Today we said goodbye to Vikki Soloman, a proud mum and a much loved friend and neighbour. She won’t be defined by the way she died but Vikki was one of at least 3 Scottish women killed by current or former partners last month. We have eradicate male violence in this country. Rest in Power, Vikki.

I chaired a packed-out public meeting in South Queensferry last night to discuss next steps in our efforts to stop antisocial car racing in the Ferry. Good input from Police Scotland - 4 cars seized and crushed in recent months.

This week marks 9 years since the Grenfell fire. Only 149 out of 1,000 buildings in Scotland suspected of having dangerous cladding have been investigated. Staggeringly, cladding removal is is underway in only 3 buildings in this country.

Brexit is costing us £90bn a year. That’s why we are calling for a bold new deal with Europe to boost growth, create jobs and keep our country safe. It’s the first step towards giving our children a better future, fixing the cost of living and getting our country back on track.

New office signage needed given the constituency name change. The good people of Corstorphine were pleased to see me up a ladder doing the black paintwork myself!

The case for a parliamentary inquiry into the facts of who knew what and when about the Murrell scandal is unanswerable. These unanswered questions remain:

Alex Cole-Hamilton 🔶🇺🇦 @alex.scotlibdems.org.uk · 11/06/2026

The violence seen in recent days is born of a hatred stoked by bad actors online and amplified by voices in the chamber of the Scottish Parliament. If they seek to gain political advantage by trying to divide then they underestimate the people of Scotland and they will fail.

This decision to water down sanctions on Russia is an utter betrayal of the fighting men and women of Ukraine. Their brave fighters are making huge sacrifices every day and civilians are facing aerial bombardment from Russia. The UK Government must reverse these weak waivers.

The Scottish Liberal Democrats are back. Our new group of 10 MSPs are ready and raring to get to work in the new Parliament.

No matter where you are in Scotland, you can elect a Liberal Democrat MSP on the peach-coloured regional ballot. Every vote for the Scottish Liberal Democrats on that ballot will deliver change with fairness at its heart.

053

Alex Cole-Hamilton 🔶🇺🇦 @alex.scotlibdems.org.uk · 06/05/2026

We can beat the SNP in 10 constituencies and deprive John Swinney of the majority he craves. But wherever you are, you can elect a hard working local Lib Dem MSP who will fight for you and your community on the peach-coloured regional ballot.

285

Alex Cole-Hamilton 🔶🇺🇦 @alex.scotlibdems.org.uk · 05/05/2026

At the start of this campaign I visited Margaret MacGill, who had been stuck in hospital for over a year despite being well enough to go home. John Swinney should apologise to every one of the 2,000 people stuck in hospital on any given night because of a lack of care packages.

Alex Cole-Hamilton 🔶🇺🇦 @alex.scotlibdems.org.uk · 04/05/2026

We can beat the SNP in seats right across the Highlands and deprive John Swinney of the majority he craves. But wherever you are, you can elect a hard working local Lib Dem MSP who will fight for you and your community on the peach-coloured regional ballot.

274

Alex Cole-Hamilton 🔶🇺🇦 @alex.scotlibdems.org.uk · 04/05/2026

In our 10 target constituencies we are on the verge of beating the SNP, but wherever you live you can elect a Liberal Democrat MSP on your peach-coloured regional ballot. Scotland deserves better than a 3rd decade of the SNP, and with the Scottish Lib Dems, you can vote for it.

063

Alex Cole-Hamilton 🔶🇺🇦 @alex.scotlibdems.org.uk · 02/05/2026

We need to ramp up our industrial base and get serious about Scotland’s defences. The world has become a more dangerous place, but if handled correctly, this can be an opportunity for Scottish jobs and Scottish industry.

Alex Cole-Hamilton 🔶🇺🇦 @alex.scotlibdems.org.uk · 01/05/2026

Seats across Scotland, and especially in the Highlands are swinging away from the SNP and to the Lib Dems. But no matter where you live, you can elect a Liberal Democrat MSP on the peach-coloured regional ballot.

Alex Cole-Hamilton 🔶🇺🇦 @alex.scotlibdems.org.uk · 30/04/2026

No matter where you are in Scotland, you can elect a Liberal Democrat MSP on the peach-coloured regional ballot on 7 May. Every vote for the Scottish Liberal Democrats on that ballot will deliver change with fairness at its heart.

The SNP's ferries fiasco has turned Scotland into an international laughing stock 👇

It's a stunning Scottish isle. Good luck getting on or off.

Nigel Farage described the ban on handguns brought in following the Dunblane school shooting as "ludicrous" and a "kneejerk reaction". This is the man Lord Offord wants to put into Downing Street.

It was great to have the chance to chat with Grado earlier in the campaign, especially about my journey to Ukraine to donate ambulances last year 👇

What's a Lib Dem's favourite fruit? Peaches! 🍑 That's because wherever you live you can use your peach ballot to elect a hard-working Liberal Democrat MSP who fill fight for you and your community.

063

Alex Cole-Hamilton 🔶🇺🇦 @alex.scotlibdems.org.uk · 25/04/2026

We are going to flip many seats at this election. In 10 constituencies we have the beating of the SNP. But wherever you live, you can elect a hard-working Liberal Democrat MSP on the peach-coloured regional ballot.

Alex Cole-Hamilton 🔶🇺🇦 @alex.scotlibdems.org.uk · 24/04/2026

I had a great time taking part in Question Time last night facing questions from the audience. But where was John Swinney? The First Minister clearly did not want to come and defend his government's record himself.

Alex Cole-Hamilton 🔶🇺🇦 @alex.scotlibdems.org.uk · 23/04/2026

There is no better example of failure under this SNP Government than the state of the ferries network. If you live in an area like Argyll and Bute right now, you've just seen the Easter holiday season ruined with ferries disruption impacting almost every Scottish island.

132

Alex Cole-Hamilton 🔶🇺🇦 @alex.scotlibdems.org.uk · 23/04/2026

You're probably wondering why I keep talking about peaches 🍑 That's because on 7 May, for the first time in a long time, wherever you live you can elect a hard working Liberal Democrat MSP on the peach-coloured regional ballot.

023

Alex Cole-Hamilton 🔶🇺🇦 @alex.scotlibdems.org.uk · 21/04/2026

Scottish Liberal Democrats believe in getting things done. For nineteen years, I was a youthworker trying to make young lives better. It’s been a privilege to be able to take that experience into Parliament and get stuff done, like for the babies born addicted to drugs.

042

Alex Cole-Hamilton 🔶🇺🇦 @alex.scotlibdems.org.uk · 20/04/2026

Today is the last day to register to vote in the Scottish Parliament elections on 7 May. Make sure you're registered so you don't miss out on the chance to elect a hardworking Liberal Democrat MSP who will fight for you and your community.

137

Alex Cole-Hamilton 🔶🇺🇦 @alex.scotlibdems.org.uk · 18/04/2026

We have a realistic plan to get things done, focused on the things that matter most. On 7 May you can vote for that vision of change with fairness at its heart by backing the Scottish Liberal Democrats on the peach-coloured regional ballot.

044

Alex Cole-Hamilton 🔶🇺🇦 @alex.scotlibdems.org.uk · 17/04/2026

We just launched our 2026 manifesto: Change with Fairness at its Heart. We have a realistic plan to get things done, focused on the things that matter most like access to healthcare and the cost of living.

Alex Cole-Hamilton 🔶🇺🇦 @alex.scotlibdems.org.uk · 14/04/2026

Scotland has so much going for it, but right now under the SNP, it feels like our country simply isn’t working. Scotland needs change with fairness at its heart. On 7 May you can vote for it by backing the Scottish Liberal Democrats on the peach-coloured regional ballot.

Alex Cole-Hamilton 🔶🇺🇦 @alex.scotlibdems.org.uk · 14/04/2026

I'm very happy to have the support of my good friend Kira Rudik. I have tried to do everything I can to support Ukraine's vital efforts to hold back Russian aggression from the rest of Europe, because Liberal Democrats will always stand up to bullies like Putin.

Ferries launched with painted on windows. Mass disruption with ferries out of action over Easter. An inadequate compensation scheme. Communities that rely on ferries, like Argyll and Bute, have been failed by the SNP.

2125

Alex Cole-Hamilton 🔶🇺🇦 @alex.scotlibdems.org.uk · 12/04/2026

Scottish Liberal Democrats are aiming to beat the SNP all over Scotland. Right across the Highlands, in Argyll and Bute, in Strathkelvin and Bearsden and in Edinburgh Northern only a vote for the Liberal Democrats can beat the SNP and deprive John Swinney of a majority.

1254

Alex Cole-Hamilton 🔶🇺🇦 @alex.scotlibdems.org.uk · 10/04/2026

Scottish Liberal Democrats want to get Scotland moving again 🏎️ Wherever you live, you can elect a Liberal Democrat MSP on the peach-coloured regional ballot who will fight for change with fairness at its heart.

Alex Cole-Hamilton 🔶🇺🇦 @alex.scotlibdems.org.uk · 09/04/2026

Scottish Liberal Democrats are the party of local healthcare. We are focused on improving access to healthcare and rejuvenating local facilities, like Raigmore in Inverness.

Alex Cole-Hamilton 🔶🇺🇦 @alex.scotlibdems.org.uk · 08/04/2026

Liberal Democrats are up for the fight at this election 💪 In 10 constituencies we are on the verge of beating the SNP, but wherever you live you can elect a Liberal Democrat MSP on the peach-coloured regional ballot.

It is a scandal that Margaret MacGill was stuck in hospital for a year. She was well enough to go home, but unable to do so without a care package. I raised this repeatedly with the First Minister but the family had to take matters into their own hands to get Margaret home.

033

Alex Cole-Hamilton 🔶🇺🇦 @alex.scotlibdems.org.uk · 07/04/2026

It was great to meet Margaret MacGill in Wick this morning. Margaret was stuck in hospital for over a year because of a lack of carers locally. I raised her case with the FM repeatedly, but the family had to take matters into their own hands to get Margaret home.

There is a Lib Dem wave coming in May and we can wash away the SNP 🏄 No matter where you live you can get on board by backing the Scottish Liberal Democrats on the peach-coloured regional ballot.

Alex Cole-Hamilton 🔶🇺🇦 @alex.scotlibdems.org.uk · 06/04/2026

I probably knock on more doors than any other party leader in Scotland. That's because Lib Dems understanding what people in our communities think really matters to us. By electing a Liberal Democrat MSP you can elect a local champion who will fight for you and your area.

289

Alex Cole-Hamilton 🔶🇺🇦 @alex.scotlibdems.org.uk · 02/04/2026

This year, Scottish Liberal Democrats are all about peaches. Peach ballots that is, not the fruit. That's because no matter where you live you can use your peach ballot to vote for change with fairness at its heart with the Scottish Liberal Democrats.

023

Alex Cole-Hamilton 🔶🇺🇦 @alex.scotlibdems.org.uk · 31/03/2026

We need to recall the Scottish Parliament. Right now, people in Argyll & Bute and up and down the west coast are facing yet more ferry crises. That's why I am calling for Parliament to be recalled so that we can debate a plan for helping residents and businesses.

233

Alex Cole-Hamilton 🔶🇺🇦 @alex.scotlibdems.org.uk · 31/03/2026

🚨Even the National agrees: the Lib Dems can stop an SNP majority. If you want to stop an SNP majority then vote for local Liberal Democrat Sanne Dijkstra-Downie in Edinburgh Northern.

4114

Alex Cole-Hamilton 🔶🇺🇦 @alex.scotlibdems.org.uk · 30/03/2026

The Lib Dems have the wind in our sails. In many constituencies we are on the verge of winning against the SNP but wherever you are, every vote for the Scottish Liberal Democrats on the second peach ballot will deliver change with fairness at its heart.

Alex Cole-Hamilton 🔶🇺🇦 @alex.scotlibdems.org.uk · 29/03/2026

Before politics I was a youth worker. Under the SNP, too often these kids are written off. Scottish Liberal Democrats are campaigning for a Youth Work Bill to give young people more opportunities to have fun, discover their talents and grow in confidence and ambition.
