The SNP is on Scotland's side: that's why we're tackling the cost of living.
Many people are struggling right now and looking for real change and hope for the future.

I'm glad the Scottish Government listened to my calls for the Nairn Bypass to be brought forward to as soon as possible within the overall project timescale. This is what I have been arguing for, as it is the most urgent part of the dualling programme.

I've signed an open letter alongside colleagues in Holyrood and Westminster to Ofcom, urging rejection of the application to merge STV North with Central, which would disadvantage north audiences.

The public consultation closes on 9th February.

We must give local authorities every tool possible to prevent wildfires like the one that devastated Dava Moor last year.
I'm delighted my amendment, which will support local by-laws with fixed-penalty notice schemes, was supported by Parliament tonight.

It was a pleasure to be able to lead a debate on Growing2Gether's work with young people after visiting some of the folk involved in Kinmylies last year.
This works, and we should do all we can to promote and support it 👇

Scotland can do it too, with the fresh start of independence.

I am grateful to those who reached out about Inverness Women's Aid funding. Like many of you, I know intimately how vital these services are.
On Monday, I spoke with IWA and wrote to the Highland Council, councillor colleagues, & the Scottish Government to see what can be done.

One of my most difficult cases was when a brave wee girl came forward to share that she had been abused, but her mother still had to let her spend unsupervised time with the alleged abuser.

The Fireworks Act could prevent a lot of distress and harm to animals, if the government brought forward restrictions on sale and use - per calls from animal welfare charities.
I asked the First Minister about this and will follow up with written correspondence to keep making the case. 🐱 🎆
