After months of uncertainty, the UK governmentβs support for Grangemouth is welcome and long overdue.
Alongside this, the Scottish Government committed funding last week to support up to 460 new jobs - showing a long-term future for the site is achievable.
Over 141,000 affordable homes delivered since the SNP came into office - and we are not stopping there.
We will keep working to ensure everyone has a safe, secure place to call home.
This is what investing in Scotlandβs young people looks like. π
New study from LSE, York & Glasgow universities shows the Scottish Child Payment is transforming lives.
Without it, 70,000 more children would face deprivation and food insecurity.
We will keep investing in families and lifting children out of poverty.
Great to see action from our SNP Scottish Government supporting new jobs for Grangemouth.
The same can't be said for the UK Labour Government, who went back on their promises and abandoned workers at Grangemouth.
Scotland's economy is moving under the @snp.org.
Business investment has reached a 20-year high - while it falls across the UK - with Scotland having the most educated workforce anywhere in the UK.
Imagine what more we could do with independence.
Todayβs figures show real progress in our schools:
β
Record literacy and numeracy
β
Higher attendance
β
More teachers, with smaller class sizes
Huge credit to pupils and staff. We will keep driving improvement for every young person in Scotland.
