This afternoon, I made a statement to the Scottish Parliament outlining the Scottish Government’s position on protecting children from harm. I confirmed my intention to establish a statutory public inquiry to consider Scotland’s response to group-based child sexual abuse and exploitation.

🙋‍♀️ Speaking in the Chamber today, I highlighted how the @snp.org’s tax policies continue to deliver a progressive approach in Scotland while generating significant revenue for public services. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Just imagine how much more we could do with the fresh start of independence.

🗣️ I spoke on The Sunday Show to share my concerns about the challenges at Dundee University. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Scot Gov is providing an additional £10 million of support to assist universities such as Dundee with navigating immediate financial challenges, on top of £15 million extra support previously announced.

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Yesterday, Scotland’s Parliament backed a second independence referendum. 👀 Not one unionist MSP made a positive case for staying in the UK. 🤔 If they’re so confident, why fear letting Scotland choose its future? Or are they worried this time the answer will be yes?

🎉 Last week, Jenny Gilruth MSP launched Mid Fife and Glenrothes' first Dolly Parton Imagination Library with the Collydean Community Centre. 📚 This fantastic initiative will see local children in the Collydean area receive a free book each month up until their fifth birthday.

💛 The @snp.org’s Scottish Child Payment is helping reduce child poverty in Scotland - the only part of the UK where rates are falling. 👉 While others target the poor and vulnerable to fund tax cuts for the wealthiest, the SNP will always stand up for those who need support most.

👀 In a week of turmoil for the Conservative Parliamentary group, Douglas Ross appeared rather rattled at Education Committee on Wednesday. 🤭 All despite my best efforts to answer the questions put to me…

🩺 On BBC Debate Night I welcomed the £21 billion investment in our NHS delivered in Scot Gov’s Budget and the introduction of GP walk-in centres. 🥀 Earlier this year Labour MSPs chose not to support this investment. 💛 The SNP will always deliver for Scotland and continue put our people first.

💛 The SNP has scrapped peak rail fares across Scotland. 👇 For local commuters, this means: ✅ Markinch–Edinburgh: Save 45% ✅ Leven–Edinburgh: Save 34% ✅ Thornton–Edinburgh: Save 42% 💛 The SNP is delivering for our communities across Mid Fife and Glenrothes.

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 I am proud of the approach that @snp.org Scot Gov has adopted to welfare spending – treating people with dignity & respect. 👉 At a time when Westminster governments are cutting support for the most vulnerable, it is right that we stand with those in need in Scotland.

Ever wonder why a simple noise dispute can cost you $100,000? The legal system is a pay-to-win game where the richest person takes all. See why the law is no longer about finding the truth, but just a costly game of who puts on the best show.
