Always a joy to campaign with @theSNP friends on our shared priorities of supporting the NHS and building a better Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 with #Independence #activeSNP

Lots of @snp.org activists in Livingston today focused on protecting the NHS, tackling the cost of living and campaigning for a fresh start with #Independence #activeSNP

With the @snp.org the NHS is making progress 🏥 Waiting lists are falling and more patients are being seen sooner. Investment is boosting capacity, and a new walk-in surgery was introduced ahead of the election to improve access. Progress is being made - and there’s more to come 💛

🚫🌊 Scotland is banning wet wipes with plastic starting August 11, 2027! An important move to protect our marine waters! 📊 Over 93% public support for this ban! Let’s keep our waters clean—only flush pee, poo, and toilet paper! www.gov.scot/news/wet-wip... #BanPlasticWipes #EcoFriendly

🚝 Your SNP Scottish Government is putting money back in your pocket by freezing rail fares from April. In addition to scrapping peak rail fares for good. @snp.org on Scotland’s side

💧 Scottish households will pay £107 less a year for water than those in England in 2026/27. Public ownership means Scotland has the cheapest water bills in the UK – lower bills, better value, and water run for people, not profit.

💪 Huge thanks to all our #ActiveSNP teams out campaigning across Scotland today, making the case for lower energy bills. It’s Scotland’s energy - and it should work for the people of Scotland. If you agree, join the SNP and be part of the change: https://www.snp.org/join

From today the not proven verdict will be abolished for all new criminal trials in Scotland. I pay tribute to the tireless campaigning by victims, survivors,families & support organisation This historic reform is part of the Victims, Witnesses, and Justice Reform Act

Pleasure to visit Victim Support Scotland as they mark 40 years of service. The new facilities in Edinburgh incl a remote evidence room to support victims to give their best evidence. Also an opportunity to reflect on the passage of the Victims, Witness and Justice Reform Act.

Celebrating #StAndrewsDay with family and friends in @snp.org from across Scotland

More than 880,000 pensioners are to receive help with their heating bills this winter from the Scottish Government Winter heating payments have begun, with eligible people of state pension age set to receive between £101.70 and £305.10, depending on their circumstances. news.stv.tv/scotland/mor...

Norway’s Sovereign Wealth Fund stands at a whopping $2 Trillion because they invested in their future. We could’ve been in a similar position, but UK Govs squandered our oil wealth. Westminster never works for Scotland, it’s time for independence. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Scotland’s unemployment is falling 📉 while the UK rate rises under Labour 📈 — a clear sign of the difference the SNP is making and that Labour at Westminster isn’t working. Independence is the fresh start Scotland needs for more and better jobs. @thesnpmedia.bsky.social

Always a privilege to attend the service of #remembrance at the Civic Centre in Livingston and the @poppyscotland appeal in Parliament. Grateful thanks to Livingston Branch of @PoppyLegion We will remember them #lestweforget

Made the best of the last weekend of official summer time with @snp.org chapping doors and speaking to constituents #activesnp is also a listening SNP

This week the Scottish Parliament passed the Victims, Witness & Justice Reform (Scotland) Bill. This landmark legislation will ⬇️ - abolish the not proven verdict - create a new sexual offences court - strengthen victims rights and transparency - establish a Victim’s & Witness Commissioner

The Victims, Witness & Justice Reform Bill is landmark legislation that if passed by the Scottish Parliament will deliver historic reforms including the abolition of the widely misunderstood not proven verdict www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/scottis...

It’s our right and our opportunity to write the next chapter in Scotland’s story together.

Lovely morning/afternoon on the doors talking to constituents in Deans about @theSNP action on 👇 ✔️scrapping of peak rail fares ✔️more NHS operations ✔️more GPs & paramedics ✔️funding to more affordable homes 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Scotland’s right to choose

Peak fares on trains - gone for good - only with @snp.org

Additional £15 million into General Practice this year by @snp to tackle recruitment challenges and strengthen care in our communities. 🗣 This £15M investment is just the beginning — part of a broader commitment to strengthen primary care across Scotland 👏 A win for patients. A win for GPs.

@snp.org stands up for Justice and peace at home and abroad

Let’s….🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

A view from a favourite walk, Dunardy, a wee detour from the Crinan canal path near Cairnbaan. Look at those hills in the far distance…have a peaceful day

😡 The recent revelation that radioactive contamination was found in Loch Long is a direct consequence of decades of nuclear weapons policy forced on Scotland by Westminster. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Only with independence can Scotland ensure the removal of nuclear weapons from its shores

Celebrating the success of our young people and those who work hard to support them

An exemplary service with agencies working together, placing the needs of child victims and witnesses at the very heart of everything they do to support recovery throughout the justice journey @childrenfirst.bsky.social

@snp.org will always stand up for peace and justice at home and abroad

When you see severe weather forecast, take a moment to check in on those around you who might need additional support in an emergency, if it’s safe to do so. You can help by making sure they're aware of the support available to them during bad weather. ready.scot/prepare/get-an….

Vote SNP in 2026 to protect free tuition, no prescription charges, concessionary travel, the Scottish Child Payment and to take Scotland forward to Independence to delivery full social and economic justice

We must have a choice about our future. In 2011, a majority of SNP MSPs were elected by the people of Scotland, and an independence referendum followed.

Dignity, fairness & respect in action for people living with a disability- words put into action by @snp.org Scot Gov Now just need the other 80 plus % of welfare power! Only Independence delivers ALL welfare powers in Scotland’s hands Independence = better support 4 better lives

What kind of country do we want to leave for our children & grandchildren? A country with an economy that leaves no one behind A country that ends poverty An energy rich country with lower fuel for households & businesses Independence the catalyst for real change @theSNP

🌿 mtg at Braid House, Livingston a warm and friendly place, with staff that go the extra mile who can also provide more personal care– if you or someone you know could benefit from a bit of extra support during the day and good company! 💙 #BraidHouse #CommunityCare #WestLothian #DayCentreSupport

In Scotland over 600,000 young Scots have joined the electorate in the 11 years since the 2014 Indy referendum. The Northern Ireland Act 1998 states that no further poll can be held for 7 years on a united Ireland after such a referendum. When will young Scots get their say on Scotland’s future?

Yesterday I joined the Minister for Victims and Community Safety at the launch of the Scottish Government’s refreshed Trafficking and Exploitation Strategy.

Scotland welcomes people from around the world to live, work and build their lives in Scotland, to enrich our communities, grow our economy and support services like the NHS A one-size fits all approach to immigration fails to meet the needs of Scotland. We need Independence
