Thousands of children and adults regularly wait more than a year for mental health treatment.

Yet earlier this year, it was revealed that the Scottish Government had made a horrific £80 million real terms reduction to the mental health budget.

Cheeky little 100+ contacts made tonight in Ratho, for Christine Jardine 🔶 🔶🔶🔶

While we may have a new First Minister, this is the same cabinet that has failed to tackle A&E for years.

The crisis in our A&E departments must not continue to be ignored.

We need to see meaningful action taken to reverse this situation, not just more talk from the SNP.

There can be few more pressing priorities for a government than uncovering why the death rate among new-born babies has spiked.

Alongside taking forward the recommendations from the report, the Scottish Government should schedule time for parliament to discuss this report.

Bills, delays and disruptions are all islanders and taxpayers have ever known from these ferries.

As one of his first acts, John Swinney must get a grip of this never-ending ferry fiasco.

Early intervention can avoid a problem becoming something far worse.

Schemes like this should provide hope in the darkness amid Scotland’s worsening mental health crisis but like much else it has been badly neglected by this SNP government.

In 1913 around 370 ships were built on the Clyde that year alone. Today two ferries ordered eight years ago are yet to be delivered. What has gone wrong?

Superb support for Jamie Stone MP and our Tain & Easter Ross, by-election candidate, Barbara Cohen in Balintore, today. Sun splitting the skies too ☀️🔶🔶🔶🔶

As you watch the Aurora this evening, it’s worth reflecting that you’re getting a rare direct glimpse of the power of Nature. Those charged particles causing the atmosphere to glow came from a sunspot complex 17 times the diameter of Earth and traveled across 90 million miles at…

Young people voting for first time in 2026 Holyrood elections will have only known SNP rule.

All the while their local health services have collapsed, their schools have slipped down 🌍 rankings and local rivers filled with sewage.

Time to get rid 👇🏻

No sign of a Swinney bounce in the doors of Inverness, today. Quite the opposite in fact. Angus MacDonald absolutely smashing it. 🔶🔶🔶

We need ministers that won’t make empty promises but will get the basics right.

The Scottish Government needs to have a laser focus on the issues that really matter, like tackling long waits for healthcare and violence in our schools.

Robin Currie was a proud Liberal and a devoted islander. We will miss him.
