Both John Swinney and Nicola Sturgeon have deserted the sinking ship. None of the SNP leadership contenders are up to the job and continuity certainly doesn’t cut it. Time for a change of government. Scotland deserves better

Why there could be another SNP leadership contest next year – Jackie Baillie

So goodbye John Swinney, the SNP’s deputy leader has decided to abandon the nationalist ship before it inevitably hits the iceberg.

Totally unacceptable that women are having to wait up to 7 months for vital cancer tests - a dire consequence of the SNP's negligent handling of our NHS. Scotland deserves better. Read:

Women having to wait 'up to seven months' for vital cancer tests

Scottish Labour’s health spokeswoman Jackie Baillie said the waiting times were 'extremely concerning'.

The SNP knew about the increased risk to Glasgow from the delta variant for 7 days before telling the public. Instead of decisive action to ramp up testing and vaccinations, they sat on their hands - prolonging Glasgow’s lockdown through inaction.

Scottish Government accused of 'inaction' over covid variant found in Glasgow

Scottish Labour accused ministers of not moving fast enough to announce details of the new variant being found in Scotland's biggest city - but the SNP called it a "ludicrous attack".

The SNP time and again choose secrecy and cover-up over transparency and scrutiny. Even Westminster parliamentary committees have more powers than Holyrood to hold government to account. We need change, without delay:

No one has any issue with a vigorous debate. It’s important. But for Humza Yousaf to repeatedly refer to his opponents as ‘traitors’ at a time when our politics is so toxic and divided is unacceptable. He demeans the office of First Minister.

According to industry experts Labour's plans risk 100,000 jobs. The SNP supports a windfall tax, but Labour's raid on the North East would cost jobs in order to pay for more nuclear power plants in England. Sarwar stands up for Starmer, while @theSNP will stand up for Scotland.

Spot on. The FM said that all 40-49 year olds would be fully vaccinated by today. At 76% they have missed their target. Many of those missed have had their 1st dose and but not their 2nd. Some have waited more than 8 weeks. So there was a target and it was missed. That’s a fact.

It’s right that Michael Matheson has coughed up to cover his huge data bill of almost £11,000 rather than placing the burden on taxpayers, but it shouldn’t have been such a saga. This is an arrogant and failing government that is out of touch with Scots. It’s time for change.
