📢 A new report shows Scotland will be the only part of the UK where child poverty falls over the next four years.
If the UK followed our lead, 800,000 fewer children would be in poverty.
Action, not excuses, delivers results. Westminster must step up.

Event map for the Tall Ships race visiting Aberdeen this summer has been announced. I’m signing up to volunteer, like my grandad did when they last visited in 1991 and 1997. Looks like it’s going to be a mad few days.

To grow Scotland’s economy, help our businesses access the huge single market, and give more opportunities to our young people, the EU is the answer.

“Brexit made the UK an early victim of this reactionary politics which, instead of making this country great again, has already made it poorer and lonelier. Who knows what further damage may be awaiting our younger generations.”
The Brexit backlash – does it signal a progressive future?
Starmer fears ‘betraying Brexit’. Yet with polls showing a majority for moving closer to Europe, can the progressive majority find its voice?
