The 'Inspiration' train, celebrating 200 years of railway history, is in Aberdeen tomorrow and Monday, if you're looking for something to do with the kids during the October break www.scotrail.co.uk/about-scotra...

Lots of support for @jackiedunbarsnp.bsky.social and @snp.org in Northfield this evening. #ActiveSNP #BothVotesSNP

"The untapped resources of the North Sea are as nothing compared to the untapped resources of our people." – Jimmy Reid Today, @johnswinney.bsky.social opened the Energy Transition Skills Hub in Aberdeen, calling £4.5m of Scottish Government funding here "An investment in the people of Aberdeen".

Share if you oppose this latest nonsense from the UK Government

I am opposed to mandatory digital ID - people should be able to go about their daily lives without such infringements. That aside, by calling it BritCard, the Prime Minister seems to be attempting to force every Scot to declare ourselves British. I am a Scot. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

#ActiveSNP @ Northfield this morning - lots of support for @snp.org and for Scottish independence #RightToDecide

Finding lots of support for @snp.org and for Scotland's Right to Decide this week, in Mastrick and in Kintore #ActiveSNP #RightToDecide

It should be Scotland's right to decide its own figure. Sign the declaration, to give us the choice, at yes.scot/decide

"Our Saltire is a flag of welcome, and refugees are welcome here in Scotland" @johnswinney.bsky.social in Leith this morning

Us as voters can wait up to five years for a chance to change the UK Government, the 'markets' can get rid of a Prime Minister in less than 50 days. The most overlooked part of Liz Truss's legacy is how it shifted power from ballots to billionaires. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

A great day in Ellon with Nestrans (North East Scotland Transport Partnership)! We saw the work done at Ellon Wheel Park, Ellon Park & Ride and the Formartine and Buchan Way, spoke with Ythan Cycle Club, got a shot on some adaptive bikes, and then I chaired today's meeting in Formartine House.

In Peterhead today with @jackiedunbarsnp.bsky.social and Alan Petrie (on behalf of @karenadamsnp.bsky.social) Some great opening remarks from Seamus Logan MP Peterhead is a cornerstone of the North East's energy industry and it has a key role to play in our region's energy transition

Successive UK Governments have let children go hungry under the guise of "balancing the books" But there's no better investment than giving children the best start in life That's why @snp.org is scrapping the two-child cap We're using what powers we have to create a better future for Scotland

Scotland already produces more than enough energy for our needs. Folk are paying fortunes for energy to subsidise the rest of the UK. Meanwhile, if Labour want energy jobs in Scotland, why are they overseeing hundreds of jobs being lost in the North East every single week?

Thousands of people in Aberdeen today for Grampian Pride 🏳️‍🌈🌈 Over the past year we've seen why this is so important, so great to see so many people marching today

The Scottish Government are consulting on Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards in the private rented sector. Please have your say at consult.gov.scot/energy-and-c...

It's been a busy day today, campaigning across Hamilton, Larkhall and Stonehouse for Katy Loudon Still just over an hour left to #VoteSNP

Spotted in a bookshop in Inverness (was here for a meeting and having a wee wander around afterwards)

🗳 It's been great to see so many people at @AberdeenCC's Town House today, to vote in the Polish presidential elections 🇵🇱🤝🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Our city has links with Poland dating back centuries, and I'm pleased to see us supporting our city's Polish community to vote today

Come work with us!

At Woodhill House this afternoon, for a Nestrans update about plans for Aberdeen Rapid Transit, and to hear about the success of the Belfast Gliders

Warmest thanks to all SNP activists who campaigned today for @katyloudonsnp.bsky.social in Hamilton, Larkhall and Stonehouse. Great chats and a huge team effort. And thanks to Cafe Ronzio for all the coffee making tips!

NEW: John Swinney has spoken out as the UN reports that Israel is continuing to block vital aid into Gaza Read more on this here: www.thenational.scot/news/2518092...

While energy bills and living costs are soaring on Labour’s watch, my SNP Government is working to put more money in your pocket. From restoring winter heating payments for pensioners, to protecting free prescriptions, this is our Cost of Living Guarantee 👇🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Stephen Kerr just told the Scottish Parliament that median earnings in Scotland were "significantly" below the UK figure of £37,480. But he's not compared like-for-like... The full figures are at avtrinity.com/news/what-is... It shows median earnings in Scotland are £289 HIGHER than for the UK!

Some photos from campaigning across Hamilton, Larkhall and Stonehouse this week for our fantastic @snp.org candidate @katyloudonsnp.bsky.social #VoteSNP #ActiveSNP

Today, I asked @johnswinney.bsky.social about the recent job losses at Harbour Energy, who blame the UK Government's excessive windfall tax. The UK Government have ignored warnings about job losses, treated Aberdeen as a cashcow, and is undermining efforts to deliver a Just Transition.

The UK Government is failing the North East, failing to act on energy job losses, failing to invest in a Just Transition, and is treating us as a cash cow! They could change that by giving the green light to the Acorn Carbon Capture and Storage project (Video credit: @snp.org/@parliament.scot)

Let's take control of our own destiny 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

One of the many groups that were out for @katyloudonsnp.bsky.social across Hamilton, Larkhall and Stonehouse yesterday. Great to speak with lots of folk who feel that @snp.org is the only party that can be trusted to put Scotland's interests first #VoteSNP

Great to be out campaigning in A̶n̶g̶u̶s̶ Hamilton Delivering a nice big pile of supporter letters for our fantastic by-election candidate @katyloudonsnp.bsky.social #VoteSNP #ActiveSNP @snp.org

These are not just statistics, these are people’s lives being shortened, destroyed & ended. It’s time for the global community to come together & demand an end to all hostilities in Gaza. #CeasefireNow

Thank you very much to @joefitzsnp.bsky.social for his kind words Please vote Michael Hutchison #1 for Angus North and Mearns for independence

In April 2011, median full-time earnings in the UK were £26,100, equivalent to £37,398.35 in 2024. In 2024, median full-time earnings was £37,430. Across 13 years, UK wages grew by just 0.12% in real terms. Can we end austerity yet? It's clearly not working for working people!

Very pleased to get an endorsement from the SNP's former Political Education Convener, successful election agent, and general North East stalwart @DouglasDaniel Vote Michael Hutchison #1 for Angus North and Mearns for independence

Labour have just put the Tories in power in Angus Council. Your most recent reminder that, if you want to keep the Tories out, the Scottish Labour party cannot be trusted with your vote. www.thecourier.co.uk/fp/news/5227...

Delighted to have the support of @jackiedunbarsnp.bsky.social Ballot papers should now be in everyone's inboxes Please vote Michael Hutchison #1 for Angus North and Mearns for independence

Later today, SNP members across Angus North & Mearns will receive their ballot papers to select their candidate for the next Holyrood election. I'm asking members for their support, as we seek to make Scotland the fairer, more prosperous, and independent nation we all want it to be.

After 4 years of the Cost of Living Crisis 4 years of Brexit 15 years of austerity The case for Scotland's independence, and the need to escape Broken Britain, has never been greater, and is growing stronger by the day We're now at 56% 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 www.thenational.scot/news/2508945...

Business confidence is at its lowest since Truss crashed the economy. Tariffs are causing fear & uncertainty. The prospects of economic growth are plummeting. It’s time for Labour to ditch their tax on jobs & reverse their decision to hike Employer’s National Insurance.

36,371 baby boxes delivered across Grampian 24,010 baby boxes delivered across Tayside 335,675 baby boxes delivered across Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 @theSNP are investing in Scotland's future, and helping every wee one to get the best start in life 👶

It doesn't matter whether it’s Labour or the Tories in charge of the UK. The problem is the UK itself. Let's put our Scotland's future in Scotland's hands, and give our children the best possible future 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

The SNP are investing in future generations and are committed to lifting children out of poverty. Next year we'll go further and scrap the two child cap, taking even more children out of poverty. Imagine how much more we could do with independence 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 www.lse.ac.uk/News/Latest-...

We're generating record amounts of energy but far too many folk can't afford to heat their homes. The UK is fundamentally broken, and not working for us. With independence we could actually reduce bills. We have the energy, we just need the power! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Labour promised to cut energy bills by £300. Instead, bills went up in January and they went up again today. People across Scotland are paying the price of Labour’s broken promises - we deserve better.

Your regular reminder that we are poorer as part of the UK, and it's going to get worse! If you want to do something about it, then help us to take a different path, and to build a fairer, more prosperous and independent Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Join our movement at www.snp.org/join

A great wee piece here in @pressandjournal.co.uk about the Belfast Glider, which Aberdeen City Council and Nestrans are seeking to replicate in Aberdeen www.pressandjournal.co.uk/fp/news/aber...
