@snp.org is on Glasgow’s side with transformative pledges today: - a development agency to revitalise vacant city centre sites and buildings - funding for the refurb of People’s Palace - backing the next phase of the Clyde Metro to the airport & other key destinations - more GP walk-in centres

Thanks to @scotfire_glasgo for extremely helpful briefings today about what it’s taking to fight a particularly complex fire. When their work is complete, responsibility for the site will pass to @GlasgowCC & I’ve been meeting our teams throughout the day to plan next steps

Thankful there are no casualties but it’s very upsetting to see the damage the major fire has caused to the heart of Glasgow city centre. The priorities of all those working at and behind the scene are keeping everyone safe and supporting those immediately affected

As the voices of climate denial get louder, I’ll always take climate action seriously - and do it in a way that creates new jobs, lowers our bills and unlocks huge economic opportunities for Scotland. Here’s a wee summary of my speech at Glasgow Botanics today 👇 youtube.com/shorts/qqK9b...

Eradicating child poverty is an investment in our people, not a cost to be borne. SNP policies like the Scottish Child Payment are already keeping an estimated 100,000 children out of poverty. Our Budget will do more by acting to lift the two-child limit. youtube.com/shorts/DjNN9...
