We will open 16 GP walk-in centres across Scotland, available seven days a week, 12-8pm.
The first one, in Wester Hailes, is already open - helping more people get seen with no appointment needed.
That’s what you get with an SNP government. 🏴
A freedom of information request reveals Sarwar never asked Rachel Reeves for more money for Scotland- National front page
Was anyone ever convinced by that?!
I am pleased to see so many politicians of all stripes leaving X. I made the decision to make the move to Bluesky wholesale and haven’t looked back. The recent AI disgrace with photos being manipulated particularly to undress females reconfirms I was right to leave. The platform should be abandoned.

Graphic reads: “funding new jobs for Grangemouth”
The UK’s betrayal of workers at Grangemouth is unforgivable.
But we said we’d do what we can to support Grangemouth.
That’s why we’re allocating £8.5 million to support up to 460 new jobs in biotech and renewables in the area.
Good news for Grangemouth today: we're delivering new funding that will support up to 460 new jobs.
It shows a long-term industrial future for Grangemouth is achievable.
We will continue doing everything we can to support new jobs and investment in the area.
Norway used its energy wealth to build one of the most prosperous and fair societies in the world.
Scotland can do it too, with the fresh start of independence.

👏 A strong statement of intent from the First Minister John Swinney this morning.
🏴 Scotland will be better off with independence - our future and our energy in our own hands.
💛 Only independence offers that fresh start.
🗳️ And next May, we can choose it by voting @snp.org.

🥀 Before the election, Labour promised to lower energy bills by £300 - but now they’re skyrocketing.
With independence, we can use Scotland’s energy resources for the benefit of Scotland’s people. 🏴
Bold text listing three goals: reduce household energy bills by over a third, grant communities up to 20% ownership in wind projects, and cut business energy costs by at least one-third.
⚡️ Scotland is energy rich, yet has some of the highest energy bills in Europe. It's time for a fresh start with lower energy bills. Support our campaign by pledging your support and encourage your followers to do the same. www.snp.org/energy
Labour must compensate the WASPI women.

Graphic with John Swinney MSP speaking at a podium. Text reads: “No-one else will do a better job of caring for this beautiful country and the people who live here — and I mean all the people who live here.” Background is bright pink with SNP and Scottish flag logos at the bottom.
No one will care more for this country or its people than the SNP.
Scotland works best when everyone who lives here is included, valued and supported. #SNP25
A poster-style graphic with the headline: “Say ‘No Thanks’ to Starmer’s Brit-Card.” An illustration shows a mobile phone displaying a digital ID card with Keir Starmer’s photo and the words “Citizen Brit-Card.”

✂️ To protect Scottish households from harmful Labour cuts, we’ve committed:
👉 £74.8 million to mitigate the Bedroom Tax in full
👉 £7.8 million to offset the damaging effects of the Benefit Cap
👉 £7.9 million for other housing related hardship payments
Problem gambling can cause massive impacts on finances, health, and wellbeing. Stigmatisation can put people off from seeking support when it’s needed.
I am leading a Scottish Parliament debate on problem gambling and our public health response.

Deliver what?
Winter Fuel payments for those that Labour shafted?
The nationalisation of Grangemouth?
Compensation for WASPI women?
The GB Energy jobs that Aberdeen was promised?
The cheaper energy bills that were pledged?
A cancellation of the Labour tax on jobs?
Britain is broken - it’s time for independence! 🏴
The SNP will confront Nigel Farage, not cosy up to him.
With independence, people in Scotland would always be in charge of our future, not Westminster governments that ignore our values. 🏴
