No one should face violence at work - but for too many shop workers it has become routine. Today the law changes thanks to my members bill creating a specific offence and statutory aggravation for abusing or assaulting shop workers. @UsdawUnion

When we came into government there was no plan for Grangemouth from either of Scotland’s governments. We’ve worked hard to change that and today is just the start - good, sustainable jobs at the cutting edge of Scottish innovation. 👇

This morning I have lodged a Motion of No Confidence in Justice Secretary Angela Constance. She misrepresented Professor Alexis Jay on the serious issue of grooming gangs and misled Parliament. She has had repeated opportunities to apologise and correct the record, but failed

Angela Constance misrepresented Prof Alexis Jay and misled parliament on the issue of grooming gangs. She has to resign or be sacked. https://t.co/PKvoZyUrJU
EXC: The letter from Alexis Jay to the Scottish Government. Shows the child abuse expert believed Justice Secretary Angela Constance misrepresented her during a debate - that's despite the minister later insisting she did not. @heraldscotland

Transport infrastructure is no optional luxury, it is the backbone of our economy. It is unacceptable that after 18yrs of SNP government, we still have major roads where HGVs cannot pass each other. It is holding our economy back. It must end. Scotland needs a new direction.

Imagine if everything in life was as good as gold. It’s easy to invest in, could help grow your wealth, and protect it too. A timeless asset that stands strong when others may not.

Our UK Policy Chair Tina McKenzie MBE met with Chancellor Rachel Reeves to underline the role startups play in driving growth. The meeting took place during a visit to @JeavonsToffee, an award-winning small business founded at a kitchen table and now operating in Port Glasgow.

This is welcome - but it comes 2 yrs after I called for the SNP Scottish Government to do this. If individuals can’t use free bus travel responsibly- they should lose their pass. Why has it taken so long for the SNP to act?

This is more good news for the defence industry in Scotland. Parts of US Virginia Class attack submarines will be built at Rosyth. Congratulations to @Babcockplc and particularly the highly skilled at dedicated workforce at the yard. https://t.co/v1rPDATBkJ

Rachel Reeves says the UK Government is providing an extra £820m for the Scottish Government "because Anas Sarwar asked us to."

Even the most self-sufficient kids need a squad to take on the ARC. Token Black knows the value of teamwork (and a deep wallet). Rally your friends and dive into ARC Raiders to fight the good fight. If you’re lucky, maybe Token will spot you some high-end upgrades.

Scotland demanded recovery - we got SNP catastrophe instead. In six months’ time, we can choose change and a new direction for Scotland with Scottish Labour.

@AnasSarwar's right to say: ‘it wizny me’ has become a slogan of this SNP government. But today @ScottishLabour has set out plans for a renewed Scotland: 🚨A new mental health emergency service 🛠️9,000 apprenticeships for young Scots 👮360 police back on the frontline

John Swinney failed to apologise for sending Covid-positive patients into care homes - that is shameful.

At FMQs today John Swinney was repeatedly asked about what has happened to this plan, and he repeatedly dodged the question. Presumably because the plan doesn’t exist and nothing was done after the April 2024 announcement.
Màiri McAllan (then Cabinet Secretary for Net Zero & Energy) announced in April 2024 that a just transition plan for Mossmorran would be developed. Kate Forbes yesterday told parliament she would need to “double check” what has happened to that plan.

Thank you @djohnsonmsp for highlighting the work of FSB Scotland on how to deliver the benefits of Community Wealth Building. Targets for increasing spending with local and small firms and clear data are vital.

John Swinney and the SNP sent Covid-positive patients into care homes. The consequence: 4000 people died.

Scotland has talent and ambition but a broken skills system is holding us back. The SNP have abused the apprenticeship levy. They have no plan, no direction, no ideas. Only a @ScottishLabour Government can fix our skills pathway and create meaningful opportunities for every Scot.
