    Stephen Flynn has delivered on the task he was set tonight. Show the similarities between Labour and the Tories, how far away the Westminster debate is from what people in Scotland want - and why the SNP are needed. Swinney, Flynn and team SNP will be very happy.

    Actually maj of people in Scotland pay less tax than in rest of UK + pay no tuition fees, get more free childcare, free personal care for elderly, don’t pay for prescriptions, better A&E services in our NHS, and more investment in economic development #ScotlandIsNow

    The Scottish Government spending a fortune on Tube ads trying to lure my constituents away - what the ads don’t mention is they would be clobbered by higher tax rates north of the border.

    In Scotland nursing bursary (which was never scrapped) will be £10,000 from the start of next academic year and tuition will remain free. In England student nurses will still have to pay tuition fees and bursary will only be £5,000 ⁦@itvnews⁩

    Figures today show since @theSNP came to office 928 schools have been rebuilt or refurbished, and nearly 90% of schools across Scotland are in good or very good condition - up from 60% in 2007. #delivering #dayjob

    A reminder - public health advice in Scotland comes from the Scottish Government - it is not what the Prime Minister is currently saying.

    So this Labour conference appears to be full of promises to deliver things @theSNP & @ScotParl have been doing for years - free prescriptions - interest free loans for electric vehicles - free personal care for over 65s...

    As UK turns inward, it’s an interesting aside that the Nordic Council of Ministers (Iceland, Finland, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Faroes and Greenland) is having a meeting in Edinburgh today.
