This is a stale SNP government that has been in power too long, making empty promises and unable to get the basics right.

What Scotland needs now is not just a change in First Minister, but a change in government.

People can’t see a GP or an NHS dentist, our schools slipping down the international rankings, businesses struggling to make ends meet and islanders left without lifeline ferries.

Scotland needs a new government- one that won’t make empty promises but will get the basics right.

John Swinney does not represent the change we need in Scottish politics.

He has been a key figure in everything that the SNP has done for the last 17 years.

The change we need now in Scotland is an election.

If John Swinney is presumptive new leader of his party then I congratulate him.

But he has more baggage than an airport carousel.

Fair minded people will struggle to see how he can represent change we when he was in the room where it happened for 17yrs

Minister for Independence, Jamie Hepburn toils away with civil servants writing independence papers that no one reads.

We need a government laser focussed on the issues that matter to ordinary people, not an SNP government focussed on independence.

The Scottish Greens' legacy in government: topping the league table for sewage.

In 2023 both SNP and Greens presided over massive amounts of sewage being dumped.

What's worse is only a tiny proportion of sewage pipes are monitored, so the true picture is probably even grubbier.

Nobody should be forced to cross a picket line to access intimate medical treatment.

In 2019, the Pregnancy Advisory Service said more than 100,000 women were targeted outside clinics across the UK.

We will be backing the Abortion Buffer Zones bill today.

For 17 years, the SNP have been ignoring the people who do most of the heavy lifting.

People are working harder but feel like they are falling further behind and being taken for granted.

After 17 years in power it is clear that the SNP government’s priorities are not the people’s priorities.

People can’t get a doctor’s appointment or see an NHS dentist, our schools are tumbling down the international rankings and they have abandoned Scotland’s climate targets.

This Bill would centralise social care services, wrenching away local control and handing it to SNP ministers.

It is at odds with the European Charter of Local Self-Government that the Scottish Green party supports.

The National Care Service needs to be scrapped, not salvaged.

The SNP have completely failed to fix our A&E departments.

Years of ministerial disinterest are coming home to roost and leaving A&E departments stuck in crisis.

Patients and staff alike deserve better than this mismanagement.

It's not entirely clear who is in charge of Scotland right now but it is not Humza Yousaf.

People want to see a government that is focused on driving down waits for healthcare, tackling sewage dumping and taking action on the cost of living.

This is clearly not that government.

'The more that MPs and MSPs and members start to question your ability to carry on that run of wins, the more they look around and notice their deep political disagreements.

Unity breaks down.'

The two partners to this failed agreement are at each others’ throats.

They are now trying to blame each other, but in reality they have both failed the people of Scotland.

Two clowns have left the clown car, but the circus continues.

We don’t just need an end to the Bute House Agreement, we need an end to this entire government.

EXCL: SNP-Green ministers facing sewage dump nightmares in their own backyards

Ditching Scotland's climate targets was a generational betrayal from the Scottish Greens.

The Greens have not just been bystanders in this failure on CO2 reduction, they’ve been active participants.

They have traded their environmentalism for nationalism.
