📢 A new report shows Scotland will be the only part of the UK where child poverty falls over the next four years. If the UK followed our lead, 800,000 fewer children would be in poverty. Action, not excuses, delivers results. Westminster must step up.

We’ll be back

The SNP is advocating for a social tariff for energy consumers to help cut household bills. The UK Labour Government must step up to the plate & help make this a reality. People need help during this cost of living crisis.

Event map for the Tall Ships race visiting Aberdeen this summer has been announced. I’m signing up to volunteer, like my grandad did when they last visited in 1991 and 1997. Looks like it’s going to be a mad few days.

Love them or loathe them it was really great to see the Aberdeen letters moved to there new location tonight #abzletters ❤️

I’m looking forward to SPECTRA next week in Aberdeen. It always illuminates the city and offers a welcome reminder that spring isn’t far away. And it’s free to visit from February 6 to 9! #SPECTRA #Aberdeen

How ironic for Scots that @RachelReevesMP is giving her speech at a German MRI magnet factory when the first practical working MRI system was developed at Aberdeen university but the UK financial sector wouldn't support the plan to build an MRI factory there. @StephenFlynnSNP

His Majesty’s Theatre, the Music Hall & the Lemon Tree are a trio of great Aberdeen institutions run by Aberdeen Performing Arts. I am really pleased that today APA received over £1.6 million of funding over three years from Creative Scotland to carry on their fantastic work.

Oui, oui, oui

Immigration is more of a positive than it is a negative. Not just financially but culturally.

📉 ONS data has shown how disastrous right-wing immigration policies would be on Scotland in the long term. 🔍 Scotland urgently needs more immigration to tackle rural depopulation, support public services, and grow our economy. 👉 More: https://buff.ly/4hh0IEB

“Brexit made the UK an early victim of this reactionary politics which, instead of making this country great again, has already made it poorer and lonelier. Who knows what further damage may be awaiting our younger generations.”

It’s time for THE charger. Today, the USB-C becomes officially the common standard for charging new mobile electronic devices in the EU. It means better-charging technology, reduced e-waste, and less fuss to find the chargers you need! #DigitalEU

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 37,805 Scottish students accepted to Scottish Universities this year - the highest number on record! 👏🏻 There has also been an 11% increase in acceptances from Scotland’s most deprived areas. 🥀 Unlike Labour, the SNP will always fight to keep tuition fees free in Scotland.

🌿 He also met with Fallin Community Voice who are doing amazing work with the community garden. 👏 Thanks to Evelyn Tweed and @alynsmith.bsky.social for joining.

Susanna Reid with a message you rarely hear amid all the "stop the boats" and "smash the gangs" stuff. “Successive governments have failed to tell a positive story on immigration. We rely on immigration to run our public services, to grow our economy." www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/susann...

This week we learned that the number of Scots students entering Scottish universities is at a record high. Also, more young people from disadvantaged backgrounds are entering higher education. Remember that tuition is free because of your SNP Government.

📢 New stats reveal record-breaking literacy and numeracy achievements in schools. 📉 The attainment gap in literacy is now at a record low. 🤝 We’re working hard to close the poverty-related attainment gap - improving opportunities for the next generation.

📢 Scotland’s young people deserve the best education, and our budget delivers: ✅ £158m uplift for education – an above inflation increase. ✅ £29m to improve ASN support. ✅ Expansion of Free school meals for P6 & P7's in low-income families.

I have written to the Prime Minister to urge him to follow your SNP Scottish Government’s principled lead to scrap the two child benefit cap in order to reduce child poverty.

💛 SNP Leader @johnswinney.bsky.social joined our candidate Paul Steele in Cairneyhill ahead of this week’s by-election in West Fife & Coastal Villages. 🗳️ A vote for the SNP on Thursday is a vote to put local interests first and stand against cruel Labour policies like the Winter Fuel Payment cut.

The annual Reclaim the Night march took place in Aberdeen tonight. We marched together, demanding systemic change and reform to the systems failing women victims. Action is needed now!

"The value of fine art and antiques imports to Britain fell by 16% year on year in 2023, taking its global share down to 7%. From 2018 to 2023, British art exports fell by 32%. Before Brexit, works were routinely imported to the UK and then shipped on to other European countries at no extra cost."

It took 13 years to build a following of nearly 300k on Twitter, and that reach was really useful for charity stuff and so on. It will take a lot of time to replicate that here, but I'd rather that than have to endure a daily hate-fest. I'm capable of scrapping in one, but It's just not interesting
