The SNP have a budget underspend of £1bn.

The situation in Sudan is catastrophic & the recent massacre at el-Fasher’s Saudi Maternity Hospital is truly appalling, but sadly not the first attack of its kind.

I asked the Minister if he could explain what more could be done to prevent such atrocities by the RSF militia.

Under the SNP Scotland’s colleges have suffered a 20% cut in the last 5 years.

These cuts threaten their ability to train our young people for new & emerging jobs.

Meanwhile, the UK Labour Govt’s £45m Youth Guarantee is helping to make sure no young person is left behind.
