You can’t fix the NHS if social care is broken.
Waits for care packages increases delayed discharge, pushes up A&E waits and leaves ambulances queued outside hospitals.
We have a realistic plan to raise the wages of care workers and attract more people into the profession.

It is frustrating to see the SNP-led administration reject these ideas out of hand. Nobody has a monopoly on good ideas - people want to see politicians working constructively and being open to alternative approaches (4/4).

It would also support working families with additional wraparound care and provide warm spaces with food.
Above all, it was about improving primary school attainment, which continues to lag behind national figures (3/4).

Highland Liberal Democrats put forward constructive amendments to the Highland Council budget, including a boost to the roads budget. Our Homework Club proposal aimed to tackle the poverty-related attainment gap (1/4).

Under the SNP, Scottish education is just average and our scores in the international rankings are the lowest they have ever been.
The SNP have failed to deliver so many of their promises on education.
No wonder people feel let down.

Nicola Sturgeon is clearly not serious about being judged on education when she can’t even turn up to a debate about it.
The SNP have broken promise after promise on education.
Failed to close the attainment gap, violence in classrooms rising and performance flatlining.

The Scottish Liberal Democrats used our debate in Holyrood today to hold the SNP government to account for its failure to close the poverty-related attainment gap, ten years after Nicola Sturgeon set this deadline and asked to be judged on this issue.

Only 23 % of Scots now oppose new nuclear power stations being built in Scotland.
We need nuclear energy. Amidst surging war beyond our borders, the SNP would do well to place the national energy security of our country before their separatist agenda.

Liberal Democrats are winning again.
We are poised to take constituencies off the SNP right across Scotland.
In seats right across the Highlands, in Argyll and Bute, Strathkelvin and Bearsden and Edinburgh Northern, it is only the Liberal Democrats who can beat the SNP.

A look back over our fantastic Spring Conference 👇
Scottish Liberal Democrats are winning again right across Scotland.
Wherever you are, every vote for the Scottish Liberal Democrats on the second peach ballot will deliver change with fairness at its heart.

The Scottish Liberal Democrats have secured £300 million for our priorities in the Scottish Government budget. That means more money for business rates relief, colleges, social care, hospices, autism and ADHD assessments and support, and backing for young entrepreneurs. 1/2

Great to be able to work with the hospitality sector to push the government for more support for businesses. There’s always more they can do and we will work together to push for it. Business is everything to economic growth, jobs and fixing our fiscal black hole.

It was interesting to listen to @EdwardJDavey today at the @scotlibdems Business Day event, outlining the @LibDems vision for not just the UK but for Scotland, but also to @agcolehamilton on his own visions for Scotland ahead of the elections Also interesting listening to @jamiegreeneUK and the panel on issues like non-domestic rates Round table sessions Scotlands Food and Drink, and the Skills issues made for good discussions VAT remains a big concern for hospitality UK Wide, and @libdemdaisy has been a voice on this, and we will be writing to her to explore dates for more discussions

The SNP’s failures are heaping unbearable pressure on our NHS.
A&E departments are backed up, because there are so many people who are stuck in hospital and unable to leave because the care package they need is not available.
You cannot fix the NHS without fixing social care.

At the next election, there is everything to play for in Edinburgh.
Council by-elections show that support for Labour, the SNP and the Conservatives is collapsing because they have all let you down.
Scotland deserves better - and with the Liberal Democrats, you can vote for it.

“Let’s end the scandal. Let’s end the drama, and get back to focusing on the day job”
Scottish Liberal Democrat leader @agcolehamilton says “chaos” at the “heart of government” means the issues that matter are being ignored

I met with the Economic Secretary to discuss updating the Financial Services and Markets Act.
Improvements to existing banking hubs is one thing. However, banks still need to fulfil their duty of service when it comes to preserving face-to-face banking.

This afternoon the Scottish Parliament paid tribute to Jim Wallace with a motion of condolence. Although it seemed he lived many lives in one, he was taken from us far too soon. I learned so much from him in the years we worked together.

Jim Wallace was one of the architects of modern Scotland and one of the finest liberals our party has ever produced.
He believed deeply in devolution as a way to give people better services and more control over their lives and he lived a life of public service.
