Yesterday, the Permanent Secretary said no target had been set for the size of the civil service. Today, Shona Robison set a target for the size of the public sector workforce. Is the civil service exempt? Or are policies being made on the hoof, without proper consultation?

SNP incompetence means back office jobs are rising three times faster than NHS jobs while police, fire and colleges are being cut. The price will be felt through compulsory redundancies. That is the price ofĀ incompetence and the reason we need a new direction with Scottish Labour

Yesterday we found out about yet more SNP waste - The Provisional Budget Outturn revealed a £324million underspend in Finance & Local Government. This waste is an insult to all those who are impacted by the cuts that this Government continually imposes on local councils.

Even the SNP backbenchers couldn’t bring themselves to clap John Swinney as he failed to answer Alex Cole-Hamilton’s question on why Scottish Government are not screening for lung cancer as it is rolled out in England

By denying access to diagnosis and refusing to prescribe the SNP is effectively privatising the diagnosis of treatment of adhd and autism. It is a scandal.

Labour’s new industrial strategy is backing British business. This plan will drive economic growth and deliver the change we’ve promised. Across the country, the Government is leading the way in promoting our national industries.

ADHD and autism services have been effectively privatised under the SNP. A Scottish Labour government will rebuild our NHS and tackle scandalous waits for ADHD and autism support. heraldscotland.com/news/25267043.…

Let’s be clear: The Scottish Government have effectively privatised diagnosis and treatment of ADHD. People without a diagnosis have no choices so if CAHMs isn't the right route, when will the Government tell us what is?

Pleased to host a reception with Scottish Financial Enterprise and Morgan Stanley to mark 25 years of MS in Scotland. From 6 staff in Cumbernauld to 2,400 in Glasgow, it’s a great example of Scotland’s financial services sector and shows the talent we have that can generate growth in our economy.

Street surgery in Badger Park tonight. Met two more families forced to go private to get help for their kids because under the SNP CAHMs waiting lists are years long. ADHD & autism services are effectively privatised under the SNP. A Scottish Labour govt will end this scandal.

John Swinney was warned a year ago that buying buses from China put Alexander Dennis at risk. Labour Mayor Andy Burnham invested in the company but the SNP did nothing. While Swinney blames everyone but himself Scottish Labour are doing what we can to save industryĀ inĀ Scotland.

We sometimes act as though technology is only relevant to the tech sector but the truth is technology is critical for every business in Scotland. I have been pleased to be engaging with firms like Arup and @prosperscot as Scottish Labour develop a new direction for Scotland.
