🏡 We’re investing an additional £80m in Scotland’s housing sector to bring empty properties back into use as affordable housing.

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 We've already delivered 1,000 affordable homes through this scheme which is helping to tackle child poverty and reduce inequality.

I am glad to have coordinated today’s inaugural meeting the for soon-to-be All-Party Parliamentary Group on Tigray.

A huge thank you to the parliamentarians who were in attendance and for the continued support.

👇 Westminster must halt selling arms to Israel.

.Mhairi Black MP🏳️‍🌈: 'The UK's own arms policy states that if there is even a risk that war crimes may be taking place, then that is reason enough to halt the sale of arms.'

Today is a dark day for refugee rights. But the fight for compassion and #RoutesToSafety will never die.

So we rallied with MPs and Peers in Westminster to send a message to this Government: this cruel scheme is NOT in our name.

What’s happening in Westminster?

Well, two of the most privileged groups in society are deciding the fate of some of the most vulnerable people in the world.

The SNP will continue to vote tonight, at every turn, against the grubby and dangerous Rwanda Bill.

This further cements Scotland’s reputation as a global leader in floating wind technology.

@ScotGov will invest £500 million to boost Scotland's offshore wind supply chain and create green jobs.

#NetZero isn't just a climate imperative, it's an enormous economic opportunity.

Huge thanks to Refugee and Migrant Forum of Essex & London & Stuart McDonald MP for organising this important & timely discussion.

Too many people are dying or being left at risk in conflict zones like Sudan because of a refugee family reunion process that is not fit for purpose — change is urgently needed.

1/ Thanks all who joined RAMFEL’s roundtable in Parliament, marking 1yr since the Sudan war. We discussed the urgent need for the UK gov to relax visa bureaucracy & expand its definition of 'family member' for those in Sudan w/ UK based family. #KeepEyesOnSudan #SafeRoutes

There’s no better gift we can leave the next generation than an independent country that’s theirs to create in their own image.

No one can govern our country better than the people of Scotland.

Let’s not just believe in a better future for Scotland.

Let’s make it happen.

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Independence is normal.

🗳️ We #BelieveInScotland and that decisions in Scotland should be made right here, not by out-of-touch Westminster politicians.

Scotland rejected Brexit, yet Labour wants to deny our young people the opportunity to live, study, and work in the EU, all to appease hard-brexiteers.

I would expect this from the Tories, but for Labour to follow the same path is unforgivable.

I hope everyone under 30 will show their disgust at this blank refusal by both major parties to give our youth the joy of mobility in Europe. Craven surrender to a minority of ageing Europhobes.Sunak rejects offer of youth mobility scheme between EU and UK theguardian.com/politics/2024/…

A big thanks to Jamie Hepburn MSP and Stuart McDonald MP for hosting a funding workshop with us today. A really great turnout and we look forward to seeing some amazing applications.

Good luck to all good causes applying. 🍀

Speaking for The SNP on the crisis in Gaza,I questioned how the UK reconciles sending aid while simultaneously licensing weapons sales to Israel. And the best humanitarian aid for the people of Gaza would be for the UK to stop supplying Israel with the weapons that will kill them

🥀 Labour and the Tories desire to deny the people of Scotland the opportunity to have a say over their future will not hold.

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Even Gordon Brown admits, the campaign for Scotland’s independence offers a better vision for the future than anything offered by Brexit Britain.

So important that the looming catastrophe in #Sudan receives far greater attention and effort. After a year of horrendous war, millions are in danger. Thanks to all involved for organising this meeting.

At #STUC24 First Minister Humza Yousaf vowed to “stand shoulder to shoulder” with the trade union movement.

We're committed to making Scotland the best place it can be for working people by:

🔵advancing equality
🔵tackling discrimination
🔵strengthening workers’ rights

We are grateful to Alison Thewliss 🧡 for raising the MIR increase in Parliament.

It is extremely infuriating to see Ministers dismissing the plight of the families we represent and mentioning once again a nearly impossible 'exceptional circumstances' route.

We deserve better.

Keir Starmer says there isn't enough money to give nurses or Junior Drs a pay rise but is prepared to waste billions on nuclear weapons.

Only with independence can we rid Scotland of the obscenity of nuclear weapons. The SNP has an unwavering commitment to nuclear disarmament.
