Every family in Scotland deserves somewhere to call home. That’s why I’ve announced an extra £80 million to bring empty properties back into use as affordable homes. Reducing the number of households, including children, in temporary accommodation is a priority for @theSNP.
Taxpayers are not being deterred from moving to Scotland despite higher income tax rates, new figures from HMRC suggest. dlvr.it/T5yS2G 👇 Full story

Across all income tax bands, more people from the rest of the UK are moving to Scotland than leaving. Nearly 4,200 more a year on average since 2017/18, bringing £200 million extra taxable income to Scotland in 2021/22. That's more money to invest in Scotland's public services.

The world’s biggest floating wind farm has been given the go-ahead off Scotland’s coast. i.stv.tv/3xEGRgv
The report states clearly: UNRWA is “irreplaceable and indispensable” for the Palestinians. Belgium calls the countries that have suspended their contributions to resume them. (2/2)
We were correct in continuing our support for @UNRWA. The @UN report by @MinColonna, positively assesses the organization’s neutrality and reinforces our decision. (1/2) news.un.org/en/story/2024/…
This further cements Scotland’s reputation as a global leader in floating wind technology. @scotgov will invest £500 million to boost Scotland's offshore wind supply chain and create green jobs. #NetZero isn't just a climate imperative, it's an enormous economic opportunity.
Green Volt, one of the world’s largest floating windfarms, has been approved off the Aberdeenshire coast, in what will be a jobs boost for the region. #Wind #EnergyTransition eu1.hubs.ly/H08Js-w0

Pleasure to be currently working again with this big icon. One of the loveliest gents around with endless stories spanning an incredible career. Get along if you can I will be.
In April and May, I’ll be touring around Scotland with the incredible James Cosmo, hosting a series of In Conversation events in Greenock, Glasgow, Perth and Ayr. Looking forward to it hugely. Tickets here: jamescosmo.com/press-media/ev…
What do early failures to find peace in Ukraine tell us about the prospects for future compromise? I look at the question in the Guardian today: theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
I shared the news with colleagues and students this morning that I plan to retire as Principal of @UofGlasgow. 👇 gla.ac.uk/myglasgow/prof… By the time I step back in late 2025, I will have served 16 years as Principal & well over 20 years in HE senior management. (1/7)
Join us tomorrow in Edinburgh for the 'Busk Against Brexit' at 1pm outside the City Chambers and at 4pm outside the Scottish Parliament. Musicians now face many barriers as a result of Brexit so come along, cheer the buskers and support our campaign.
That’s a wrap! Today is my last day in charge of Scotland’s Railway after nearly seven years in the job. It’s been the privilege of my life to run this country’s railway and work with the amazing people at @ScotRail and @NetworkRailSCOT to deliver for customers. I’ll miss you. 😢

Absolutely loving the new Perth museum. Until recently, these truths about the Highlands were treated as radical. Seeing them on ‘official’ plaques is wonderful.
Proud to lead a Government that has progressive values at its core. Our progressive income tax means we're asking the 5% highest earners to pay a little more so we can invest in public services, with the majority of tax payers paying less than they would elsewhere in the UK.

Glad to announce our tenth grandchild arrived today our fifth granddaughter Sabine…!
🧵Following the FM around Highlands and Islands to end the week. Yday we had stops in Dingwall and Ullapool (ft. the iciest breeze I have felt in some time) before an evening ferry crossing to Stornoway where we had a wide-ranging conversation on Gaza, hate crime, ferries + more.
3 days in and still some wild takes on Scottish hate crime act It criminalises behaviour a reasonable person would consider threatening or abusive which is intended to stir up hatred against someone based on protected characteristics It is NOT based on perception of complainant
Over the years I’ve lost two friends, one Palestinian and one Lebanese, and nearly lost a third, a French cameraman, to the willingness of IDF soldiers to open fire even though they knew perfectly well who they were. But they felt sure their superiors would protect them.
As so often, @Channel4News reporting gets to the heart of the indiscriminate slaughter in #Gaza. The vehicles carrying the aid workers were targeted three times until all of them were killed. Just let that sink in….
“I’m not attacking you, I’m just asking a simple question.” @krishgm asks an Israeli spokesman whether the government will apologise to the families of seven people killed in a @WCKitchen aid convoy, amid reports of repeated strikes on aid agencies.
The Perth Museum has been a resounding success. Let’s hope we keep this up. thecourier.co.uk/fp/news/perth-…
It's really disappointing to see this in the city I love. It is possible to disagree with @BenMacpherson whilst respecting the fact he was democratically elected. Ultimately, it is his staff who will feel the intimidation here - unacceptable in any workplace.
