Honoured to be welcomed to the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland.

I talked to Ministers and people involved in their church about how we can work together for the common good.

Also great to present @christianaiduk.bsky.social with a motion I published to mark their 80th anniversary.

There is a worrying rise of youth violence in schools and in our communities.

Today I asked the First Minister if his government would invest in safe spaces and programmes for young people instead of holding more summits and talking shops.

This week I took an opportunity to pay tribute to the late Pope Francis.

In a debate about the current international situation, it felt only right to talk about the leadership and compassion he showed in times of trial and conflict.

A pleasure to welcome pupils from Uplawmoor Primary to Holyrood today.

A group of young people who are a credit to their parents and their teachers.

They came prepared with great questions!

Howwood is the latest place in West Scotland where I've held a street surgery.

They're a really effective way to meet constituents and understand how I can help them.

I'll be holding more in the coming weeks and could be in your street very soon!

John Swinney has been at the helm of the SNP Government for the last 17 years.

If he had a serious plan for our NHS then we would have seen it by now

Scotland needs a new direction.

Something is seriously wrong if staff at the RAH feel unable to raise concerns about patient safety to senior staff.

I'll be writing to NHS GG&C and the Health Secretary about these revelations.

Houston is one of the many places in West Scotland where I've held a street surgery.

Street surgeries are a really effective way for me to meet with constituents and find out how I can help them.

NHS and the removal of the Strathgryffe Mobile Treatment Centre 🚐🏥

@martinmccluskey.bsky.social and I have plenty of issues to take up on behalf of constituents after a busy street surgery in Bridge of Weir

1,500 local people signed a petition, launched by @blairmcdougall.com & myself, to ask the Bank of Scotland to think again about the decision to close their branch in Barrhead.

The strength of feeling hasn’t changed & today I delivered that representation to the Mound in Edinburgh👇

Good to be on the panel at the Child Poverty & the Public Debt Crisis: A National Conference at @uofglasgow.bsky.social

Some really informative discussions & insight into politicians’ approaches to the public debt crisis & child poverty.
