The scenes we saw in Glasgow, Edinburgh and Ayr last night are unacceptable. Scotland is a welcoming nation and those who choose to make their lives here are valued members of our communities. Racism, hatred and intimidation have no place in Scotland. We must stand against it. - Shirley-Anne Somerville reposted
We are supporting private renters and first-time buyers. Housing Secretary Shirley-Anne Somerville sets out her priorities in the first 100 days of this government. Watch for more.
00:00 - Shirley-Anne Somerville repostedWe are delivering the best cost of living support in the UK, and we will go further by capping bus fares and essential food prices. But as energy bills rise again, the UK Government must stop dithering and act now. And if they won't, devolve the energy powers so that we can.
00:00 - Shirley-Anne Somerville repostedA majority in the Scottish Parliament has just backed our call to devolve energy powers to Scotland. We can’t afford being tied to the failed policies at Westminster. Scotland’s energy should work for Scotland - with the powers we need to help bring people’s bills down.

We promised to support first time buyers and we will deliver. First Minister @JohnSwinney and Social Justice and Housing Secretary @S_A_Somerville visited a housing development in East Lothian, where they saw progress underway to increase housing supply.
- Shirley-Anne Somerville repostedI'm focused on delivering for people in Scotland. This week, we will bring forward plans to cut the cost of living, expand childcare and help first-time buyers. And tomorrow, Parliament can back Scotland's right to hold a referendum on the fresh start of independence. 🏴
