A huge thanks to The Nurture Educational and Multicultural Society in Cambuslang for inviting me to their Iftar dinner this evening. Wonderful company, great food and as always a very warm welcome

Part of my tribute to my dear colleague, our former Health Secretary, Jeane Freeman. A woman of principle, of courage, of values.

We’re investing an extra £2.5 million to put more than a thousand additional defibrillators into communities across Scotland. We will also expand CPR training in schools, increase use of the GoodSAM app and prioritise areas with the poorest health outcomes.

We’re covering the cost of swimming lessons for every primary school pupil - so every child has the same opportunity to be more confident in the water. Make it #BothVotesSNP on Thursday 7th May 2026 for a Scottish Government that is on your side.

I know frustrating the 8am rush for a GP appointment can be. That’s why we’re opening 16 new GP walk-in clinics across Scotland, open 7 days a week, 12-8pm - and investing to recruit more doctors. I will leave no stone unturned to make sure the NHS always works for you.

What a great morning and afternoon in Blantyre! Fantastic to chat with so many people on the doorsteps. Thank you to everyone who spoke to us. And huge thanks to the YSI folks who joined us today too. @thesnpmedia.bsky.social

Good to meet with WASPI women in Parliament today. It’s shameful that Labour promised them the compensation they’re due, but abandoned them in government. The SNP is proud to stand with WASPI women and we will keep pressing for the justice they deserve.

🎉 @clarehaugheysnp.bsky.social will mark Ruthglen’s 900th anniversary as a Royal Burgh in Parliament later today. Tune in here: www.scottishparliament.tv

Glad to hear Mayor Zohran Mamdani is considering a baby box scheme in New York. The Scottish Government has sent over a Baby Box to share our experience and hopefully offer some inspiration. Since we launched it in 2017, I’m proud it’s giving every child the best start in life. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

🧵 Hey psst, they don't want you to know...

Delighted for you Zoe 🥳

2. @clarehaugheysnp.bsky.social to ask The Scottish Government what assessment it has made of the warning from @scottishcare.bsky.social that the UK Government’s immigration proposals risk destabilising care provision in Scotland.

Scotland is leading the way for families thanks to the policies of your SNP Scottish Government. #VoteSNP 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

The UK Labour government’s Spending Review proves it yet again: To Westminster, Scotland is an afterthought. Here’s why 👇

Loads of fun to be had at Spittal Primary School Summer Fayre. Cllr Carol Nugent and I thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Thank you to all the parents, carers and teachers who organised such a successful event again.

Eve of poll is always a busy day. I spent today speaking to voters across Hamilton,Larkhall & Stonehouse campaigning for @katyloudonsnp.bsky.social @snp.org Tomorrow voters have the opportunity to elect an MSP who will always stand up for them and who is on their side. Vote Katy Loudon

🏫 Great to get along to Bankhead Primary School today with Councillor Janine Calikes. Thanks so much to the pupils and staff for their questions as part of their ‘Developing Young Workforce and Skills week’.

The Scottish Labour Leader blames his own campaign team for his invisible candidate. People don’t want excuses, they want to hear from those vying to be their next MSP. Sarwar doesn’t even know his own candidate’s name. Labour has given up. #DavyHamilton 👇

A bit windy out there today on the campaign trail but plenty of blue skies too. Good to see @katyloudonsnp.bsky.social posters are going up in the Hamilton, Larkhall & Stonehouse Constituency. On June 5th #VoteKatyLoudon @snp.org

Good to be out campaigning with @johnswinney.bsky.social and @bobdorissnp.bsky.social for @katyloudon.bsky.social @snp.org News travels fast and the Labour candidate refusing to attend by election hustings is not going down well with the electorate

We are proud of our diverse communities who chose to make Scotland their home. And unlike Labour, the SNP will never imitate Nigel Farage. We will confront him, and we will defeat him.

Only the SNP will stand up for Scotland.

Today’s travels took me to Hamilton, Larkhall and Stonehouse to spread the message that Katy Loudon is without doubt the best equipped to represent these South Lanarkshire communities in our Parliament. #VoteSNP 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Another session almost complete for @snp.org @katyloudonsnp.bsky.social - now done. Great to speak with many folks on the #Hamilton doorsteps who are looking forward to voting for Katy

Out on the doorsteps in sunny Hamilton, Larkhall and Stonehouse Constituency campaigning for @theSNP candidate @KatyLoudonSNP 🌞

Very pleased to support the introduction to the Scottish Parliament of @markruskell members bill to ban #greyhound racing. It’s more than time to end greyhound racing for good in #Scotland

Delighted that Katy Loudon will be the SNP’s candidate for the forthcoming Hamilton, Larkhall and Stonehouse by-election - campaigning to win the seat represented by our dear colleague Christina McKelvie. #VoteSNP @snp.org

An absolute pleasure to join Rutherglen Bpwling Club for their opening of the greens this afternoon. Good luck to all the members for the coming season.

NEW: Scottish Labour have delivered campaign leaflets for an upcoming by-election in Scotland misspelling the word 'Scottish' 🗣️ 'Embarrassing and unprofessional'

Labour & Tory PFI schemes will cost Scotland £544 million in 2025/26. That’s money ripped from public services to line private pockets - pushing up Council Tax across the country. We scrapped PFI. Labour want to bring it back. Don’t let them.

Child poverty numbers in Scotland have dropped by 4% since last year - now lower than any time in the last ten years. ✂️ Westminster decisions will plunge more children into poverty, undermining our work to tackle it.

📉 Resolution Foundation has shown the UK’s poorest households will be £500 a year worse off over this Parliament with Labour’s Spring Statement. ❗ While the SNP is successfully bringing down child poverty in Scotland, again it's held back by Westminster exacerbating the problem

Lovely to pop into Rutherglen institution, Buon Appetito! The café has recently celebrated its 50th anniversary of being in its current location in the Arcade. I’d submitted a motion to the Scottish Parliament to congratulate all involved for reaching this brilliant milestone.

An absolute pleasure to attend the Scotland GAA Gala Fundraiser this evening. Raising funding and support for the redevelopment of Pearse Park #Cambuslang . Well done to all the organising team for putting on such a fantastic event

Here's your first look at tomorrow's front page 📰 'A new era of austerity' 🥀

Labour’s cuts will plunge a further 250,000 children, disabled folk & vulnerable people into poverty. Labour has not only slashed the social security safety net, they have also set it on fire for good measure. Red or blue, Westminster never changes, poor folk always suffer.

Equal work deserves equal pay. Ahead of tomorrow’s spring statement, The SNP have called for the Chancellor to make minimum wage the same for all ages.

This is an important initiative that has my full support. Please help if you can 👇

Congratulations to Cllr Carlin 👏👏👏

Labour: "We're delivering things the Tories said they would, but didn't deliver. That's why people are saying, what's the point of the Conservative Party?" With Labour boasting about delivering Tory policies, what's the point of Westminster?

The “Change” a Labour Government has brought- cut the winter fuel payment for pensioners, blocked compensation for #Waspi women, continued the two child benefit cap, slashed international aid, and is now planning billions of pounds of welfare cuts.

Anas Sarwar promised Scotland would be at the heart of a Labour UK government and that he would be a voice for Scotland. But it turns out he's refused to even lift a finger to help tackle major issues facing Scots: ❌ No calls ❌ No emails ❌ No action

It’s Scottish Apprenticeship Week. I visited Dalkia who are part of the energy generation company EDF in #Rutherglen to meet with their apprentices & hear more about Dalkia’s apprenticeship programs covering a range of different careers from engineering, manufacturing to electricians & data analysis

Huge thanks to Fernhill School for inviting me to visit this morning. Some really interesting questions from pupils during a Q&A and it was great to hear more about their work becoming a ‘Rights Respecting School’!

This is change?

Over £4 million in grants for a myriad of projects and organisations across Rutherglen Constituency from the Community Fund. Making a huge difference to lives and opportunities locally
