The SNP should focus on helping young people achieve their goals by improving school standards and creating jobs
Instead,they choose to announce gimmicks such as laptops and bikes (never delivered)
Now it’s taxpayer funded school bags that will not close the attainment gap
Meghan Gallacher MSP retweeted
The Scottish Conservatives are clear about what needs to change.
Will Labour listen?
I have submitted a question to ask the Scottish Government to provide evidence that a school bag will close the attainment gap.
Character bags can cost between £11-£15
Branded rucksacks between £15-£20
Why are they squandering taxpayers money?!
SNP to 'squander' £2.7m on handing free bags to school pupils - at cost of £28 a bag - scottishdailyexpress.co.uk/n…

When a Chinese wind turbine factory in Scotland was blocked over national security concerns, John Swinney put on a tin-foil hat - saying the decision was "anti-Scottish".
Now this👇
This summer, John Swinney was pushing the UK gov and PM to reverse a block on the Chinese-owned Ming Yang wind farm factory. Tonight, The Sunday Times reveals the chairman was named in a Communist regime bribery scandal. SNP due diligence?

Today at Holyrood I hosted a meeting of female victims of violence and their families.
Brave and determined, they raised their ordeals directly with John Swinney.
Far too many are failed by Scotland's justice system - and my party is determined to put that right.

In today’s’Scotsman’ and now on my blog my ‘magnificent polemic’ on the disastrous Scottish PISA results:

Meghan Gallacher MSP retweeted
Scotland's PISA education performance report is appalling on a brief glance
Well below England on reading, science, and maths, but the SNP are insisting it's fine as it's internationally "competitive"
In reality it's decades of sustained decline and failure of Scotland's kids.

Lindsay Paterson, professor emeritus of education policy at Edinburgh University has analysed Scotland’s PISA results since the introduction of Curriculum for Excellence
Meghan Gallacher MSP retweeted
Breaking. PISA results for 2025 show Scottish pupils are more than a year behind their English peers for maths and science. Also behind on reading. (20 points is equivalent of a year of schooling) 1/4

In March, we wrote to the Independent Advisers of the Scottish Ministerial Code regarding possible breaches by Ministers, including the First Minister.
We finally got a reply - but not from them. There is much that is rotten in the state of Scotland.

A government insider told me the cat tail pokes out from the bottom of the person's dress and 'no one is quite sure what it's attached to'.
I really thought the civil-servant-dressed-as-a-cat story was nonsense.
Well, I was wrong:

🌾 Labour’s Family Farm Tax is a betrayal of the UK’s rural and farming communities.
Andy Burnham has the chance to mend this - but it needs action, not just warm words.
🔹 @VictoriaAtkins and I have joined 129 @Conservatives MPs, MSPs and MSs have written to Andy Burnham urging him to scrap Labour’s Family Farm Tax, before it’s too late.
Why are @ForWomenScot still waiting to meet with you, @JohnSwinney ?
We are still waiting - over a year on - for @JohnSwinney to fulfil his promise to meet with us.
