Far from cutting energy bills as they promised, the Labour government is hiking the bills of Scots to pay for nuclear plants in England.

In Scotland, we have vast renewable resources - and with the powers of independence, we can use them to lower bills.

My Christian faith is one of the things that shaped who I am.

I want to build a Scotland where faith and belief are sources of strength, not division.
 
A Scotland where we come together, across all our communities, to build a better society.

75 years ago, the ECHR was signed after the horrors of the war.

Today, Nigel Farage and many Westminster politicians want to tear up the laws that protect our basic human rights.

Our rights are not Westminster’s to take away. We will stand firmly against that.

Recorded crime in Scotland is at one of the lowest levels since 1974.

Police numbers are higher than when the SNP came into office.

And all that Anas Sarwar offers is empty rhetoric, hypocrisy and no solutions.

While Labour copies Farage’s policies, our NHS and care homes are finding it harder to recruit the staff they need.

We have a solution.👇

Independence is normal.

And if independent countries like Ireland, Denmark and Finland can be wealthier and fairer than the UK, so can Scotland.

I’m in Zambia, where I’m seeing first hand the impact of 20 years of partnership and friendship between our countries.

Scotland is proud to play our part in the world and support many life-saving development projects - showing the kind of country we can be on the world stage.
