NEW: John Swinney has appointed his cabinet

Hi Michael. Did you or did you not vote last night to keep crushing Carbon Taxes on British refineries? We are down to four refineries and they are spending more on the Government’s Carbon Tax than their wage bill. I imagine they have been banging on your door to tell you this. Are you even listening? No, you would rather import jet fuel from Indian refineries, using Putin’s oil, with twice the emissions, than back British production. You keep wanging on about our oil being sold abroad, the vast majority is refined here or in Europe, without it both us and our allies are more dependent not less on dictators like Putin. This is obvious to everybody, but you.

Banking services matter to communities.  That’s why in our manifesto we committed to working with industry on the rollout of 350 banking hubs across the country.  But today we’re going further… 👇🧵

Yes, because the SNP are the victims here.

It was the honour of my life to move the Loyal Address -the first Muslim to do so. This moment belongs to the people of Bradford West. Their trust and faith in me made it possible. An opportunity of a lifetime. A privilege I owe to Bradford and to Britain. Full speech 🔽

Lots of remote commentators raging that Alliance to Liberate Scotland ‘cost’ the SNP the Eileanan An Iar seat (there is no Western Isles constituency). Maybe it was a decent guy that stood for Labour? Maybe it was ferries? Maybe it was central belt ignoring us? Na, of course not.
