Thousands of teachers are stuck on precarious contracts because the government has completely mismanaged its workforce plan, training extra teachers without being able to employ them. The latest figures showed less than a quarter of newly-qualified teachers were able to find a permanent contract.

The best part of two decades on from the SNP promise to replace the council tax, they have barely moved an inch forward. Ministers have come and gone, claiming that they wanted to listen to other parties' proposals, without ever proposing a serious way forward.

I spoke to STV news about the fire at the Lower Melville Wood recycling centre. I am grateful for the response of staff at the site and the ongoing work of the Fire and Rescue Service, and have written to Cireco to ask for updates and a review of the site's operation.

Over the last five years a total of 17,811 children were trapped in temporary accommodation for longer than a year. That represents a catastrophic failure by the SNP and whoever is in government after the election needs to commit that it won't happen again.

After being re-elected as the MSP for North East Fife I was straight back to work, making visits across the constituency the day after the results were declared. Thank you again to everyone for your support and for allowing me to continue my work representing this fantastic area.

There was consensus in the Scottish Parliament last year that an independent national review of maternity services was necessary to address the serious failures which were highlighted and to restore confidence. Now however the Scottish Government is pulling back.

The SNP government has failed to get a grip of the crisis in NHS dentistry and services are still struggling. Ministers were slow to recognise the scale of the challenge and have been reluctant to accept responsibility.

We celebrated all our election wins at Newhaven Harbour in Edinburgh with @eddavey.libdems.org.uk and @alex.scotlibdems.org.uk Thank you to everyone who voted for us across Scotland.

I spoke in the final debate on the Visitor Levy Bill, which gives local councils the flexibility to implement the levy as a flat charge. I talked about the strengths of the tourism industry but also urged caution on the part of councils which are considering implementing the measure.

I set out my support for Daniel Johnson's bill on restraint and seclusion in schools. It is an important step to bring guidance onto a statutory footing and to give it the priority that it deserves. 1/2

Did you watch the video? Ben-Gvir was actually there and engaged with what was happening while the hostages were being abused and humiliated. He's even pointing at and being verbally aggressive to a person whose hands are zip-tied.

Everybody is arguing about the face on the bill. Meanwhile people are trying to figure out how to pay the bills. Wrong conversation. The question isn't who's on the currency. The question is what the currency can actually buy. I've been talking about backup plans, community, skills, and preparation

People act like poor people make uniquely bad decisions. The difference is rich people can survive theirs.

As climate change pushes summer heat into the school year, many schools are struggling to cope with overheated classrooms and inadequate cooling systems. Oil and gas executives turned up the heat in these classrooms — they need to pay their fair share to keep students safe.
