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 @CoopParty #notpartofthejob

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

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.

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?

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.

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.

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.
