I recognise disappointment there will be with UK Screening Committee recommendation on prostate screening. In Scotland we are led by expert evidence on screening, however we will continue to engage as consultation runs to Feb & look at all evidenced options for early diagnosis

Tackling child poverty is my driving mission - and thanks to our actions, Scotland is the only part of the UK where child poverty is falling. Glad that Labour was finally shamed into doing the right thing.👇

We are. It’s just a shame Labour voted against it when we proposed it.
You would think the SNP would react positively to the abolition of the two child cap across the whole of the UK…

West Lothian Labour views young folk as an easy write-off 🥀 What they don’t realise is the very services our young people need (from buses to amenities to community police officers) are beneficial to everyone! Let’s finally have a Council that cares about our communities👇
A wee reminder that in West Lothian some years back when the SNP led the Council they invested in additional community police officers to support community policing only for the Labour Party to remove funding for these extra offices when they subsequently took power of Council.

We are freezing prescription charges. No one's health should be put at risk because they can’t afford their medication.
