@NicolaSturgeon FM: "All of us, not just in Scotland but across the world, face challenging decisions about how we heat our homes and how we travel around the country, so that we can meet our climate change obligations and make the transition to net zero." #FMQs

@NicolaSturgeon FM: "This is about empowering local councils to consult on these decisions, to consider options and to arrive at decisions - that's where we're doing and what the Conservatives used to support, but now clearly don't." #FMQs

@NicolaSturgeon FM: "Since this government took office, we have invested over £9.5bn in managing, maintaining and improving Scotland's trunk roads and our motorway network.

We're also investing over £500m for bus priority measures to support people out of cars." #FMQs

@NicolaSturgeon FM: "We will continue to consult the public and come to sensible decisions, and back those decisions with investments.

That's serious government, as opposed to ridiculous opposition." #FMQs

@NicolaSturgeon FM: "One point I will make, which I know Douglas Ross won't want to face up to, is this.

What is hammering people, including motorists, is the Tory-created cost of living crisis - which an out-of-touch Prime Minister and out-of-touch Chancellor refused to do enough about." #FMQs

@NicolaSturgeon FM to Anas Sarwar: "In terms of the cost of living, we've increased the benefits that this government is responsible for, and we've doubled the Child Payment.

If we are to be able to do more, then he needs to support us in calling for more powers for this Parliament." #FMQs

@NicolaSturgeon FM: "Over 111,000 children were accessing funded early learning and childcare in January 2022, and 87% are taking up the full entitlement.

Families can save up to £4,900 each year per child - the most generous childcare offer anywhere in the UK." #FMQs
