After everything we've been through Scotland needs new hope not old divisions.

We don’t even know the true scale of sewage dumping because so little of the network is monitored, whereas in England 100% is monitored.

We have published plans for a Clean Water Act that would bring our sewage network into the 21st century and clamp down on discharges.

Last summer Susan Murray won back the seat of Mid Dunbartonshire with a majority of nearly 10,000 over the SNP.

In May, voters in the equivalent seat of Strathkelvin and Bearsden will have a choice, a hardworking local champion in Adam Harley or more of the same with the SNP.

The Government has deliberately turned its back on the single most effective step it could take to kick-start growth and fill the £90 billion Brexit-shaped hole in the public finances.

We need a new Customs Union with the EU to get our economy growing.

I am absolutely thrilled to be in Dunoon with our fantastic candidate Alan Reid.

As the MP for Argyll & Bute for over 14 years, Alan knows this constituency inside-out.

At next May’s election, Argyll & Bute will be a two-horse race between the SNP and the Scottish Lib Dems.

We have long called for all communities to be compensated for this SNP-led mess, but the government’s belated scheme doesn’t even touch the sides.

Communities like Mull, Ardrossan, Dunoon, Cumbrae, Iona, Islay, Jura and many others, have all been excluded from the scheme.

From the ferries fiasco to the loss of NHS dentists, Argyll and Bute deserves better than almost two decades of SNP failure.

Next May everyone in Argyll & Bute can count on the Scottish Liberal Democrats to take the fight to the SNP and deliver change with fairness at its heart.

A senior member of Reform is going to prison for taking bribes from the Russians.

We need to keep the stench of Russian interference out of our politics.

The Scottish party should now confirm there will be no bags of roubles arriving for them and their colleagues.

Rachel Reeves must take bold action to slash the cost of living, rescue our high streets, and start fixing the mess left by Brexit.

That means negotiating a new Customs Union with the EU, to grow our economy and bring in tens of billions for the Exchequer.

Thousands of people who want to get on with their lives are stuck in hospital waiting for care packages and assessments.

You can’t fix the NHS if social care is broken.

Every delayed discharge pushes up A&E waits and leaves ambulances queued outside hospitals.

We know that Nigel Farage is an admirer of Vladimir Putin.

Now a senior member of Reform is going to prison for taking bribes from the Russians.

Over the last decade, the SNP have allowed rural healthcare to take an absolute battering.

Everyone in the Highlands deserves change with fairness at its heart, and next May you can vote for it by backing the Scottish Liberal Democrats.

Pubs and your local sports clubs should be given special late-night licences to air Scotland’s games during the World Cup.

We're delighted to see the industry getting behind our plans.

We want to raise our national spirits and throw a real party for Scotland.

In the Covid inquiry report, we learned there was a small clique which dictated Scotland’s pandemic response.

There are no minutes whatsoever for the secretive meetings held by this clique, forever denying the public an understanding of the rationale behind key decisions.

Before politics I was a youth worker, and I worked with charities supporting unpaid carers.

Our unpaid carers do a vitally important job and without them our health service would collapse.

We need to give them more support so they can continue to care for the people they love.

Today on Trans Day of Remembrance we remember those who have lost their lives to transphobic violence, and reflect on how we as a society can end this loss of life.

Liberal Democrats will always stand up for the rights of everyone in the LGBT+ community.

Qualifying for the World Cup was an incredible achievement.

The government and councils now need to work together to give fans the best experience.

Huge fan parks could be set up and pubs could be given special dispensation to show matches in case they take place late at night.

Our plans to cut VAT on hospitality and energy bills for households would put £270 back into people’s pockets.

This would help to drive economic growth, restore our high streets and give the country a much-needed morale boost.

Scottish education just isn't what it used to be. We used to have one of the best education systems in the world, but under the SNP it is now just average.

Pupils, parents and teachers deserve better than a third decade of the SNP.

What an achievement last night was for Steve Clarke’s men and this generation of players.

Now that we've qualified for the World Cup, let’s push the boat out at home so we can make the most of every twist and turn, and fingers crossed a few more wondergoals.

While a lucky few head over the Atlantic, the appetite for watching Scotland’s games here is going to be off the scale.

Huge fan parks could be set up across the country, and pubs could be given special dispensation to show their matches in case they take place late at night.

I attended the protest outside of Rockstar North in Edinburgh this evening to stand in solidarity with the more than 30 workers across the UK, including a number of my constituents who have been sacked.

Just 8% of the £360m Fishing and Coastal Growth Fund is set to come to Scotland, despite 9% of the value of fish landed in the UK coming through Shetland ports alone.

We need to see the both the UK and Scottish Governments supporting our fishing and seafood sector.
