John Swinney

Chaired the Cabinet meeting earlier today, it’s a busy week ahead. This is how we are delivering on your priorities. 👇🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Well done Scotland on a fantastic 4-1 win today. 👏 Really excited to join the Tartan Army for the World Cup. Let’s do this! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

We cannot let Westminster off the hook in their attempts to deny Scottish democracy. It is a fundamental right of people in Scotland to choose their future, and we must have that choice.

We are delivering the best cost of living support in the UK, and we will go further by capping bus fares and essential food prices. But as energy bills rise again, the UK Government must stop dithering and act now. And if they won't, devolve the energy powers so that we can.

Hope, ambition and practical action to improve people’s lives. This is what we offered in the election campaign, and this is what we will deliver.

We will deliver urgent action to help people with the cost of living, and we will offer Scotland the choice of a better future with independence. That’s what you get from an SNP government that’s always on Scotland’s side.

I will be a First Minister for all of Scotland.

Enormous privilege to be sworn in as the MSP for Perthshire North for my seventh session in the Scottish Parliament, and I look forward to serving the people of Scotland as First Minister. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

I will build a Scotland where everyone feels seen, where everyone feels at home, and where everyone is able to contribute to Scotland’s story.

We are in touching distance of an SNP majority that will cut your cost of living, lock Farage out and secure the choice of independence - but it will only happen if you vote for it tomorrow. Every vote will count. #BothVotesSNP

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

I consistently stood up for Scotland’s whisky industry against US tariffs, and I am delighted that the tariffs have been lifted. I’m standing to lead a government that gets things done. The SNP will always stand up for Scotland. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Experienced leadership, urgent action on the cost of living, and hope over despair. This is what I offer as your First Minister. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

I want to improve the lives of people in Scotland, other parties are trying to stop us. Cut the cost of living. Improve our NHS. Secure the choice of independence. The SNP will always be on Scotland’s side.

Thanks for showing me round your farm, Cammy! I’ve been representing a rural constituency for 29 years, and I will always be on the side of our rural and farming communities.

This election is a clear choice for Scotland: experienced, reliable leadership with me and the SNP government focused on cutting the cost of living, or more chaos and distractions from Labour. #BothVotesSNP

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. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Whether you vote by post or on May 7th, use your first vote for an SNP government that will deliver more cost of living support and a stronger NHS. And use your second vote to deliver the fresh start of independence. #BothVotesSNP

As First Minister, I am offering Scotland the serious, reliable leadership we need in tough times. That’s what you can count on with me.

Under the SNP, people in Scotland get the best cost of living support in the UK. But I want us to do more, and that’s what tomorrow is about. Our manifesto will set out how we can put more money in people’s pockets, improve our NHS and deliver the fresh start of independence.

Lord Offord and Nigel Farage are trying to spread their poison in Scotland. I will have absolutely none of it. We are focused on what actually matters - helping with the cost of living, improving our NHS and treating all people with dignity.

Westminster politicians do not care about Scotland and think they can ignore the voices of people in Scotland. Let’s prove them wrong on May 7th. #BothVotesSNP

I will always be focused on your priorities and the SNP is always on Scotland’s side. Helping with the cost of living, improving our NHS, and bringing hope with the fresh start of independence. #BothVotesSNP on May 7th. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

The SNP will always be on Glasgow’s side.

More affordable homes. More rights for tenants. More support for first time buyers. We will make it easier for you to have a secure home of your own. Vote SNP on May 7th.
