Now officially sworn in as the MSP for Hamilton, Larkhall and Stonehouse. Thanks to those who put me here - I won't let you down.

EXCLUSIVE: The SNP have seen a surge in donations off the back of their 'hearts and minds' fund announcement, The National understands

This is a hugely significant moment. For the first time since 2014, Scottish Labour accept Scotland’s right to decide our own future, just as the Prime Minister has. We now need to turn that principle into an opportunity for people to make their voice heard.

EXCLUSIVE: The SNP are set to launch a £100,000 campaign to win 'hearts and minds' over to Scottish independence, The National can reveal 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 It comes after last week's historic Celtic Alliance meeting 👇

🥀 Labour promised £200 million for Grangemouth, but still haven't delivered a penny. ❌ Despite welcoming renewables investment in England, Westminster blocked it in Scotland. 🚨 While 1,000 energy jobs are lost every month. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Scotland's energy should be in Scotland's hands.

🤝 Leaders of Scotland, Northern Ireland, and Wales have signed memorandum on independence to work together. All nations should have a choice over their future.

We don't hear much from Better Together these days. Their £1,400 "Union dividend" from 2014 has been wiped out by Brexit, which is costing everyone in Scotland £3,000 a year. Even though Scotland said "no thanks" to Brexit. snp.org/2014-revisited-the-p…
