The United States has vetoed a U.N. Security Council resolution demanding a immediate and unconditional ceasefire in Gaza.

After 9 weeks of training 3 times a week - doing couch to 5km- did my second 5km run (my first was 15 years ago!). Looking forward to continuing the journey 🏃🏻‍♀️

We're working flat out to make our NHS better - cutting waiting times, and making it easier to see your GP. We're protecting the most vulnerable from cruel Westminster policies. We're serious about Scotland.

Great to be at the Scottish Government launch of its Responsible Dog Ownership Summit report with Minister for Community Safety @siobhian.bsky.social and the National Dog Wardens Association today

A fantastic Ayrshire Chamber of Commerce annual dinner last night celebrating Ayrshire business with principal sponsor SG Developing the Young Workforce who highlighted the crucial role employers play in shaping the future. An amazing £10,777 was raised for local Ayrshire charities 👏

🥀 Both current and former Scottish Labour MSPs know Labour are wrong on cutting support for disabled people. @anassarwar.bsky.social - are your MSPs wrong?

Labour campaigned to protect disability benefits. Now they're cutting £5 billion from the most vulnerable. Scotland chooses a different path - one of fairness, dignity, and protection for the most vulnerable. We stand for a better Scotland, Labour stands for broken promises.

Lovely to catch up with Kelsey and Barbara from local charity, Seascape. Seascape provides essential support for people facing homelessness and hardship.

@nicolasturgeon.bsky.social your dedication to public service and to serve the people of Scotland has been inspirational to so many over many years. Wishing you a very happy, peaceful next chapter. Thank you 🙏. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🌎

US Vice President has claimed the Scottish government told people they could be breaking the law by praying in their own homes. I have received several emails about this today. For clarity these claims by the US Vice President are totally inaccurate and infact are ludicrous.

Five years on from Brexit, my pledge is that Scotland will never go along with the toxic politics of Farage. Being in the mainstream of Europe, as an independent country, is our destiny.

🇪🇺 Five years since Scotland was dragged out of the EU, people are still paying the price. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 We’re ready to work with anyone who’ll help us rebuild Scotland’s ties with Europe, says @johnswinney.bsky.social in today’s @theguardian.com www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 We will ALWAYS have your back
