Scotland’s delivering more homes per head than anywhere else in the UK.

Since 2007, we’ve delivered 136,705 affordable homes - 97,099 for councils and housing associations.

We’re focused on what matters to you: secure homes, strong communities, and a fairer Scotland.

Swinney: SNP is 'back in business' and will beat Labour in 2026 John Swinney has declared the SNP 'back in business' as he warns Scottish Labour his party will win in 2026.

John Swinney is right - gaining by-election seats from Labour, reducing child poverty, driving business growth - the SNP is back in business ahead of 2026. 🏴󠁧󠁒󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

After 14 years of austerity and Liz Truss’ disaster mini-budget, the Tories have nothing left but division and despair.

They’re playing the radical right’s game - no vision, no solutions, just scapegoating.

Scotland won’t fall for it.

πŸ₯€ Labour’s record in Government so far would shame the Tories.

❌ Winter Fuel Payment - scrapped
❌ WASPI women - abandoned
❌ Household bills - skyrocketed

And all fully supported by Glasgow’s Labour MPs who refuse to stand up for their constituents.

Sarwar backs Starmer’s welfare cuts. Here’s what it means for you:

πŸ”΄ Thousands could lose vital support.
πŸ”΄ More people forced into poverty.
πŸ”΄ Holyrood will be left to pick up the pieces with less funding.

Scottish Labour is standing with Westminster, not with Scotland.

We must all work together to secure Grangemouth’s long-term future.
