We promised to bring down NHS waiting lists - and that's exactly what we're doing.

Today's stats show long waits fell for the fourth month in a row, and we're investing a record ยฃ531m over three years to make it easier to see your GP.

While Labour and the Tories chase Reformโ€™s rhetoric, the SNP under my leadership will always focus on what matters: serving Scotland and staying true to our progressive values.

In short, delivering progress for Scotland. ๐Ÿด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ณ๓ ฃ๓ ด๓ ฟ

The SNP will always back Scotlandโ€™s frontline services, like the NHS.

The Tories wonโ€™t.

There's been a deafening silence about this story for some reason but I suspect that had it related to Holyrood, Cardiff Bay or Stormont then the Westminster media would have been all over it like a free Starmer suit.

Scottish bowel screening programme beats target, reduces inequality and is far superior to NHS England The situation in NHS England is a matter of grave concern. See this from the Guardian yesterday: Cancer Research UK is concerned that as many as 1,100 people a year in England with bowel cancer areโ€ฆ

Tory and Labour join forces to get the Herald to come up with an SNP BAD headline on bowel cancer but don't mention this:-

Good news!

Since the inception of the scheme, 35,278 baby boxes have been delivered in Grampian & a whopping 324, 968 have been distributed Scotland-wide.

Many forget that much of Mosley's support came from working class areas, it's dangerous to just think that racists and fascists don't have appeal outside the right wing. Just look at Trump!

In Scotland voters increasingly dislike right wing politics. In stark contrast, voters in England remain very attracted. In 2024 only 20% of voters chose a right wing party in Scotland, compared with 41% in England.

And England always gets to choose who rules in Westminster.
