It is great that the UK is rejoining Erasmus+. However, in so doing, it demonstrates how Brexit has harmed opportunity for young people, and that we are missing out on many other benefits of EU membership, too.
Scotland must rejoin the EU as a full independent member state.

This is very good news for Scotland. I am grateful to everyone involved in the discussions. This ensures that the progress we are making in NHS recovery can be maintained.
Resident Doctors have called off proposed strike action across Scotland.
The British Medical Association (BMA) is recommending that their members accept a two-year pay and contract reform deal.

However, I am clear that all nations must abide by the international rules-based system, and having listened carefully to what has been said by the United States administration in recent days, I cannot see how international law has been respected here. [2/3]

I am deeply concerned at the situation which has unfolded in Venezuela.
There is no doubt that the Maduro regime was an illegitimate and authoritarian regime. [1/3]

The number of 18-year old Scots securing a place at university in Scotland has reached a record high of 17,675 in 2025.
@Scotgov’s commitment to free tuition means access to university remains based on the ability to learn and not the ability to pay.

SMRs the latest “Atomic Lemons”- “the battered commercial nuclear industry is back with its most audacious pitch yet: SMR lobbying of governments worldwide for taxpayer money. Why? No private investor will touch nukes with a ten-foot uranium rod”
"I spent 50 years in the #nuclear industry, advancing to senior vice president and managing projects at 70 nuclear power plants. I once believed the dream. The nuclear industry’s latest pitch is an expensive distraction from real #climate solutions."

Secured a higher credit rating than several other major economies as we progress plans for a Scottish Bond. Introduced specialist employment support for disabled people and those with long term conditions. Provided funding to unlock investment in Scotland's offshore wind supply chain and ports.
