Proud to have voted in Parliament this evening for an increase to the Carer’s Allowance Supplement in December to recognise the additional pressure carers face as a result of the pandemic.

I’d like to thank all carers across Blantyre, Halfway, Cambuslang and Rutherglen who make an immense contribution to our society by caring for family, friends and neighbours 👏

👪 Families of more than 79,000 children are saving almost £5,000 per child a year thanks to The Scottish Government’s free Early Learning and Childcare places.

Since August, all three and four-year-olds and two-year-olds who need it most have been eligible for 1,140 hours of funded ELC.

As Children’s Minister, it’s clear to me that funded ELC is helping hard-pressed families.

The move follows the understandable public concern surrounding the horrendous murder of Sarah Everard.

Deputy Chief Constable Will Kerr says the onus is on the...

Delighted that we – the SNP – have reached a co-operation agreement with the Scottish Green Party.

This agreement is not a coalition, and both parties will maintain their distinctive and principled voices in Scottish politics. However, there is much we agree upon about the future we want for our country.

This agreement provides opportunities to address the challenges that we face,...

👏 The wait is finally over, and it’s great to see the David Livingstone Birthplace open this morning.

Born in 1813 in Blantyre, David Livingstone spent 30 years exploring southern, central, and eastern Africa, often in places where no European had previously ventured.

The museum dedicated to the life of the famous explorer and missionary is looking brilliant and I’d encourage all to...

As Children’s Minister, I welcome legislation and guidance that comes into force today to protect sibling relationships for children in care.

The new regulations mean local authorities have a duty to ensure siblings are supported to stay together, where appropriate.

This is a milestone in The Scottish Government ’s commitment to #KeepthePromise to drive changes in how we care for...
