Joined November 2020
🔥 Even Labour insiders admit Downing Street treats Scotland as an afterthought. 🔍 Starmer’s team keep landing blows on their own leader while ignoring what matters here. 👉 The SNP will always put Scotland first — Labour never will.

Yesterday, as Parliamentary Business Minister, I spoke for @scotgov in Stage 1 debate on a Bill that would introduce a mechanism for voters to recall MSPs. It is incumbent on current MSPs to deliver a workable system. We all want a Parliament that upholds the highest standards.

📈 2 global credit rating agencies have confirmed @scotgov as high investment grade, matching the UK & outdoing Spain, Italy & Japan. 🏴 While Westminster threatens £1bn of cuts to our budget & fails Scotland at every turn, opportunities for an independent Scotland look bright.

💷 Kate Forbes has called out Westminster's £550m handout to Labour-run Wales — with nothing for Scotland. ❌ The UK Government can’t keep ignoring the Barnett Formula when it suits them. 👉 Read more: https://t.co/yX0tAFPl2o

👶 Every day the two-child cap pushes 109 kids into poverty — a policy imposed on Scotland. 🚄 This week, Shirley-Anne Somerville will travel to London to lobby UK ministers to finally scrap it. 🏴 The SNP will always stand up for families — Labour should do the same.

📉 UK unemployment has risen to 5% — the highest in four years under Labour’s watch. 🏴 In Scotland, it’s fallen to just 3.7%, showing resilience despite Westminster’s chaos. 💪 With the full powers of independence, we can protect jobs and build a stronger economy.

✂️ Anas refuses to lobby party colleagues down south not to raise income tax and slash Scotland's budget by over £1bn. 🥀 While the SNP stand up for Scotland, Sarwar nods along with Westminster.

🥀 If Labour break their tax pledge, it will cost Scotland £1 billion. 🤥 Labour pretend to be the champions of devolution, but they are about to actively harm Scotland's public services. 💛 We can escape Westminster mismanagement - with independence.

Yesterday, in my role as Minister for Parliamentary Business, I spoke on behalf of @scotgov in a debate on how we can improve the effectiveness of parliamentary committees. These committees play such a central role in ensuring proper scrutiny of legislation across the board.

💷 Labour promised not to raise taxes — now reports say Rachel Reeves plans a hike in income tax. 🥀 Families are paying the price for Labour’s failure and Broken Brexit Britain. 💛 Scotland deserves better — a fresh start with independence, not Westminster’s broken promises.

📢 Scotland has been made safer under the SNP, with the latest figures showing one of the lowest levels of crime since 1974 - down 39% since 2006/07. ⚖️ Labour is all rhetoric and hypocrisy on Justice, refusing to back key measures in the Scottish Government's Budget.

Claims that Ninewells could lose its neonatal unit have understandably caused upset. False & irresponsible claims, which nurses have had to waste time correcting. Reality: around 10 extremely vulnerable babies a year will go elsewhere to maximise safety https://t.co/ebbC7Yyh6D

💧 The UK Statistics Authority has confirmed what we already knew. 🥀 Labour’s “Sewage Steve” misled the public about Scotland’s water quality. 🏴 Scotland’s water is publicly owned, world-class, and cleaner than England’s privatised system.

📉 SNP action sees NHS waiting lists falling in Scotland. 🔍 This comes as we announce an additional £531 million to recruit more General Practice staff. 💛 We are committed to improving the NHS and making it easier for you to receive care.
