🧵 This UK Budget completely fails to meet the moment.
We will replicate the £100 support for fuel bills, but the UK Government has failed to cut energy bills by £300 as promised.

Independence isn't about turning our backs on our neighbours.
It's about Scotland, England, Wales and Ireland working together as friends, partners and equals, each with the power to shape their own future.

Independence is now supported by a majority of people in Scotland and people must have that choice.
If the Prime Minister backs the opportunity to revisit the 2016 EU referendum, it is completely incoherent to deny another referendum on independence.

Many congratulations to Leigh Payne, the latest @theSNP Councillor for Avondale and Stonehouse, elected in a by-election tonight. Great news.

Thank you David for raising this important issue in parliament. Follow our campaign stories here glasgowtimes.co.uk/topics/ac…
In the debate on ending violence against women & girls led by First Minister @JohnSwinney yesterday, I was proud to highlight the excellent @Glasgow_Times "Action Not Words" campaign led by @journostacey and her team. We all have a part to play to tackle this scourge in society.

Westminster’s time is coming to an end.
We believe there is a better way. Our nations working together as equals, sharing ideas and expertise, building relationships based on mutual respect and common interests.
Today marks a further step in building our cooperation. 🏴🏴🇮🇪

🧵 1/ In May, the @ScotParl overwhelmingly voted for a call to devolve powers to hold an independence referendum.
Today I published the draft Independence Referendum Bill. It proposes a clear Yes-No question, sets out who can vote, and upon introduction, will include the date.

Despite being one of the most energy-rich countries in the world, we pay some of the highest energy bills in Europe.
The energy price cap is set to rise again on Wednesday.
This must be a wake up call for the Prime Minister. We need urgent action to lower people’s bills.

Lord Sarwar once promised he'd never become a lord.
What will the next Scottish Labour leader promise?

Today’s statistics show that NHS long waits are coming down every month for over a year, and I have just announced extra funding to build on that progress.
We will keep working to make it easier for you to get the care you need, when you need it.

The Scotland we love is a nation of extraordinary resilience, one that can overcome each and every passing storm.
In this new Parliament, we must work together - so we can deliver for the people who elected us here, and bring hope for the future.

It was a pleasure to welcome @DavidLinden to Dogs Trust Glasgow this month.
We discussed our vital role in the community and the wider support we deliver across Scotland.
We also spoke about our Freedom service which provides crucial support for people fleeing domestic abuse.

I am deeply concerned by these incidents. There is no place for violence, racism or intolerance in our country. I met community groups last week to assure them of the strong support of the Government. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cx2x…

‘You can’t choose where you are born but you can choose who you stand with’ - brilliant.

A strong economy is key to everything I want to achieve as First Minister.
We will make our planning system work better, expand apprenticeships and devolve powers to Regional Partnerships, helping to create more jobs.
Good to address the @ProsperScot Annual Forum today.

Chaired the Cabinet meeting earlier today and it’s a busy week ahead. This is how we are delivering on your priorities. 👇🏴

The number of NHS operations is up on the year before, according to latest statistics.
Long waits are down for 11 months in a row, and we exceeded our target of 150,000 extra appointments and procedures.
More to do, but this is good progress. Thank you to our NHS staff. 👏
