Hospices got £9.4m for NHS pay parity, short of the £13.3m needed, and the 2023 funding framework isn't here. 1 in 3 Scots miss out on palliative care. We back more investment. healthandcare.scot/stories/4…

Glen Rosa, the Arran ferry due in 2018, is delayed again to February. Cost: ~£200m, 4x the price. Islands need a Scotland that decides for itself.

Asked on Rosebank, the First Minister wouldn't give a yes or no. Sovereignty will: open Rosebank, Cambo and Jackdaw, and keep the revenue in Scotland. You can't promise lower bills and a stronger economy while leaving our own oil in the ground.

UK-EU officials will discuss options incl. free movement before the 20 Nov summit. Swapping London rule for Brussels rule isn't independence. Sovereignty stands for a Scotland independent of both.

The UK Government says Holyrood gets an extra £600m to 2030. The Scottish Government says it's a real-terms cut of about £650m in 2027-28. Either way, Holyrood can only react to someone else's Budget. gov.scot/news/uk-budget-deli…

Today's UK Budget hands Scotland an "extra £600m", decided in London. The £100 energy payment leans on council tax bands still based on 1991 valuations. Sovereignty would replace council tax with a Land Value Tax, piloted locally now. bbc.com/news/articles/ckq6nj…

Under Westminster's broken grid and energy market, households are charged through their bills to switch off power generated on our own doorstep. A sovereign Scotland would set its own energy market and use its power here for cheaper bills and local industry first.
