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.

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.
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
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. 🏴
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.
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. 🏴
Tomorrow, Scotland’s future is in your hands. This is what I offer as your First Minister. 🏴
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.
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.

Luke Akehurst tries to ward off a leadership challenge by saying it would increase pressure for a snap general election & what Labour needs to do is stick to delivering the program they were elected on Where in the manifesto did it say you'd restrict our right to trial by jury?
Due process is fundamental to our constitution. Democracy doesn’t exist without it. Trump's continued purging of immigration judges who don’t follow his demands is a blatant violation of due process. We must pass my legislation to get immigration courts out of the Executive branch.

Trump’s new Defense plan quietly outlines a “National Guard response force” trained in crowd control and civil unrest, to be deployed across all 50 states by April 2026. Let that sink in. They’re not preparing to leave office; they’re preparing to lock the country down.
