So pleased to host young people in Bute House today for an important discussion on eradicating child poverty.

Thank you for setting out your views so powerfully. We’re working to support families and reduce the cost of the school day - and we’ve made real progress, but there’s still more to do.

A festive financial boost is coming for Scotland’s carers!

From Thursday, more than 96,000 carers will receive the £293.50 Carer’s Allowance Supplement.

If you haven’t had a letter or payment by 15 Dec, call Social Security Scotland: 0800 182 2222.

Whatever happened to Leveson 2? Chris Mason, Kuntsberg et al now completely out of control & Reform continue to be given a disproportionate amount of air time. This will continue until the BBC board is dismantled

My heart goes out to the folk at Harbour Energy, who are to lose their jobs because Labour won’t listen.

If they’re in any doubt about the destruction their Windfall Tax is causing then Sarwar & his colleagues should visit Aberdeen to hear first hand.

Edinburgh is getting a brand new concert hall, the Dunard Centre - for the first time in 100 years, supported by SNP Scottish Government funding.

What a delightful rendition of Caledonia by Dougie MacLean with pupils from Broughton Primary to mark the moment we broke ground. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Labour are actively stripping out Scottish economic growth in a blatant attempt to place a monkey on the back of Scotland's independence drive.
To support a party decimating your own country's future opportunitiea is a near ceiminal.pilitical.stance to take merely to keep the Brit ideology alive.

The Saltire flutters gently above the St Andrew’s Day service at Athelstaneford. Rev Douglas Hamilton made the parallel that Andrew brought people together with Jesus and the Saltire brings us all together in an inclusive Scotland.

A beautiful message for our National Day. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Yup. Sadly many Scots don't realise how many key powers are kept from Scotland by Westminster. Powers we really need to make a real difference.

I personally set up a recurring donation to LGBTYS in an earlier round of nastiness in Scotland, and if you value the "controversial" work of supporting queer young people in a society where MSPs don't want them to be, you can donate here: www.justgiving.com/charity/lgbt...

If ReformUK get into government next time then we can kiss goodbye to:

Paid holidays

Sick pay

Safer working conditions

Human Rights

Workers Rights

Unions

NHS & healthcare

Social care

Minimum wage

Among many other things.

Every person who knows a Reformer should have the conversation!.

Just imagine having to find this every month.

My health insurance premiums will more than double in January. I pay a little less than $500/month for my current silver plan.

I just reapplied and my new premium will be $1062/month.

And don’t forget: I still have a co-pay for every visit and pay for prescriptions.

The most interesting thing here is not the level of financial support that was important - it was being treated like a human being.
