Great to meet @Miatsf to discuss the potential of energy to be the sector that powers economic growth in Scotland.

Congratulations to President @LulaOficial on your re-election - a true victory for democracy and progressive values.
I look forward continuing to work together as we create opportunities for people in the UK and Brazil.

Too many retail workers are facing unacceptable levels of abuse, intimidation and theft while simply doing their jobs. Today at Home Office Questions, I asked what steps the Government is taking to reduce the abuse experienced by retail workers.

Thank you @RichardBakerMP for both the warm (!) welcome and for all your tireless work advocating & campaigning for the Methil Yard. As a U.K. Labour Government we helped save the yard so it’s great to see its revival.
Grey skies but hopeful spirits as @D_G_Alexander and I welcomed @LukePollard to the Methil yard. We heard about the investment in staff, apprenticeships and facilities since @Navantia_UK took on the yard, and the opportunities for further expansion with Programme Euston.
ALT Richard, Luke and Douglas with apprentices at the yard.

Reindustrialisation in action. 👏
Scottish Secretary @D_G_Alexander visited @Navantia_UK's Methil yard with @LukePollard to hear about investment, new facilities and plans to increase its apprenticeship commitment by 50%.
The UK Government is backing jobs, apprentices, and industrial capability across Scotland.

At this very moment RAF pilots stand ready to launch RAF Typhoons as quick reaction aircraft from RAF Lossiemouth. HMS Prince of Wales is in the High North keeping the UK and allies safe and MOD teams protect our nation’s cyber and digital infrastructure. I’m proud of our forces
Luke Pollard, UKG minister for defence readiness and industry, was at Navantia in Methil this morning meeting shipyard apprentices - but he accused the SNP of “doing Putin’s dirty work” when asked about John Swinney’s claim that Scottish waters are “dangerously exposed”

As a U.K. Labour Government we stepped in to help save the Methil Yard in 2025.
It was great to visit this morning, meet the apprentices, observe the record new investment, & see our policy of reindustrialisation in action.

Congratulations to my friend @LulaOficial on his electoral victory.
Democracy and multilateralism have won in Brazil.
Europe’s partnership with Brazil is thriving.
We will remain by your side for the years to come.
Together we will keep working closely for free and open trade.
A rules-based global order.
And strong ambitions for our climate.

Congratulations, President @LulaOficial, on your re-election in Brazil.
The relationship between Canada and Brazil has flourished under our partnership. Let’s seize this opportunity to make it even stronger, together — to create major new trade opportunities, protect the environment, and build greater prosperity for both our peoples.

Great to be out in Bridgeton and Dalmarnock this morning listening to residents.
People have asked what is happening to the Legacy Hub. @RedmondLabour and I continue to press the council for progress so that local people benefit from it.

I am disgusted & mortified to hear of the cowardly terrorist attack in #Jordan, killing 7. Jordan is a peaceful nation that provides sanctuary to millions fleeing conflict. My heart reaches out to all affected 🙏🏻 @ManarMDabbas @JOembassyUK bbc.co.uk/news/articles/ck87…
