New nuclear at Hunterston would mean clean, reliable energy and create well-paid jobs in Ayrshire. @ScottishLabour would end the SNP's ideological block on new nuclear and unlock billions of investment across Scotland.
UK energy secretary Ed Miliband would invite nuclear bosses to Scotland on the first day of a Labour administration at Holyrood in a push for new reactors, he has said. https://t.co/Cp2C4xYRhJ

This morning's attack is absolutely shocking. I’m on my way back to London to chair an emergency meeting, and additional police assets are being deployed to synagogues across the country. We will do everything we can to keep our Jewish community safe.

Horrific news coming out of Manchester. My thoughts are with all those affected and the wider Jewish community. Yom Kippur should be a time of peace and reflection, but instead they have been the victim of hate and violence. We must stand against Antisemitism and all forms

I’m appalled by the attack at a synagogue in Crumpsall. The fact that this has taken place on Yom Kippur, the holiest day in the Jewish calendar, makes it all the more horrific. My thoughts are with the loved ones of all those affected, and my thanks go to the emergency

Ayrshire is a fantastic place to live, work and invest - but the SNP are holding us back. The Scottish Labour Party and Anas Sarwar will help to bring good jobs to our area and invest in Ayrshire’s NHS, education and public services. A new direction for Ayrshire.
From the NHS to education, Ayrshire is being let down by the SNP but it can thrive again. Scottish Labour will deliver the new direction Ayrshire deserves.

We’re making Europe safer and Britain stronger. Our deal with Norway will put more world-class ships in the North Atlantic, protecting infrastructure and securing both nations. Supporting 4,000 British jobs for years to come, this deal shows defence is an engine for growth.

My thoughts are with all those affected by the senseless Russian strikes on Kyiv which have damaged the British Council building. Putin is killing children and civilians, and sabotaging hopes of peace. This bloodshed must end.

It is right the Prime Minister has announced a historic shift in our position - our intention to recognise the state of Palestine before the UN General Assembly in September and protect the viability of the two-state solution. https://t.co/cXipRkIs4U...

Twenty years on from the 7/7 attacks, we remember all those whose lives were lost and those whose lives were changed forever. We honour the bravery of the first responders, and the strength of the survivors. Those who try to divide us will always fail.
