Shona Robison SNP

Motorists are being hammered at the pumps, households are facing unaffordable bills, and Westminster is doing nothing. Ireland and Spain have already stepped in to protect their people.

Every NHS staff member in Scotland is getting the World Cup bank holiday. A well-earned thank you to the staff who care for Scotland every day.

Final FMQs of this Parliament. I think of 1999 when I sat as a new MSP in our reconvened Scottish Parliament, and the colleagues who won’t be standing again. I am deeply grateful for their service and their friendship. Now, we’re ready to write the next chapter for Scotland. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Independence means the power to choose our own future. 🚨 Westminster doesn't work for Scotland. Scotland needs a fresh start with independence to: 🩺 Protect Scotland's NHS 🇪🇺 Rejoin Europe as an equal partner ⚡️ Use Scotland's energy wealth to lower your bills #ActiveSNP

Scotland is energy rich, yet we pay some of the highest energy bills in Europe. With bills expected to soar by £332 from July, they'd be £705 higher than Labour promised at the election. It's time Westminster took action to protect families and froze the energy price cap.

It's 20 years since smoking was banned inside public places. Since 2006, the level of second-hand smoke exposure has decreased in no small part due to the ban of smoking in places like pubs and restaurants.

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 @theSNP are ready to win the election, win for Scotland, and win independence. 🧒 Year-round childcare from 9 months to the end of primary school. 🏡 £10,000 towards a deposit for first-time buyers. 🩺 30 walk-in GP clinics to bypass the 8am rush. Make it #BothVotesSNP

Too many young people feel home ownership is out of reach - trapped by high rents, rising bills and the struggle to save for a deposit. That’s why, if re-elected, the SNP will provide up to £10,000 towards a deposit to help first-time buyers get on the housing ladder. Make it #BothVotesSNP on May 7. #SNP26

Parents across Scotland have told us they need more support. The working day does not stop at 3pm. A re-elected SNP Government will extend childcare from 9 months old to the end of primary school, 52 weeks a year. Make it #BothVotesSNP on May 7 for a Scottish Government on your side. #SNP26
