Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas and all the best for 2026🎅🎄

The targeted attack on Bondi Beach yesterday was a violent act of antisemitism, motivated by extremism, on one of the most important days for the Jewish community. I offer my support and solidarity to the Jewish community in Australia, in Scotland, and everywhere else.

This morning the First Minister set out the future Scotland's renewables future can have, if it's governed by and for Scotland's benefit. Deindustrialisation 2.0 would be a disaster for people in Scotland, and we can't risk history repeating itself.

Haiti, Morocco and Brazil - worthy opponents! ⚽️ The FIFA fever is reminding me of the last time the Scotland men’s team qualified and I was lucky enough to go to the Scotland-Brazil game in France (we got beat 2-1). Won my ticket in an @snp.org raffle!

It doesn't matter what language you speak at home, or on your first day at school - if you live in Glasgow, Glasgow is your home. Farage and co think multilingualism is somehow a bad thing. I know, firsthand, that it's a strength.

Scottish Labour MPs who were recently readmitted to the Party for voting against the two-child cap last year will be pleased to see it lifted, and the Barnet consequentials for Scotland must be passed on in full. kaukabstewart.scot/the-devils-i...

Ahead of the budget, which the Scottish Government has had no clarity on, one thing I’m clear on is that Scotland’s budget and Scotland’s choices should not be damaged by the Labour Chancellor’s decisions. The budget that underpins your public services must be protected.

Following on from recent announcements on the Improving Access Fund, a reminder that Young Carer's Grant has also been extended, as part of our commitment to a Scotland where everyone can have a good and dignified life; real choices, autonomy, and access to support.

Labour blaming Reform for division and decline really is the pot calling the kettle black, and THAT’S the tea ☕️

The contrast couldn't be clearer: your SNP Scottish Government celebrating refugees while Labour's race to the right has Reform cheering them on.

We're the famous Tartan Army and we're going to USA! Massive congratulations to the Scotland team for securing their place in the FIFA World Cup 2026 last night.

I'm encouraging care experienced people to #TickTheBox on their UCAS form when applying for college or university, to say they've spent time in care. This will make sure they get the support they're entitled to - from financial assistance to help with wellbeing. @fosteringnet-scot.bsky.social

Knock knock Crossmyloof! @snp.org @glasgowsnp.bsky.social

Last week I was proud to launch the Improving Access Fund, helping empower disabled people in Scotland - read more about it here: kaukabstewart.scot/launch-of-th...

Proud that Scotland is an inspiration to an inspiring mayor - best of luck to #Mamdani and his team. The SNP have plenty more progressive ideas you can borrow 😉

Labour is putting social care at risk. The SNP is investing to protect it, because we know it matters to you.

New York is one of the world’s most diverse cities – even more diverse than Kelvin! – and it is right that that be reflected in its politics. I warmly congratulate Zohran Mamdani on his election as Mayor of New York, becoming the first Muslim and first South Asian to hold the position. 1/2

With waiting times down 7.3% and a record number of hip and knee operations being performed, today we're investing money in orthopaedics, cariology and general surgery to deliver more appointments and reduce waiting times. That's your SNP Scottish Government investing in your priorities.

If Douglas Alexander is serious about defeating racism by standing together, he should have a word with his own Labour colleagues about their own rhetoric.

I know it's hard when people in power are drawing a target on your back, but I'm fighting for you.

Wishing everyone celebrating in Glasgow Kelvin and beyond a very happy and peaceful Diwali.

We’re building a Scotland for all - an inclusive, welcoming, compassionate nation. #SNP25 Conference was full of ideas and debate on achieving a fairer, more prosperous, independent Scotland.

I know what the country I want to live in looks like, and you probably do too! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿💪

A few thoughts as we reach the end of Hate Crime Awareness Week. I have the privilege of representing one of the most diverse constituencies in Scotland, and see every day the strength, joy, and beauty our diversity brings.

🏘️ A tale of two governments: Labour now plans to slash the affordable housing target in London from 35% to 20%, while fewer than 4000 new homes have been completed there in the first hald of this year – well short of the annual target of 88,000.

Absolutely inspiring speech from the First Minister to wrap up SNP conference, and a strong - and timely - reminder of our values. Building cohesive and welcoming communities for EVERYONE in Scotland is at the heart of what the SNP is all about.

The Tories want to come for YOUR human rights. I won’t let that happen 💪

Today's Tory motion continues their pattern of wrongly blaming migrants for everything - but they can't even get the basics right. When it comes to issues as sensitive as migration, getting the facts right really matters.

I am relieved to see this, and hope that they are all well. The details of detainees being mistreated in Israeli custody are absolutely chilling, and Israel must be held accountable under international law.

This morning I wrote to the Foreign Secretary and First Minister urging them to work to ensure the quick, safe return of flotilla participants detained by Israeli forces, including my constituent. I am deeply concerned for the welbeing of the detainees and for their families at this worrying time.

Last night’s attack on the global sumud flotilla by the Israeli navy is extremely concerning. The Scottish Government has been in touch with the FCDO, which has lobbied the Israeli Government to respect international law and to protect the safety of everyone on board. 1/2

I share the horror many of my constituents are feeling at the news of the attack on a Manchester synagogue. My thoughts are with the victims and their families, and with Jewish people across my constituency and the country on this holiest of days in the Jewish calendar. 1/2

Horrified and heartbroken by the attack on a synagogue in Manchester, on Yom Kippur, the holiest time in the Jewish calendar. My thoughts are with the victims, their families and all Jewish communities. Antisemitism is an evil we must confront and stand resolutely against.

This is abhorrent, and it isn't the migration system Scotland needs. We need a system that is humane (people aren't numbers), welcoming (we don't want to put people off coming) and efficent (years in limbo is bad for individuals and employers) - and we can only deliver that system with independence.

I’ll be out campaigning in both Toryglen and Pollokshields this weekend. Pop along if you’d like to help out #activeSNP

Yesterday’s UK Government announcement that family reunification for refugees are being suspended is a cruel and inhumane policy. The UK Government can’t reduce illegal immigration by closing down the few safe and legal routes for people seeking sanctuary. 1/3

🚆 From today @snp.org is putting more money back in your pocket by abolishing peak rail fares on ScotRail trains. This means a return from Glasgow to Edinburgh will now cost £16.80, that’s 48% less compared to last week.

I’ll be out campaigning in Govanhill and around Bellahouston Park over the next few days. Feel free to pop along if you’d like to help out #ActiveSNP

Fantastic to visit Glasgow Central Station yesterday to hear about the upgrades they’ve been completing and have a tour of the roof 🚊

I’ll be out campaigning in Strathbungo and Toryglen over the next few days. Feel free to come along if you’d like to help out #ActiveSNP

🇵🇰Lovely to attend an evening of music and culture marking Pakistan’s 79th Independence Day last night.

A privilege to join the Consulate of Pakistan in celebrating the 79th Independence Day with a Flag Hosting. I'd like to wish the Pakistani community both here in Scotland and across the world a very happy Independence Day.

🧑‍🎓Best of luck to everyone either starting or returning to school today.
