The Clyde Metro should be Glasgow’s next great infrastructure project — but communities who’ve waited too long are being left behind. No route map. No funding plan. No urgency. The SNP Government must deliver a clear, costed timeline. glasgowtimes.co.uk/news/2521…

£13 million wasted on agency staff because of SNP austerity and incompetence. They've hollowed out vital services, handed fortunes to private firms, and left our city dirtier than ever. Glasgow deserves better. glasgowtimes.co.uk/news/2511…

“In Glasgow, where diversity is our strength, we must push back against that hate. That means taking a stand not just in words but in how we lead and who we lift up.” - ⁦@Soryia⁩ glasgowtimes.co.uk/news/2509…

This is your choice in 2026. It’s time for a new direction.

The SNP’s addiction to waste is bad for taxpayers, bad for public services and bad for trust in politics. As First Minister, I will end the SNP’s quango culture and restore accountability in politics. dailyrecord.co.uk/news/polit…

The Labour government is investing an additional £200 million in a transition plan for refining at Grangemouth in the space of just 9 months. It has also guaranteed full pay for all refinery workers for the next 18 months to help manage the affected workers into new industrial roles at the complex. The SNP government has known that oil refining in Scotland was under threat for at least 5 years but equivocated until the Chinese state-owned joint venture made its final decision in September. Crude oil refining is also only one core operation within the wider world-scale Grangemouth petrochemical manufacturing cluster. There are seven crude oil refineries currently operating in the UK. Grangemouth is the oldest one still operating. The refinery started operations in 1924 and has a Nelson Complexity Index (NCI) of 6.8. The UK average is 9. The European average is 7.6. American and Asian refineries are typically over 10. The refinery at Grangemouth would need to be rebuilt from the ground up and on a much larger scale to be competitive globally. 46% of Grangemouth Refinery's output is petrol and diesel. No new petrol or diesel cars will be sold in Britain after 2030. Scunthorpe is the last steelworks in Britain with operational blast furnaces capable of primary steel production. If these two blast furnaces were allowed to go permanently cold in the coming days, the UK would become the only G7 nation to lose its basic steel production capability. Scotland's last plate mill, Dalzell in Motherwell, is reliant on Scunthorpe to provide it with slab steel, which is then hot rolled into thinner plates for use in structural steel fabrication for projects like energy generation infrastructure, construction and shipbuilding. Demand for these secondary steel products will likely increase substantially with new projects for wind, tidal, and nuclear energy in the coming years. I have repeatedly asked the Scottish Government if it will actively support the redevelopment of integrated steelmaking in Scotland by advocating for the construction of an Electric Arc Furnace at the decommissioned Clydebridge Steelworks site in Cambuslang or at Dalzell. Their response was that it is a matter for the private sector. Scotland and the UK needs a proactive, effective, coherent state-led plan for industrial development, and not opportunistic, simplistic, facile takes like this one 👇🏻

These families are understandably anxious and desperate to get their children the life-saving help they need. There are children in England already getting this treatment for free but Scots are still waiting. This requires urgency from the SNP Government. dailyrecord.co.uk/news/scott…
