MSPs have agreed that @scotparl should elect conveners instead of appointing them through party negotiations. Following a debate led by Standards Convener @_MWhitfield MSP, the Standing Orders will be updated to include a procedure for electing conveners in the next session.

Reform and the Tories haven't a clue about our energy security and would leave us dangerously exposed to an international fossil fuel market we can never control. Now more than ever moving to a clean power system where we do have energy sovereignty is the right choice.

Watch the Reform UK's James Orr humiliate himself on #BBCQT James Orr, "When the wind doesn't blow, you need gas to back it up and sometimes the wind doesn't blow" Fiona Bruce asks how drilling helps us is oil and gas are traded on the international market James Orr, "Prices are fixed internationally but a portion of them is connected to" Caroline Lucas, "It really isn't. It's sold on international markets to the highest bidder" James Orr, "That's not true.. Bills are higher because of unreliable renewables" Caroline Lucas, "They are not unreliable. All we need are interconnectors so when its not windy in this country you import the wind power from somewhere else" "I just despair at the kind of lies James, you are telling to people" James Orr, "These are not lies" Caroline Lucas, "They are"

Delighted to be in Rosyth today announcing the U.K. Government’s investment in its port facilities to support a ferry service to France. We promised a U.K. Labour Government - with Scots at its heart - delivering for Scotland.

Lower bills for farmers, schools, factories and more - today we’re making it easier to install small wind turbines by removing the need for planning permission. This will make it faster to build small-scale clean energy that can reduce costs and make best use of land.

Under @theSNP, around 40% of police stations across Scotland have closed, raising concerns about the loss of local policing. It's time for change.

@AnasSarwar @kath14sangster The Scottish Government have destroyed Scottish Local Government. Their funding reductions has decimated youth work in our Communities along with their facilities. They now have no support in the evenings to get involved in positive activities so our young people are vulnerable.

1,146 suspected drug deaths across Scotland last year. Each one a life lost. Each one a family left grieving. Seven years on from a national emergency being declared, this crisis is still deepening. Scotland needs change - urgent, nationwide action on prevention, treatment and recovery.

1,146 suspected drug deaths in Scotland last year - the equivalent of three people every day. 81 more deaths than 2024. The SNP promised to get a grip of the drugs death crisis. They have failed.
