Never in the history of @ScotParl has there been a government of 27 Ministers. The SNP & Green ministerial wage bill now stands at more than £1m+ per year. Why should the public accept two more on the Ministerial payroll? It’s an expensive new gloss on the same old government.

Great to meet with @scottishlabour members in Stornoway on the Isle of Lewis tonight. People here are being failed by the Tories and the SNP from the cost of living crisis to the ferries fiasco. The road to a Labour Government runs through Na h-Eileanan an Iar.

Outstanding speech from @AnasSarwar setting out the change on offer with Labour. The Tories and SNP represent a block on progress but we can do things differently and make Scotland the best place in the world to grow up and grow old in. Labour is on Scotland’s side. #ScotLab23

Scottish economy was underperforming before the crisis. Now @ONS say our employment rate 74.1% is lower than Wales and every English region. ⬇️1.6% over the last year. ⬇️1.2% over the last quarter. It’s clear @scotgov has no working plan to rescue jobs - we need one now.

Sticking with face masks on public transport protects staff and builds passenger confidence as we go to Level 0. It's simple, it's safe and for now it's got to stay.

If the SNP’s Budget really is a budget for a green economic recovery then they should be able to tell us how many green jobs it will create.

This is a control-freak government where MSPs aren’t allowed to ask questions without permission. But they expect you to believe that Derek Mackay signed a multi-million pound ferries contract without permission.

RESULT- I am delighted that Denzel Darku will not be deported & has been granted residency as this nightmare finally comes to an end. His life has been turned upside down for no reason and lessons must be learned by the Home Office in how they treat people in future. #DENZELSTAYS

More and more people in Scotland and across the UK are demanding change. That change is coming - with @ScottishLabour gaining support from both the Tories and the SNP. #VoteLabour for a Labour Government and to get the Tories out.

Mhairi Black is clearly indifferent to the present needs of her constituents. Paisley and Renfrewshire South needs change with a Labour Government. It’s clear the only way to make sure we boot the Tories out at the next election is to #VoteLabour .

A rail link to Glasgow Airport should have happened long before now. Since 2009, the SNP have cancelled three projects, when are they going to cancel the latest one?

Congratulations to Humza Yousaf. People across Scotland are hungry for change but he is the self-styled continuity candidate. This isn’t day 1 of a new government. It’s day 5807 of a bitterly divided SNP in power. Only @ScottishLabour offers the change that Scotland needs.

Queen Street’s shiny new decor can’t mask the chaos at ScotRail. Workers and passengers are fighting against massive cuts to rail services and jobs. The First Minister will pop up for a photo-op but why won’t she listen and stop the cuts hitting rail services across Scotland?

The four rail unions are protesting at the official opening of Glasgow Queen Street this morning. We’re calling on @NicolaSturgeon to intervene to stop the cuts and end the industrial relations crisis on Scotland’s railways.

The new SNP Transport Minister should abandon:- - Cutting 250 daily services - 50,000 fewer seats on trains - Plans to shut ticket desks - Biggest fare rise in a decade - Compulsory redundancy threats My speech in @scottishlabour debate on ScotRail last week 👇🏻

Today I will be speaking in support of the @scottishlabour plan to extend free bus travel for all under 25s. I recently met with @KatiePragnell in Clarkston to discuss the real difference this change could make to young people struggling to get to their place of work or study.
