Rhoda Grant MSP Backs GB Energy Being Based in The Highlands and Islands thehighlandtimes.com/rhoda-grant-ms… Rhoda Grant

Lovely to bump into my friend and former colleague Rhoda Grant in beautiful, sunny Inverness

Today, the work to set up GB Energy began. One of the first priorities of GB Energy will be to massively scale up community energy. Energy owned by your community, powering your community, creating profit for your community.

17 years of SNP financial mismanagement has left public finances at breaking point. Scotland cannot keep paying the price for SNP failure. My The Daily Record column 👇 dailyrecord.co.uk/news/politics/…

We all have the capacity to love humanity but we don’t all have the same bravery to serve humanity as aid worker Linda Norgrove, her extraordinary family LindaNorgroveFoundation and these 19 trailblazing women. It was the deepest privilege to welcome my new sisters to Scotland.

Community organisations across the Highlands and Islands are being asked to take part in a new study to explore how to maximise opportunities to generate community wealth. #CommunityWealthBuilding Details in the link below: hie.co.uk/latest-news/20…

Thank you for taking the time to show me the wonderful work you are doing on increasing sea grass meadows and reintroducing oysters. Great to see communities coming together to restore their marine environment.

A really interesting visit to Eigg today, learning about community energy, housing, crofting and biodiversity in a community owned island. Thank you to all who shared their knowledge and understanding.

It's not just us saying it. Audit Scotland, the SFC, Fraser of Allander & the IFS all conclude that pressures on the Scottish Budget are because of the SNP's own spending decisions. Scots are footing the bill for SNP incompetence. It's time for change. dailyrecord.co.uk/news/politics/…

Brilliant to speak to Inverness & Nairn #Labour Party this morning about Scotland being at the heart of the new The Labour Party Government. Followed by some canvassing for the #Inverness central by-election. 🌹

Services are facing brutal cuts because of SNP financial mismanagement. How did we get here? 👇

Scots are paying the price for SNP financial incompetence.

You are paying the price for SNP incompetence. It's time for change.

Pledging to build 11,000 affordable rural homes will have little or no impact if the Scottish Government categorise commuter areas as rural. It is much more expensive to build in island and genuinely rural communities. This needs to change to stop depopulation of rural Scotland.

The SNP has lost its way, is incompetent in government, and is bad with your money. My response to the finance statement today.

On my ScotRail train to #Edinburgh for the annual Scottish Environment LINK parliamentary reception this evening as Marine Conservation Society The theme this year is on Communities of Place and is sponsored by Rhoda Grant MSP. Looking forward to the discussions! Will I see you there?

On the release of the Programme for Government, our co-chair Monica Lennon MSP has called on the Scottish government to commit to at least doubling the size of the co-op sector in Scotland, leading on community-owned energy and supporting Rhoda Grant's Right to Food Bill.

What a fantastic evening at the Scottish Environment LINK parliamentary reception tonight 🥰 Wonderful to celebrate after the Natural Environment Bill was announced by John Swinney today! Had to get a photo with Esther from Save Scottish Seas wearing a fab turtle dress! #ScotlandLovesNature

We need a Government in Scotland that is serious about saving our NHS.

Pay more, get less with the SNP.
