We will abolish all NHS dentistry charges! Yaaaass! 🦷 universal healthcare provided free at the point of need. So many of my constituents will benefit from this. (Too many 😢)

A National wage for care staff. So, so important. 25% increase in spend on social care over course of the Parliament. And removing charges for non residential social care!

Transition training, retraining, upskilling, ensuring those in areas reliant on work in oil and gas will not be abandoned in Scotland’s move to a zero carbon economy.

We will maintain progressive tax system and freeze rates of income tax throughout the next Parliament.

So good to hear a leader talking about a green recovery, about ensuring that our population are able to reach their potential 😍

We intend to move towards what is known as a minimum income guarantee. We will identify how we can use our existing powers to ensure that people meet these minimum income levels. This will form foundation for UBI after Indy 🎉

We will not repeat the harm the Tories caused in the 80s deindustrialisation. We will ensure a just transition, focusing on decarbonising heating, hydrogen, green transport, buses, free bus travel for under 2022s.

“There is simply no greater responsibility than safeguarding our planet and we must act with urgency”

We will invest more than half a billion pounds in the next stage of the childcare revolution. Wraparound childcare, childcare for 1&2 year olds from low income households.

A tablet or laptop provided for every school child & free internet, free breakfasts and lunches for all primary children.

No child to miss out on school trips because their family cannot afford it. This is so important. I missed my primary 7 trip for this reason and I am so glad no others now will face this issue.

Actually greeting 🥲

No tuition fees. Access to uni based on ability to learn, not to pay. Modern apprenticeships.

“The UK Government are using their powers to take Scotland in the wrong direction and they are pressing the accelerator.”

A tale of two governments. We welcome immigration, will protect opportunities for young people, increase wages for care workers. Tories are dismantling or putting all of this at risk.

“The people of Scotland should decide Scotland’s future in an independence referendum within the next term of parliament.”

There is no democratic or moral reason Boris Johnson can use to block Scotland’s right to choose - if we get a pro Indy majority.

Nicola Sturgeon is unparalleled. Vote SNP for your constituency candidate. Vote Nicola Sturgeon for First Minister, and for a @theSNP Government with your list vote. #BothVotesSNP
