Conference. The Climate Emergency is the defining issue of our times and we need a global approach if we are to truly tackle it head on. It was insightful to hear from our partners across the Commonwealth

No more ideological opposition to reliable, clean power and thousands of well paid jobs. On day one with @AnasSarwar as First Minister the UK Government will start to deliver on new nuclear in Scotland.

John Swinney has failed. We can’t risk a third decade of the SNP.
