Today’s figures show real progress in our schools:

✅ Record literacy and numeracy
✅ Higher attendance
✅ More teachers, with smaller class sizes

Huge credit to pupils and staff. We will keep driving improvement for every young person in Scotland.

New Scottish Government statistics published today show that over the last year, the number of pupils in Scotland’s schools reaching expected levels of literacy and numeracy is at the highest level on record and the poverty-related attainment gap is at a record low.

We need another referendum when Scotland wants it.
Not when Westminster says so.

Democracy is currently being denied to Scotland by the Labour Party.

There are thousands of trained doctors in the UK right now — unemployed. Not because they’re unnecessary, but because the government refuses to fund the NHS roles we desperately need.

If we have the doctors, we can fund the doctors. So why won’t they?

Does anyone actually know what Keir Starmer thinks about Brexit?

My view hasn’t changed: Brexit is a disaster, Scotland belongs in Europe, so let’s become independent and join the EU with our own seat at the table.

Too late. Marco Rubio already spilled the truth. The so called peace plan was Russia’s wish list, not something the US drafted. He’s trying to walk it back but the damage is done.

He’s scrambling.

'Making England Great Again', taking Scottish skilled workers, whilst the UK Government watches Scottish Manufacturing collapse and forces Scots oot of their Homes & country as a consequence of their shite policies designed to hurt Scotland 🙄

It's happening again. Scots being forced to leave.
