Eid Mubarak to one and all 🌙 At a time of rising division, hatred and global uncertainty, Eid is a reminder of the values that matter most - compassion, community and frankly a chance for some mass celebration and to feel some happiness. We stand together. Wishing everyone a peaceful and joyful Eid 🕌🤲

The BBC is a national institution that we should ensure survives and thrives for decades to come. A permanent Royal Charter would give the BBC stability and renewed purpose. theguardian.com/media/2026/mar…

£4.5m of support for heating oil consumers in Scotland. Welcome news in Western Isles, half of households outside town rely on oil. Urging Scotgov to act just as rapidly and get help to low-income households.
Ed Miliband@Ed_Miliband

This Labour government is fighting people's corner. We're cutting energy bills. We're calling out price gouging. And just now the Prime Minister has set out further support for those who use heating oil. Affordability is the number one issue, and we're determined to act.

Gas and electricity bills are going down in two weeks because the Government took action. John Swinney should get a move on with: - Ending 12 hour waits at A&E - Cutting crime in our communities - Closing the attainment gap
John Swinney@JohnSwinney

It’s unacceptable that in energy-rich Scotland, people’s energy bills are going through the roof. The best solution to that comes with independence. Right now, the energy market is reserved to the UK government. It’s time they get a move on and protect households.

The extraordinary moment where the new CEO of Ferguson Marine reveals that the Glen Sannox needs replacement propellers because the original design wasn’t tested in water.

In the 19 months @wesstreeting has been in charge of the NHS, he has improved it month on month. In 19yrs of SNP govt Scotland's NHS is on now on life support. Enough is enough. Scotland needs change.
Katherine Sangster for Holyrood 2026@kath14sangster

Delighted to welcome @wesstreeting to the constituency and hear all about the positive changes in NHS England. Waiting times down ⬇️ More GP appointments and ambulances arriving faster 🚑 If you want to see this kind of change in Scotland you need to vote @ScottishLabour in May

I was knocking doors in Benbecula today. Almost everyone I spoke to mentioned the proposed closure of the Bank of Scotland branch, there are real concerns in the community about access to cash. That’s why I am supporting @torcuil’s call for a banking hub in Balivanich.

Interesting choice to do this at Murrayfield - capacity almost 70,000 - the same number of jobs lost under the Tories without them developing any kind of plan. The North Sea has a strong future but we need to recognise the transition and invest in it - that’s what we’re doing.
Andrew Bowie MP@AndrewBowie_MP

The oil and gas industry is under huge pressure, placing thousands of jobs in and around the sector at risk. But what does that really look like?
