I'm delighted that in Scotland, unlike in the rest of the UK, we have avoided doctors' strikes. We're also now seeing consistent progress in our NHS: more operations, more GPs and falling long waits. More to do, but that's real progress under the SNP.

@BBCScotlandNews Peter Mandelson's friend Anas Sarwar, colonial administrator of the Scottish branch of the English Labour Party, calling for the English Prime Minister to stand down is not accountability. This is colonial theatre. Replace the manager while preserving the system. Maintain

We were used to a self indulgent Tory Govt at war with itself, constant changing of the guard letting Scotland down. Westminster went from Tory to Labour but the landscape is the same. A dysfunctional Govt at war with itself. In Scotland we can escape this mess with independence
We’re in the slightly weird situation where the Scottish Labour leader wants Keir Starmer to resign but the Scottish Secretary does not. Douglas Alexander: “Anas has reached his own decision and I respect that. My job - as Anas acknowledged today - is to make sure Scotland’s

This week has shown that Westminster is broken. Scotland needs a fresh start with independence. Vote SNP on the 7th May.

Gary Robertson has tried to link Celtic FC to the Epstein/Mandelson scandal. Why try to smear a Scottish football club instead of asking about Anas Sarwar's admitted long term friendship with the disgraced Labour peer? Shocking from the BBC Scotland presenter. @CelticFC

Anas Sarwar produced a document claiming John Swinney misled parliament over the opening of the NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde Hospital. However, Sarwar failed to produce the full document. It appears Anas Sarwar was lying.

Never forget David Cameron pleaded for the Kremlin's help to stop Scottish independence. The current British government would do exactly the same. We already know Reform and Farage are cosy with the Russians.

I urge every Scot to retweet this, regardless of politics. The Edinburgh Agreement does not contain the phrase "once in a generation." Lab and the Tories keep repeating this lie. They think all Scots are stupid enough to fall for their propaganda.

Today's statistics show we're making real progress in reducing waiting times for patients across Scotland. Long waits are down for the sixth month in a row, and inpatient and outpatient procedures are up. More to do, but it's encouraging to see sustained improvement in our NHS.
