25 years ago today the new Scottish Parliament sat for the first time.

As we celebrate, let us reflect on the founding principle of our devolved parliament: that decisions should be taken as close to the people they affect.

Happy Birthday Scottish Parliament!

John Swinney does not seem to accept the scale of the crisis facing our NHS.

It is time to stand up for teachers and stand up for the next generation.

It was a joy to meet Sarah and Cat from the Teapot Trust on Monday and catch up about the brilliant services they offer young people who are in or attending hospital!

I firmly believe a better future for Scotland lies ahead of us.

Together, we can deliver it.

It’s time for change.

Our Scottish Parliament - a 'voice to shape Scotland, a voice for the future', as Donald Dewar once said.

With Labour, the days of fighting old battles will be over - we can make Holyrood the voice for the future once again.

People have been let down by those in power so much. So they ask us... how can we trust you to deliver if we give you the opportunity?

After 17 years of SNP and Tory failure, devolution needs re-set and renewed.

Scottish Labour is determined to deliver the change that Scotland needs.

Great to be out and about over last two days chatting to people in Gifford and Dunbar. Voters who are demanding a #change of two failing governments. The beautiful weather also adds a #spring to the step. Douglas Alexander

Hours after John Swinney and the SNP’s vote collapses in his first by-election, another poll shows Scots are crying out for change.

At the next election, the choice will be clear – more division and decline with the SNP and Tories or a fresh start with Scottish Labour.
 
Only Labour can kick the Tories out of Downing St, tackle the cost-of-living crisis and deliver the change Scotland needs.

It’s time for change.

But we’re taking nothing for granted - we’re working hard to earn your trust to deliver the change our country needs.

Huge congratulations to Mary Hume! Scottish Labour's newest councillor.

People across Scotland have had enough of the status quo. It's time for change.

Scotland cannot afford a distracted, divided, and incompetent Government.

It's time for change - and Scottish Labour is ready to deliver it.

Great to be out leafleting with PSG Branch members in Prestonpans this evening!

Continuity won’t cut it. It’s time for change.

Both John Swinney and the entire SNP’s record is mired in chaos and failure, says Anas Sarwar

In tomorrow's Daily Record, Scottish Labour leader Anas Sarwar has accused the SNP of a “backroom stitch-up” to install John Swinney as first minister #ScotPapers #TomorrowsPapersToday

While local election results continue to come in across England today, here in ⁦East Lothian Labour⁩ we’re out campaigning for support for the coming General Election. Right across the country people are understandably disillusioned with the Government and looking for change.

Out and about speaking with voters in #Tranent with Douglas Alexander and Iain Gray. People want a change of two governments both here and at Westminster. #VoteLabour East Lothian Labour
