New study from LSE, York & Glasgow universities shows the Scottish Child Payment is transforming lives. Without it, 70,000 more children would face deprivation and food insecurity. We will keep investing in families and lifting children out of poverty.

Great to see action from our SNP Scottish Government supporting new jobs for Grangemouth. The same can't be said for the UK Labour Government, who went back on their promises and abandoned workers at Grangemouth.

Labour, backed by Reform, the Tories and the Lib Dems, just voted to shut down scrutiny of their failing administration. They hate questions because they expose how badly they’re letting the people of Fife down. Democracy shouldn’t work like this.

Scotland's economy is moving under the @snp.org. Business investment has reached a 20-year high - while it falls across the UK - with Scotland having the most educated workforce anywhere in the UK. Imagine what more we could do with independence.

Today’s figures show real progress in our schools: ✅ Record literacy and numeracy ✅ Higher attendance ✅ More teachers, with smaller class sizes Huge credit to pupils and staff. We will keep driving improvement for every young person in Scotland.

With record results in literacy and numeracy, we’re giving every young person the skills and confidence to succeed.

Norway used its energy wealth to build one of the most prosperous and fair societies in the world. Scotland can do it too, with the fresh start of independence. Get involved: snp.org/energy

Our NHS still faces challenges after the pandemic, but we’re making real progress: ✅ Reducing long waits ✅ More operations ✅ More GPs Thank you to our NHS staff for all your hard work. 👏

From today, over 96,000 unpaid carers in Scotland will receive a £293.50 Carer’s Allowance Supplement payment - extra support that’s only available here in Scotland. Dignity and fairness in action. That’s what you get with an SNP government.

Last year’s martial law attempt in South Korea showed the world how fast things can go wrong. Democracy doesn’t protect itself - we must fight against authoritarianism every time it shows up.

The progress we’re making in our NHS, explained in 25 seconds. 👇

Scotland’s future lies in looking outwards to the world - not clinging to Westminster. An independent Scotland should build strong ties with China, instead of being dragged into England and America’s fear-mongering.

So pleased to host young people in Bute House today for an important discussion on eradicating child poverty. Thank you for setting out your views so powerfully. We’re working to support families and reduce the cost of the school day - and we’ve made real progress, but there’s still more to do.

Scotland has once again been left as an afterthought and families left to pay the price for Labour Party failure.

What happened to the £200m promised from the National Wealth Fund for Grangemouth? Labour can’t be trusted to back Scottish businesses and workers - only the @snp.org can. #Budget

This is a treasury in crisis. The independent OBR published its forecast before the Chancellor started her statement - showing a lack of confidence in her economic plans. No confidence in her plans. No credibility. A government in chaos from day one. #Budget

Scotland raises ~£91bn annually and remains a top destination for foreign investment. Onshore GDP grew 1.1% last year, and it was the UK's top FDI location outside London. The OBR forecasts show the UK economic model is weak - but Scotland’s economy remains strong.

We're continuing to make real progress in our NHS. Waits for treatment have fallen for the fifth month in a row.

We're continuing to make real progress in our NHS. Waits for treatment have fallen for the fifth month in a row. More to do, but our plan is working.👇

6 months until the election. Let’s build a fairer, more prosperous, more affordable country. An independent Scotland. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

First preferences in Buckhaven, Methil & Wemyss Villages show strong support for @snp.org, while Labour’s vote collapsed to third. It’s clear that Fife is rejecting Labour and Reform - and will do the same in May next year. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Anne Marie Caldwell wins in Buckhaven, Methil, and Wemyss Villages - @snp.org GAIN from Labour.

SNP City of Dunfermline branch is now on @bsky.app! We'll be posting about our meetings, branch events, and how you can get involved in making a difference right here in Dunfermline. Join today! www.snp.org/join #SNP

Great to be out on the campaign trail with Josh Fyvie, our energetic candidate in the Stirling East by-election. Only the SNP delivers real support to people struggling with the cost of living and offers the fresh start for Scotland with independence.

The SNP introduced free tuition and we will always ensure Scottish students do not pay tuition fees. Meanwhile in England, students pay over £9,500 a year and Labour will put fees up every year. Education must always be based on the ability to learn, not the ability to pay.

Great to see this investment coming to Scotland. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇨🇳 China is a global leader in renewable energy, and MingYang’s investment will bring a significant boost to Scotland’s growing green economy. Just imagine what we could do with independence.

The Westminster race to the right has left families struggling while the rich get richer. We can build a fairer future. A fresh start with independence. Join me at 3pm as I set out that hopeful vision for Scotland.

Scotland is a nation. And like every nation, Scotland has the right to decide its future. Together, let’s make Scotland’s voice heard. Sign here: yes.scot/decide Team Dunfermline SNP at #SNP25.

Great to listen to Ivan McKee MSP and Stephen Boyd, director of @ipprscotland.bsky.social, at #SNP25 speak about a modern industrial strategy for Scotland and what public policy can do to maximise economic and social benefits from industrial development in Scotland.

While gutted amendment A fell, the @snp.org now has its Holyrood strategy to win and obtain independence. Honoured to have spoken in favour of the amendment and tried to get it passed. Thanks to #SNP25 for having this debate on the party’s strategy for independence.

I’m standing to be your @snp.org NEC rep in Mid Scotland & Fife. Scotland needs fresh energy and the courage to bring the wider independence movement together. If you're going to #SNP25 Conference, vote Kieran MacNeil for NEC - let's reignite hope for independence.

I welcome this agreement between the SNP and BiS - a great step towards working with the wider independence movement. We must bring all pro-independence parties and organisations together. By working together, we’ll make the case for an independent Scotland. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Seizing a humanitarian flotilla in international waters is an act of state aggression and a breach of international law. Israel must be held to account, and the UK government must act now to secure the release of the Scottish nationals kidnapped by Israeli forces.

2026 cannot be treated like 2011. The political landscape has changed drastically, and our strategy for independence has to change with it. Here’s why I’m backing the Tweeddale amendment at SNP conference 👇

Good news from the latest stats: unemployment is falling in Scotland, and remains below the UK. But Labour’s rise in employers’ national insurance still holds us back, making it harder for businesses to hire. It’s a tax on jobs and it must be reversed.

I’m standing for NEC to make sure our members and activists are heard, branches are supported, and that independence stays at the heart of our movement. With your support, we can build a stronger party - one focused on delivering independence. Read my full statement below. 👇

Just landed from the US after a round of productive meetings, including with President Trump, pushing for a better deal for our Scotch Whisky industry and standing up for Scotland. More on this at my press conference at 2:30pm.

Great to see First Minister @johnswinney.bsky.social in D.C., standing up for Scotland's interests and pushing for no tariffs on Scotch Whisky. Scotch Whisky is one of Scotland's largest exports and accounts for thousands of jobs and contributes billions to Scotland's economy.

Good morning from Washington DC. I am here with Scotch Whisky Association to try to get the best deal for the industry. It’s about jobs, investment and fighting for what’s best for Scotland. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 🇺🇸

Labour, Tories and Liberal Democrats are all on record stating that Scotland’s future should be Scotland’s choice. So here’s the question every Scot deserves an answer to - what’s changed? It's your right to decide - sign the declaration. www.yes.scot/decide

🚂 Peak fares are now scrapped! 🎫 From today, all ScotRail customers will pay the same fare on their journeys no matter when they travel. 💷 This means an anytime day return ticket from Dunfermline to Edinburgh will cost just £8.50! 👉 Find out more: shorturl.at/pcR9E

📢 John Swinney MSP: “What is more depressing is that the UK Labour Government are so weak, so devoid of values and so out of ideas that they are willing to go along with it in an attempt to secure political gain.” www.thenational.scot/politics/254...

The Westminster system made people poorer with austerity and Brexit - and now it’s trying to distract from those failures by scapegoating people who have been through unimaginable hardship.   It is pathetic, it is cowardly and I will have no part in it. #RefugeesWelcome

🧵 Immigrants are not the problem. The real issue are those exploiting fears - weaponising immigration under the guise of "protecting women" or "protecting their culture." Immigration is being used as a political football yet again by those who are responsible for this mess.

Thanks to Scotland’s @snp.org government, young people in Scotland are achieving more in their English and Maths exams. Our education system is delivering for Scotland and narrowing the attainment gap for students across the country.

Thank you, John, for speaking up on this. We must do more to end the famine and genocide happening in Gaza at the hands of Israel. We need urgent action for peace and aid now.

Grateful to people in Lerwick for your questions and thoughts on Shetland’s future, hosted by local SNP candidate Hannah Mary Goodlad. The challenges and opportunities here are unique - and it’s vital we listen and empower communities to deliver the best future for the islands.

🧵 The SNP must always stay member-led. I am an SNP member and will be until we get independence. I'll campaign for my SNP candidates in constituencies. But I'll never campaign on "Both Votes SNP." Not because I don't believe in the SNP, but because I believe in independence.

🧵 43 branches - including mine - backed a resolution on a real strategy for independence that is possible for the 2026 election. And yet, conference officials have blocked it from being on the provisional agenda for the Annual Conference. shorturl.at/H9RXJ
