It was a privilege to join the team from CHAS (Children's Hospices Across Scotland) recently. They work to improve choices for children with life-limiting conditions and to offer great support to them and their families. I look forward to a close relationship with them in this new parliamentary term

Today I visited the Family Fund exhibition in Parliament, which shares the experiences of families raising disabled or seriously ill children. Family Fund offers grants and practical support for individual families. If you think this support could help you, visit www.familyfund.org.uk

Over the last few years, I have met many people determined to make sure newborn babies are screened for SMA, and worked with them to see this programme start. Early detection - before symptoms show - can be life-changing. I hope this programme continues to succeed + helps families all over Scotland.

The baby was tested for the rare genetic condition, that can cause progressive muscle weakness and affect movement, breathing and swallowing, at just five days old

Visited the Lord Provost's Peace Garden yesterday, on the 81st anniversary of the bombing of Hiroshima & Nagasaki. It saw Dr Hiro Shimai lead the planting of a new tree, grown from seeds of a tree that survived the bombs 81 years ago. Scotland, and the world, will be safer without nuclear weapons.

I recently met with SPT to discuss their plans that are currently being developed to operate a franchised bus system. I'm supportive of their plans and hope to work constructively with SPT+ScotGov to maximise the prospect of success. It will deliver a more strategic approach to planning bus services

Scotland has put its trust in the SNP, and that trust will never be taken for granted. However you voted, we will work every day to improve lives, stand up for Scotland, and build the fairer, stronger future our country deserves.

Just some of the highlights from the last week. From chatting with many voters, it's clear they value SNP policies which help families. From the Scottish Child Payment, to the doubling of childcare; from ensuring a university education is free to making sure Scotland maintains free prescriptions.

I welcome the fact the first walk-in GP service has now opened. Such a service in the northwest of Glasgow could make a real difference in easing pressures and improving people’s experience. As such, I have asked the ScotGovt if they will consider such a service locally More: www.bob.scot/GP

The Scottish Govt try where they can to offer additional support to our unpaid carers. A good example is Carers Allowance Supplement. This is an extra payment, paid twice a year, to more than 96,000 carers in Scotland -  it's not available anywhere else in the UK. More: mygov.scot/carers

So the 2-child cap is finally to be scrapped. I highlighted in Parliament the issues caused by this appalling policy back in my 2023 Members' Debate. It shouldn't have taken Labour so long to do the right thing. However, I take nothing at face value and await full details. t.co/t7Cu5AGaTP

I submitted a motion in Parliament calling for the Abolition of the unelected House of Lords. It continues to be an affront to democracy. Despite Labour pledging to abolish it for the last 115 years, they have delayed even the most modest reforms. Its time is long up, it is time for it to go.

I asked the @scotgov about the work it is doing to support households at risk of fuel poverty. The investments being made are v. welcome. It highlights the need for a Social Tariff. The UK Govt, who have the powers, need to bring in a Social Tariff to lift 135,000 households out of fuel poverty

There has been significant concern over the UK Government’s National Insurance increases on employment. Despite that we have thankfully saw unemployment fall to 3.7% in Scotland. It has risen to 5% in the UK (ONS figures July to September).
Image with the title "Unemployment: A tale of two governments." showing an image of Keir Starmer with a rise of unemployment to 5%. This compares, with an image of John Swinney, unemployment falling to 3.7% in SNP-ran Scotland.
