If you fail to prepare, prepare to fail. Surely 18 years of knackered SNP government has taught you that @DaveDooganSNP
Maybe I'm unfairly suspicious of the "Secretary of State" for Scotland...🤔

Great win for our young readers!📚 After my petition and fantastic community support, Cardonald Parish Church will host a temporary library, with books being moved over so children can keep reading while the library remains closed. I will keep pushing for a full re-opening.

Great work @DavyRussell4HLS
After whipping against his members yesterday evening, the First Minister makes a U-turn to support @jackiebmsp 's proposed maternity and neonatal investigation. All my thanks to the families who have tirelessly campaigned for better. https://t.co/pM9YqaaITx

Proud to see UK support in action this week at Sheikh Zayed Hospital in Cairo. The UK in partnership with @WHOEgypt has funded training, equipment, and lifesaving care for Palestinians evacuated from Gaza. This is UK humanitarian leadership: practical action, making a difference

Excellent grassroots community activism 👇
Guy Fawkes Night Update 🎆 A busier night, but still calm overall. Police dispersed a few youth groups — most from outside Pollokshields. Our pastoral walks went well: young people were polite & moved on when reminded of the dispersal zone. Pollokshields feels safer this year.

Read @WesStreeting’s letter to the BMA Resident Doctors Committee with a comprehensive offer to increase training places, put money back in resident doctors’ pockets and improve their working lives if the BMA call off their unnecessary strikes 👇

The irony of a man standing in my hospital doing everything in his power to avoid taking responsibility for how his govt continues to fail its staff and patients. No amount of whiskey is going to make us forget analogue John is a spent force.
Sec of State for Scotland, Douglas Alexander, has accused John Swinney of seeking “photo ops” with Donald Trump while the UKG does the “hard yards” on tackling US tariffs on whisky - the FM responded today saying Alexander is the “only person on the planet” moaning about it @LBC

The letters were presented by @zubirahmed during the visit of Secretary of State for Scotland, @D_G_Alexander to Glasgow Central Mosque. Mr Alexander spoke of the vast contributions of Scottish muslims & reaffirmed the UK Government’s commitment to fostering cohesive communities.

Methinks he doth protest too much. The NHS needs the Reform party like a hole in the head. #opentoanything
I wrote Reform UK’s health policy. So believe me when I say: Labour are lying about what we stand for.

So proud this Government is backing Scottish science to fight obesity. £650k to help Glasgow Uni, Novo Nordisk & IQVIA recruit 5,000+ patients from communities hit hardest by health inequalities. The prize of this major study? Better health, fairer chances, longer lives.
🏴 Thousands of people across Scotland will benefit from a landmark study into weight-loss medicines to tackle obesity and health inequalities. @ZubirAhmed visited @UofGlasgow to see how £650,000 will support this vital research. Learn more: https://t.co/gM2Kwtla0P

Imagine how mad she's going to be when she finds out how "diverse" the army that spilt their blood to save Britain was. She wears the poppy but sadly not its values. How far the Tories have fallen.
Bought my poppy as I do every year (& always more than one as I invariably lose my paper ones!) However, horrified to discover The Royal British Legion (RBL) has a Head of Diversity & Inclusion at a wage of about £65k - that’s a lot of poppies to sell just for that non-job wage!

Great to be on the doorsteps in Castlemilk with @GordonMcKeeMP & team @ScottishLabour. Behind us, the wind turbine stands as a reminder that Labour began investing in green, clean energy over 20 years ago. 18 years of SNP failure, Scotland needs #scottishLabour to deliver.

We defeat racism by standing together. Following acts of vandalism earlier this week, Secretary of State for Scotland @D_G_Alexander visited Glasgow Central Mosque to stand in solidarity with Scotland's Muslim community.
