A re-elected SNP government will deliver 150,000 apprenticeships over the next Parliament and introduce an Apprenticeship Accelerator Grant to help young people build skills, confidence and a real path into work.

Make it #BothVotesSNP on May 7 for a government that’s on your side.

🇬🇧 Never forget how Labour took the people of Scotland for absolute mugs with their ‘PROJECT FEAR’ campaign

🇬🇧 In order to protect their precious union, Labour rely on reinforcing the message to the people of Scotland that they are uniquely incompetent, inadequate and incapable of being independent

Great advice.

Reeves has vowed to release tens of millions of barrels of oil from the north sea.

You know the oil that's running out, the oil that keeps the UK afloat but wouldn't help an independent Scotland at all.

It's good to see the Scottish Greens spreading their political wings.

A healthy set of Scottish parties can only benefit our politics in general, and counter more effectively the influence of London based parties - that only set their agendas to fit an English perspective.

Farage urged to act against candidates with racist, misogynistic and homophobic views Exclusive: Despite the pledge to employ the best vetting system in British politics, some Reform UK candidates have been condemned for their ‘grotesque views’ posted online

“Reform plagued by vetting issues”
Candidates found to have “grotesque” views.

Come on. It’s not the vetting, is it.
It’s the party. Whatever they do, they’ll always attract the racists, homophobes, misogynists and haters. Because that’s Farage. That’s Reform.

My own answer to this pretty odd question would be that I wouldn’t choose to taser anyone.

Who would? And framing this around political opponents is really problematic.

This. This. SNP constituency seats are great, but the flip side is potential for more unionist and Reform list seats. Vote Scottish Greens in the list to counter this. #Scotland #SNP1SGP2

But we are charged the cost of producing electricity with gas!

I'm just relieved nobody is talking about how I said I bought a house in Clacton, then admitted it was in the name of my girlfriend, Laure Ferrari, even though she couldn't afford £885,000, which conveniently meant I avoided £44,000 in tax.
Please don't share.

When people face sky-high food costs, energy bills and petrol prices, they need a government that is focused on supporting them.

While Westminster is engulfed in chaos, the SNP will act on the cost of living - capping bus and essential food prices, and expanding childcare.
