💡 We've got what it takes - to create jobs, to create growth, and to create a more prosperous Scotland. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 What we need is the powers of independence to realise our full potential. 🤝 Together, let's build that better nation.

Even with limited powers, we’ve made real progress in Scotland - the only part of the UK where child poverty is falling. But Westminster’s failed Thatcherite policies are leaving too many Scots struggling. Let’s build a fairer society with independence. #ScotlandDemandsBetter

Independence is normal. And if independent countries like Ireland, Denmark and Finland can be wealthier and fairer than the UK, so can Scotland.

Emulating Reform is a disaster for the Labour Party. The SNP will never follow in the footsteps of Nigel Farage. We’re focused on delivering action on the cost of living, and offering the hope of a fairer, wealthier society with independence.

So it looks like @theSNP majority in next year’s Scottish Parliament elections will mean an Independence Referendum. Good to see the Prime Minister turning up just in time to hear the Secretary of State confirming that.

"'If there's an SNP majority, it's got to be looked at in Westminster'. Who said that?" The SNP's @StephenGethins asks Scottish Secretary Douglas Alexander about the mandate for another independence referendum.

The SNP introduced free tuition and we will always ensure Scottish students do not pay tuition fees. Meanwhile in England, students pay over £9,500 a year and Labour will put fees up every year. Education must always be based on the ability to learn, not the ability to pay.

Scotland’s fishing industry makes up more than half of the UK’s total catch. Yet Labour’s new funding plan gives us less than 8% of the support. They’re gutting our industry to boost England’s - just like they have with others.

Charging people to park at a hospital is simply wrong. That’s why we scrapped hospital parking charges in Scotland. Since 2008, staff, patients and visitors to Scottish hospitals have cumulatively saved over £90 million in parking charges, thanks to the SNP. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Thousands of NHS workers across England have been issued car parking fines while they're at work, according to exclusive data obtained by Channel 4 News. Shakebah Robinson is one of those health professionals. She owed the hospital she works at £15,000 in parking fines.

Scotland’s aid budget is too modest to be about any major soft power gains, but big enough to do a tremendous amount of good in the world Reflections on @ScotGovFM @JohnSwinney visit to Malawi and Zambia this week https://t.co/lITfqWjO9m

No one will care more for this country or its people than the SNP. Scotland works best when everyone who lives here is included, valued and supported. #SNP25
