The question here isn’t about how the budget passes; it’s about what you get out of it, if it does.

It is welcome to see many Liberal Democrat asks featured in today’s budget.

Fixing social care, funding our colleges, flexible childcare, support for small businesses and more.

The Scottish Liberal Democrats get stuff done, so we will always be the grown ups in the room and act responsibly and pragmatically.

In our discussions with ministers we've highlighted colleges, mental health, childcare, business rates, a fair deal for islanders and social care.

Many businesses are being faced with the prospect of massive hikes to their non-domestic rates.

Some are facing increases of over 550%.

We now need to see an immediate pause to the business rates revaluation, to ensure businesses are not hit with these eye-watering increases.

Scottish Liberal Democrats are winning the fight against the SNP in the Highlands.

The SNP's relationship with rural Scotland is broken.

The Highlands deserve better.

By backing the Scottish Liberal Democrats, you can get change with fairness at its heart.

Margaret was rushed to hospital as she’d become paralysed from the waist down.

She should have been home within 14 weeks, but she’s been in hospital for 14 months, because the care support she needs is unavailable.

It’s happening the length and breadth of the country.

Trump’s interventions in Venezuela are surely in violation of international law – yet Keir Starmer is refusing to call that out.

Standing up for international law means condemning leaders when they break it, whether that’s Vladimir Putin or Donald Trump.

Liberal Democrats are winning again.

The Holyrood election in May is an opportunity for change with fairness at its heart.

Because Scotland deserves better - and with the Scottish Liberal Democrats, you can vote for it.

No matter where you are in Scotland, you can elect a Liberal Democrat MSP on the peach-coloured regional ballot next year.

Every vote for the Scottish Liberal Democrats on that ballot will deliver change with fairness at its heart.

Shetland has some of the highest energy bills in the UK while renewable energy infrastructure dominates the isles.

Community benefit needs to be meaningful.

The Scottish Government should commit to giving Shetland its share of ScotWind leasing revenues.

For years, Liberal Democrats have fought to get us back into Erasmus.

The SNP promised a replacement for Erasmus but never delivered.

From young people to businesses, there are so many people in Scotland who have been messed around by the Conservatives’ harmful Brexit deal.

Why the Scottish Liberal Democrats voted to remove the Justice Secretary this afternoon.
