Racism has no place in football. No place in our communities. No place in our future. 92 teams and Scottish Premiership players unite to mark 30 years of Show Racism the Red Card. Full story: theredcard.org/news/92-teams…

Energy can be the sector that powers economic growth and secures well paid jobs in Scotland. Jackdaw is a key development in Scotland’s reindustrialisation. This is a pragmatic decision that puts industry before ideology. It’s the right decision.

I said I would make the case for further devolution within Scotland directly to Downing Street and Bute House. I’m delighted Andy is backing this approach, and I hope John Swinney does too. Let’s work together to put power in the hands of local people.
"My message to John is simple, I want to push economic power out into the regions of Scotland, do you?" Andy Burnham challenges Scotland's First Minister John Swinney to "push power" out from Westminster and Holyrood "into the hands of local people" bbc.in/4yl7lNX

Sculpture House in Ferguslie Park is an artist-led organisation that supports local artists and works to widen access to arts in the community. It was great to visit recently alongside artist James Rigler and SCAN Deputy Director Helen Moore. 📸 Hannah Turner Photography

Scotland is facing a social care crisis too. The SNP government must follow Andy Burnham's lead and step up with courage to end it. My latest Paisley Daily Express column 👇

The support hospices provide to patients and families is invaluable and it is vital that they are funded properly. It was great to learn more at @hospiceuk's @ScotParl reception this week, alongside @StVincentsHosp Chair @revlornascot and CEO Gillian Green.

Yesterday’s announcement was about provoking a constitutional row with the SNP, not backing Scottish workers. We back new nuclear. That investment is ready to go. Both governments should work together to deliver it.
Exclusive: The UK Government will not override Holyrood to bring in new nuclear, energy minister Michael Shanks has said. Shanks said Labour are "devolutionists" and “ripping up the Scotland Act to force through new nuclear isn’t the right approach”. scotsman.com/news/politics/l…

There's a big difference between Andy Burnham and John Swinney when it comes to trying to fix social care...

One of the findings from my report on the management of the ScotWind leasing round was that it's not clear how the £755m raised is being used. It's important the Scottish Government is more transparent about its plans. My report: shorturl.at/nfpBF

This is a tone deaf response from the First Minister. Let’s engage positively as a country.
In Scotland, we provide free personal care for older people without punishing pensioners. Andy Burnham removing the triple lock would simply repeat the mistakes of Keir Starmer. The blame for the UK’s financial mess lies with successive Westminster governments, not pensioners.
