The SNP is marking the 3-year anniversary of ScotRail being brought into public ownership
A report shows "strong growth in both passenger journeys and revenue" in that time
"[In] public ownership ScotRail has consistently exhibited higher train performance & Passenger Satisfaction than the GB avg"
they are the personification of pure evil
The threat from the radical right is real. That makes working together not just the right choice, but the only choice.
Now is the time to prove that more unites us than divides us – and the SNP will take our role in that seriously.
Message to Trump:
Monumental day for tourist tax in Edinburgh. But shamefully, Labour most comfortable siding with Tories to vote against SNP’s plan to invest £20M into housing providing an extra 1,000 homes #LabourChaos

✂️ The Tories want to scrap free prescriptions in Scotland.
💸 This would cost everyone in Scotland an average of £198 a year.
🎗️ The SNP abolished prescription charges in Scotland 11 years ago, and we intend to keep it this way!
Wisdom from his many years.
What a lovely Christmas Lunch. I hope everyone else had a peaceful, relaxing day.
📢 Labour promised the WASPI women they would help deliver justice.
🥀 Now they've entered government, they turned their back on them and have refused to deliver justice.
🤝 The SNP will continue to fight and campaign for the WASPI women to receive the justice they deserve.
🏴 37,805 Scottish students accepted to Scottish Universities this year - the highest number on record!
👏🏻 There has also been an 11% increase in acceptances from Scotland’s most deprived areas.
🥀 Unlike Labour, the SNP will always fight to keep tuition fees free in Scotland.
📊 Polling shows strong Labour voter support for SNP Budget:
💷 Universal Winter Fuel Payment: 69%
🏥 Record NHS funding: 78%
💰 Progressive Taxation: 54%
Labour must listen to their voters and back our Budget.
A new vision for Scotland
Scotland is rich in resources — from oil and gas to renewables, food and drink to life sciences. But as long as we remain tied to Westminster, we are unable to fully harness our wealth and potential.

🥣 Thousands of children will benefit from free breakfasts under our budget plans.
🧒 This is a step towards ensuring no child starts the day hungry.
This feels like the growth of Twitter 15 years ago... Let's see what happens.
🏴 Scottish Parliament constituency polling by Norstat:
SNP: 37% (+4)
Scottish Labour: 21% (-2)
🗳️ Independence support at 54% - the highest level in 4 years.
🔍 @JohnSwinney the most popular politician in Scotland. www.thetimes.com/uk/scotland/...
🏴 Independence is normal.
Shona Robison: “While the UK Gov't has frozen all income tax thresholds, in Scotland, the basic and intermediate rate thresholds will increase this year by 3.5%.
This means the majority of taxpayers in Scotland will continue to pay less income tax than in the rest of the UK.”
🏥 Our budget will deliver £2 billion more for Scotland's NHS - taking funding to a record £21 billion.
🩺 We’ll make it easier for people to access GP appointments, improve A&E, and ensure more Scots get the care they need in good time.
🏴 People across Scotland need to have a warm, safe, and affordable place to live.
🏘️ We'll boost Scotland's affordable housing supply, investing £768m in our housing programme.
🔨 This enables housing providers to deliver at least 8,000 homes.
🥀 As soon as they got into government, Labour decided to cut the Winter Fuel Payment.
🏴 We don’t think that’s right - so we’ve introduced a universal Winter Heating Payment for 900,000 Scots pensioners.
I was there. What a night.
Brilliant 😜

Cal Mac is ACTUALLY, statically, one of the best Ferry Companies, on Planet Earth!
Do silly, servile unenlightened, Google-phobic Scots STILL pay a Licence Fee, to get force-fed this preposterous balderdash?
The only 'saga' is, why isn't Scotland Independent?

Now Anas Sarwar says he will “reinstate” the winter fuel payments. Yet here is Anas Sarwar just last month voting AGAINST reversing the winter fuel cuts!
This is simply another lie from Sarwar and Labour trying to bribe voters for the future Scottish election after their ratings have dropped.
What a lovely, clear, frosty morning for a walk
