Scotland’s drug deaths crisis is a national tragedy, which is why my party have long called for radical action to stop people dying.

One measure I would like to see is for naloxone kits to be located like defibrillators in communities across Scotland to tackle overdoses.

In the budget, Scottish Liberal Democrats secured £4.5m for specialist long Covid support.

For years long Covid sufferers would have been better off moving to England due to the lack of support in Scotland, with this new funding I am hopeful we can begin to turn the corner.

While our campaign teams were knocking down the Blue Wall, we were winning more seats than the Scottish Conservatives north of the border.

We can overtake them in May too.

The Scottish Liberal Democrats WILL beat the Conservatives.

Transported back to 6th year common room and university halls by a tight-as-a-drum performance by Oasis at Murrayfield tonight. So so good.

Whether the SNP candidate is Kate Forbes, Ian Blackford or another nationalist, they are all tarred by their government's neglect of the Highlands.

Next May, everyone in the Highlands can change that by voting for a Liberal Democrat local champion.

I've been at the Black Isle show today talking to people about the uncertainty facing Scottish agriculture.

Our farmers are the best in the world.

It’s time both our governments recognised their invaluable contributions and backed a thriving future for Scottish agriculture.

Skye, Lochaber and Badenoch is a top target seat for the Scottish Liberal Democrats, having won the equivalent seat at Westminster last year.

Andrew Baxter is best placed to beat the SNP in the constituency and will be a hard working local champion for the Highlands.

Waits for a driving test are far too long because bots and scammers are buying up test spots before people can book them.

Both test centres in Edinburgh are seeing waits of 24 weeks.

The DVSA have put in place additional measures but now we need to see waiting times cut.

Last night saw a stunning victory for the Liberal Democrats in Fountainbridge/Craiglockhart.

Congratulations to our newest councillor, Kevin McKay!

Across Edinburgh and across Scotland, Liberal Democrats are going from strength to strength. 🔶🔶🔶
