Renters to have first refusal if landlords put homes up for sale, John Swinney vows JOHN Swinney has pledged to give private renters first refusal if their home is put up for sale, if his party wins next month’s Holyrood election

We are rolling out the £2 bus fare cap across the Highlands and Islands, delivering real savings. Just two examples:

📍 Wick-Inverness, £31 down to £2.
📍 Elgin-Inverness, £15.60 ➡️ £2.

And we are protecting free bus travel for under-22s, over-60s and disabled people.

We rescued Ferguson Marine to save jobs, and we are determined to see it succeed.

Today we have set out proposals to award four new vessel contracts to Ferguson Marine – to secure a pipeline of work, protect jobs and strengthen the future of shipbuilding on the Clyde.

John Swinney accuses US and Israel of breaking international law in Iran strikes

Scotland's First Minister John Swinney has suggested the United States and Israel broke international law by striking Iran

"We produce oil but have no refinery. We produce electricity but make no money from it. We have ports but cannot trade from them. Would it be because we let another country dictate the rules? Time for Independence."

The SNP lead ScotGov delivering for Scotland.. #VoteSNP #Holyrood2026 #ScottishIndependence

I agree SNP 1, Greens 2, and I think Swinney knows that but he can’t tell SNP voters to vote for another party in list vote, can you imagine the stick he would get from msm and other parties, just let independence voters use their common sense.

Scotland will create £14,000,000,000, in VAT in 2026. It all goes South.

Independent Scotland will be one of the Richest Countries in Europe.

Here's the truth:-

The greatest

Why should Parties with their interests lying in Westminster sitting in our Scottish Parliament?
Vote them out in May 2026.

Starmer did nothing when a British-flagged vessel carrying flotilla activists to #Gaza was illegally intercepted by Israel in international waters.

Now he’s colluded with Trump in the seizure of a Russian-flagged oil tanker.

Henceforth he will be known as the

#OilTankerWanker

And because they don't care, this is why it's dumped in Scotland poisoning everything, Scotland and her people are nothing. You Yes Yet? If Not Why Not!!!

She will certainly not be missed, typical Labour traitor to her country, horrible woman.

Probably mine too

The last 2 elections iv voted SNP 1 and greens 2, I think voting alba would be a waste, even if they got a few mps I think they hate SNP so much they would be troublemakers, although when I heard the greens would possibly do a deal with labour, I worried about their independence credentials

This.

Good to catch up with the First Minister in Maryhill today. Thanks to all the Kelvin & Maryhill activists who were out supporting our #voteSNP campaign this afternoon.

Couldn’t agree more.

BREAKING: MSPs have backed a bill that is described as the 'most radical land reform legislation in the history of devolution'

What a waste of time sending Scottish
MPS to Westminster now . Clearly the Governments that sit in London have no desire to engage with MPS that represent a lot of Scottish People and that includes me an ex Labour member . Vote Scotland Vote SNP that’s the only way now !

I am a Scot. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Goodbye Ian Murray, close the door behind you

You won't be missed, you took great pride in being one of Scotlands largest traitors

You'll have plenty time now for your orange order activities
