I wish they’d stop publishing photos of them as a couple. It must be distressing

If you value a nationalised Scottish NHS DON'T vote London Labour on 7th May. Streeting will open it up to greedy oligarch-enabled USA health insurance companies, and sell your confidential data to Palantir. Scottish Water will be privatised too to stop it comparing favourably with English Water.

Scotland makes loads of cheap, clean energy...but Westminster keeps our bills sky-high. Vote for lower energy bills with independence. Make it both votes SNP on May 7th.

If re-elected, the SNP will double the number of GP walk-in centres across Scotland, reaching more communities the length and breadth of the country. Make it #BothVotesSNP on May 7.

Another reason to vote SNP on May 7th. Health is a devolved issue. And so far, thanks to OUR government, Palantir haven’t got anywhere near our NHS data. And as long as we don’t end up with a Westminster puppet government, they won’t.

You should take a look at how your constituency is likely to vote. the national newspaper has been analysing each one worth looking for yours

Look regularly at carbon intensity app Highlands are nearly always fully powered by wind. No need for nuclear. But we do need to uncouple electricity from gas and for a fair price for renewables.

The SNP will give every child a school bag filled books, stationery and practical support for that big first step. Building on the Baby Box, it’s about ensuring every child has the best possible start in life. On May 7th, make it both votes SNP for a government that's on your side.

An amazing turnout and a glorious sunny morning for the rally and march to Holyrood organised by Stand Up To Racism - Edinburgh. It was great to have the opportunity to address the rally as a Labour councillor - we must unite against those who spread hatred.
