I was really disappointed last week not to be able to make the official opening of the new Cruyff Court in Kirklandneuk due to having to be in Parliament that day. 1/3

After a busy first week in the Scottish Parliament, it was great to be back in the constituency to meet and chat with constituents this weekend. 1/2

Today I had the honour of taking the affirmation in the Scottish Parliament as the new MSP for Renfrewshire North & Cardonald. 1/3

It is the honour of my life to have been elected to serve as the MSP for Renfrewshire North and Cardonald. I will work every day to earn and repay your trust. 1/6

Tomorrow is Polling Day. Across Renfrewshire North and Cardonald, people have been clear with me, the pressure of rising bills, the cost of food and childcare, and the frustration of not always being able to get a GP appointment when it’s needed. 1/3

Tomorrow, Scotland’s future is in your hands. This is what I offer as your First Minister. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

A re-elected SNP government will establish a ScotWind Wealth Fund so the benefits of Scotland’s renewables boom help deliver long-term energy and financial security for the future. Make it #BothVotesSNP on May 7 for a government that’s on your side.

55% Yes. But it will only happen if we vote for it. On Thursday, make it both votes SNP to elect a majority SNP government, secure Scotland’s right to decide, and put our future in Scotland’s hands.

From free prescriptions to a government that puts Scotland first, people can see Scotland does better when decisions are made here. Both votes SNP on Thursday 7th of May.

Up to £10,000 to help first-time buyers. We're unlocking home ownership for a new generation with help for renters and first time buyers. Make it #BothVotesSNP on 7 May for a Government that’s on your side.

Brilliant to welcome @johnswinney.bsky.social to Renfrew today.

Brilliant to campaign with our SNP candidate Michelle Campbell in Renfrewshire North & Cardonald. In the first 100 days of an SNP government, we will roll out the £2 bus fare cap in Renfrewshire - as well as Glasgow, Ayrshire, Dunbartonshire, Lanarkshire and Inverclyde.

Delighted to welcome the First Minster, @johnswinney.bsky.social to Renfrew this lunchtime to meet with local activists and for a visit with him to Renfrew Mens Shed to see and hear about some of the amazing work they are doing in the community and also to hear about their plans for the future.

We have the energy. We just don’t have the power. With independence we can lower electricity bills, support community ownership of renewables, and make sure Scotland’s energy wealth benefits the people who live here. Make it #BothVotesSNP on May 7 for a fresh start with independence.

A re-elected SNP government will create a Better Surfaces Fund to support councils to fix potholes, resurface roads and improve drainage, helping deliver up to £350 million of investment in better roads across Scotland. Make it #BothVotesSNP on May 7 for a government that’s on your side.

A re-elected SNP government will protect free prescriptions, free eye tests, free tuition, free bus travel, lower Council Tax, free school meals, the Baby Box and funded childcare, while going further to help families with the cost of living. Make it #BothVotesSNP on May 7.

I’m in the Highlands today, where our £2 bus fare cap is already in place. If re-elected, we will cap all bus fares at £2 across Scotland, keeping more money in people’s pockets. Make it #BothVotesSNP for real action on the cost of living and a government that’s on your side.

Great to be out & about across the constituency today People are clear that times are tough & they want a government focused on making life better for ordinary Scots That's what this campaign is about On 7 May, it is in your hands. Love Scotland. Vote for Scotland, make it both votes SNP #ActiveSNP

Great to be out in Inchinnan yesterday on a beautiful evening. As one of the local Councillors for the area, I’ve always believed our villages deserve to be heard, supported and invested in so they can continue to thrive. 1/2 #VoteSNP

Scotland has such huge energy wealth. But we need the powers to manage it here in Scotland.

Great to be back out in my old stomping ground of Penilee last night, an area I first moved to from Fife 18 years ago before later making the move to Renfrewshire. A lovely evening, even if it was a wee bit blowy. Thanks to everyone who took the time for a chat, it was greatly appreciated. #VoteSNP

When people face sky-high food costs, energy bills and petrol prices, they need a government that is focused on supporting them. While Westminster is engulfed in chaos, the SNP will act on the cost of living - capping bus and essential food prices, and expanding childcare.

Great to get along to Nethercraigs this afternoon to catch up with the Glasgow City Council SNP group and onwards for some campaigning with the group in North Pollok. #VoteSNP #SP26

Playing a game of dodge the showers on the campaign trail this morning but great to be out and about again in Renfrew, talking with local residents about what matters to them. Thanks to everyone who took the time for a chat. Less than three weeks to go until election day. #VoteSNP 🗳️

Our campaign bus is on the road - launched in Dundee and heading to Aberdeen. From a £2 bus fare cap to tackling soaring food prices and expanding childcare, we will deliver practical help with the cost of living and bring hope with the fresh start of independence. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

In serious times, Scotland needs serious leadership. The SNP will always be on Scotland’s side, working to help with the cost of living, improve our NHS, and deliver the fresh start of independence. I will be launching our manifesto at 10am - watch live on @theSNP channels.

Scotland needs a government that’s on your side. On May 7th, vote both votes SNP for a government focused on the priorities of the people of Scotland. #BBCDN

We have the energy. We should have the power to cut bills. On May 7th, make it both votes SNP for a government on Scotland’s side. #BBCDN #BothVotesSNP

Labour promised to cut energy bills. Instead, households will be paying around £700 more. If the UK government will not cut energy bills, they should get out of the way and put the powers in the hands of a Scottish Government that will. On May 7th, vote both votes SNP for a government on your side

We have the energy. We should have the power to cut bills. On May 7th, make it both votes SNP for a government on Scotland’s side. #BBCDN #BothVotesSNP

Scotland’s future should be decided by the people of Scotland. Not by Westminster. Not by Labour. On May 7th, make it both votes SNP for a government that's on your side.

Free prescriptions, free tuition, publicly owned rail and publicly owned water are worth standing up for. On May 7th, make it both votes SNP for a government that's on your side. #BBCDN #BothVotesSNP

Scotland’s future should be decided by the people who live here. Not by Westminster. Not by Labour. Not by anyone else. On May 7th, make it both votes SNP for a fresh start with independence. #BBCDN

We need to use Scotland’s energy for the benefit of Scotland’s people. It’s that simple. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Under four weeks to go until May the 7th, & no slowing down now. Brilliant to be out on the campaign trail yesterday across Renfrew & Cardonald, speaking to residents, listening to local priorities, & making the case for strong local representation. Plenty more miles before polling day! #VoteSNP

“Too many people are getting a raw deal. Too many people are struggling to feed their family, heat their homes and keep their children out of poverty. “The more growth we achieve, the more we can tackle unfairness.” www.thetimes.com/uk/scotland/...

I’m fed up with the Westminster system that means hard work delivers less and less, while people’s energy and food costs just keep going up. The fresh start of independence would mean we can use Scotland’s resources to benefit Scotland’s people. #BothVotesSNP on May 7th. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Scotland is facing an unprecedented cost of living crisis - rising bills and soaring food and fuel prices, and the UK government is sitting on its hands. The House of Commons must be recalled, so that the UK government can be forced into urgent action to support people.

I want to focus our NHS more on prevention, and detecting problems early. If re-elected, the SNP government will introduce ‘health MOTs’ in everyday places - like workplaces, shopping centres or pharmacies - to make it easier to get lung and heart checks.

Scotland is one of the richest energy nations in the world. So why are bills still through the roof? If Westminster won’t bring them down, they should hand energy powers to Scotland. And if we're returned to government that's exactly what we'll demand. Make it Both votes SNP on Thursday 7 May.

On day one of a new SNP government, I will demand powers over energy to be transferred to the Scottish Parliament - so we can cut bills, protect jobs and unlock investment. If Westminster will not bring your bills down, they should get out of the way for a government that will.

Delighted to have our Campaign Hub in Renfrew open for business, a hive of activity today as we prepare materials for distribution across the constituency. If you are passing by pop in and say hi! #VoteSNP #ActiveSNP #SP26

Continuing the campaigning in Dargavel last night for a spot of canvassing, thanks so much to everyone who took the time for a chat. #VoteSNP #ActiveSNP #SP26
