From @ScotParl 's backbenches, I will continue to ensure I give a voice to the voiceless, at home and overseas. The massacre of innocent men, women and children in Gaza must stop. If the Israeli Government continues to defy the international community there must be consequences.

My dear friend @JohnSwinney is one of the most compassionate and caring people I know. Good qualities for any person to possess and are absolutely vital for the role of FM. He, and his team, will have my resolute support as he governs in the interest of all of Scotland.

Congratulations to @JohnSwinney on becoming Leader of @theSNP and FM-elect. John's central message has been one of unity. As a party, we must heed his call, whatever has happened in the past should remain there. Let's get behind John & his team so they can deliver for Scotland.

I congratulate @SadiqKhan on his historic re-election. His victory is all the more significant given it was in the face of a climate denying, xenophobic opposition campaign. A victory for progressive values.

Well, there are some silver linings like having time to spend with the birthday girl. Can't believe my baby is 5!

What further assurances does the UK Government need? Fund @UNRWA like the EU, Norway, Canada, Australia & others. The UK should stop sending arms & start send aid to those who are suffering the most horrific humanitarian catastrophe that is, quite literally, starving children.

Following the report by @MinColonna on mechanisms & procedures to ensure @UNRWA ’s adherence to the humanitarian principle of neutrality, an action plan is put in place to implement its recommendations. I appeal to donors, host countries & staff to cooperate with this effort.

I feel so blessed for having the opportunity so few are afforded — the chance to lead my country, and who could ask for a better country to lead than Scotland. Thank you for all of the kind messages of love & support. I will always strive to serve Scotland in whatever way I can.

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 .

The challenges of yesterday are not necessarily the challenges of tomorrow. @theSNP needs the freedom and flexibility to ensure that we can move Scotland forward. We need to speak to the country with one voice. Our voice. Today marks a new beginning for the SNP Government.

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.
