1 Day before the election Swinney cancelled the furlough scheme.
115 jobs went because their scheme was designed to help Beijing.
He had 6 weeks to clear this up, yet his candidates put "Support for ADL workers" on leaflets put through my constituents doors.
Utter disgrace.

The SNP are not short on promises about improving children’s lives, but delivery is what matters.
The evidence in this report is clear: there is a lack of clarity around implementation, delivery, and accountability. The Promise won’t be delivered by 2030 without meaningful support and funding.
When the Cabinet Secretary came to committee, she couldn’t say how much it will cost to reduce class contact time. There is no clear plan from the Government on how extra class-free time should be best used to improve staff workloads, and increase our quality of education.
🆕 Ahead of the #ScottishBudget, we have been scrutinising the progress made on reducing teachers' class contact time, and the progress made towards implementing reforms to the children’s care system known as The Promise.
We have now published our report: ow.ly/ETW05103ZQr
ALT A graphic which says "Report - Pre-budget scrutiny 2027-28: class contact time and reforms to the children's care system" beside a blurred photograph of two unidentified children playing in an autumnal scene.

For too long Scotland has had an industrial policy which exports jobs.
Scottish Labour will back Scottish industry, back Scottish jobs and grow our economy.
Workers deserve better than this.

The SNP rushed through their bus order scheme to announce it before the election campaign, realised they had bungled it, and then cancelled the furlough offer to workers the day before Scotland went to the polls.
Workers were kept in the dark about this during the election.

Did you watch the #traitors finale last week?
It was longer than John Swinney’s meetings to plan ripping up local councils.

MSPs and Ministers must work together to deliver the long-term funding framework for hospice care so that everyone can know they will be looked after at end of life.
Scottish Labour retweeted
Families are right to be sceptical that lessons will be learned from their tragedies.
They want a public inquiry to get to the truth.
Scottish Labour retweeted
Scotland’s public services are already stretched to breaking point
The answer isn’t another costly reorganisation or passing the buck to councils and communities
We need reform that delivers better services,with the investment now to save money and improve lives in the long run
Scottish Labour retweeted
Billions are being invested by our UK Labour Government in our country’s defence. Are enough young Scots being trained for those new jobs?
Every young person deserves a fair go in life.

✅£6m to expand Glasgow's SEC
✅£20m for DTECs
✅£18m for advanced chip design & innovation
Backing Scotland's future.

Rosyth’s skills are among the rarest in the country. Today I introduced a Bill to give the workforce certainty: 200 jobs already, 300 skilled jobs for 20-30 years with a long-term plan.
You can’t switch skills like these on and off.
A cross-party group of MSPs say they don’t have enough information about the SNP’s budget plans.
SNP MSP Clare Haughey said:
“We have insufficient evidence to determine whether the Scottish Government’s tax and spending plans are affordable and sustainable.”
