Labour in government are the biggest obstacle to tackling child poverty since the Tories in government: the politics of Westminster is the problem. Scotland needs to choose independence!🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

There must be no illegal occupation of Gaza. These reports would lead to more deaths across the region. The people of Gaza are being starved of food, water and humanitarian aid. The world needs to enable lasting peace with a sovereign Palestine in a two state solution.

The SNP have built new rail lines, reconnected 19 communities to the railway, and now we will make your commute cheaper. From September 1, we are scrapping peak rail fares for good.

Absolutely delighted to be selected as the SNP candidate for Edinburgh Eastern, Musselburgh and Tranent. Thank you so much to members who took part, and Lee-Anne Menzies who ran a positive campaign. Now let’s get to work taking the SNP’s message of hope to the doorsteps.

Congratulations Ben Macpherson MSP on being selected as The SNP candidate for Edinburgh North Eastern & Leith. A closely fought contest (52%-47%) but important now to take the fight to Labour.

What the actual fuck.
