Scotland has the lowest child poverty rate in the UK, and 90,000 fewer children live in poverty thanks to our policies.
But decisions at Westminster have too often held us back.
I want to fully eradicate child poverty, and Scotland should have the full powers to do it.

Well it is a game for children.

An excellent breakdown of all areas of Brexit damage
By 2025, Brexit has reduced UK GDP by 6 to 8 per cent.
That’s £240bn per year that our economy has lost.
Not “might lose.” HAS LOST
My latest blog piece, the second poll within a month puts the SNP on track to win a majority in its own right in Holyrood in May, with the added bonus that Jackie Baillie loses her seat.

So network rail issue.
Millionaires suck money from the economy. Good riddance.

Former ICE agent:
On my first day training new cadets, I received secretive orders to teach them to violate the Constitution by entering homes without a judicial warrant.

Project forward to 2036 under a majority Reform government and the picture darkens further. Britain would be smaller, older and whiter; more isolated from Europe; paradoxically, more vulnerable to foreign interterence and less able to fund its own defence. The welfare state would shrink to a skeleton. Charity would fill the gaps. Flags would proliferate; rights would not. The police and courts would be politicised. The BBC could disappear. The NHS would survive only as a minimal safety net. Protections against discrimination would erode - you might indeed be sacked for being disabled. Migrants and even their British-born children could find their rights curtailed unless they were deemed to "contribute" sufficiently. Meanwhile, the wealthiest would enjoy a generous, low-tax regime.
“Rarely has a British political party unveiled a programme that combines cruelty with impracticality on such an extravagant scale.”
Chilling on Reform’s increasingly confident fascism. High on viciousness and greed. Very low on wisdom. A ruinous combination.

The astonishing facts the Herald and Labour hope to hide from you - In less than 4 years child poverty in England predicted to be 45% greater and in Wales'58% higher than in Scotland, affecting millions of them talkingupscotlandtwo.com/2025/12/20/i...

95% of Scotland’s schools in good condition up from only 62% under Labour yet Herald platform Anas Sarwar to accuse SNP talkingupscotlandtwo.com/2026/01/12/9...
Watch as Anas Sarwar is left red-faced after John Swinney presents evidence of him flip-flopping on NHS Scotland waiting lists 🚨
On Tuesday, Public Health Scotland data revealed NHS Scotland waiting lists have fallen for the sixth month in a row
We promised all the money set aside to mitigate the two-child cap would be spent on continuing to tackle child poverty, and we’re delivering on that promise. Children First say this will be ‘life changing,’ and will further drive down child poverty in Scotland – already the lowest in the UK.
I feel it’s important to let everyone know that it was the Tory/Lib Dem led council that made the decision to NOT FILL GRIT BINS! SNP councillors were against their plans. This is quite astonishing from local Tory MPs. 👇
Greens are more democratic.

Done because the Scottish government has been lauded internationally for their efforts. Scottish election in 2026 and Labour are absolutely bricking it, hence her special shout out to wee Anas in a vain attempt to make him sound relevant.
It can be undone as quickly. Mr Speaker I have listened to..
Having a representative from 4 unionist parties and 1 from the SNP is not representative.

Today is #RLSDay which marks the birthday of the Scottish writer Robert Louis Stevenson who would have been 175 today.
It's also a good day to remember that it is NOT actually his birthday because in 1891 he gave it away to a young girl because she didn't like her birthday. 🧵
That's nice.
Why are you denying devolved government the powers and money to make decisions on what they need?
