@NicolaSturgeon 📣 @NicolaSturgeon: "Can I begin by wishing Ramadan Mubarak to our Muslim community. I'm in a very privileged position of having, of any constituency in the country, the highest proportion of Muslims living within my Glasgow Southside constituency." #FMQs

@NicolaSturgeon 📣 @NicolaSturgeon: "The SNP remains the only mass membership party in this country.

More members than any other party represented in this chamber - more than all other parties in this chamber combined."

#FMQs

@NicolaSturgeon 📣 @NicolaSturgeon: "Douglas Ross chooses the topics that he raises, and that is right and proper - but let it be noted that he's not asking me about the NHS, or the economy, or climate. He talks about party membership figures." #FMQs

@NicolaSturgeon 📣 @NicolaSturgeon: "I don't think the Tories should be lecturing anyone about honesty and integrity." #FMQs

@NicolaSturgeon 📣 @NicolaSturgeon: "If Douglas Ross wants to talk about collapsing political parties, he should look at a poll about leaders' favourability ratings published this very morning - it doesn't make for very happy reading for Douglas Ross." #FMQs

@NicolaSturgeon 📣 @NicolaSturgeon: "I know Douglas Ross has difficulty deciding which Parliament is more important to Scotland, because he has one foot in each.

But I know which Parliament is most important to Scotland, and it's this one, our Scottish Parliament." #FMQs

@NicolaSturgeon 📣 @NicolaSturgeon: "I am proud of the government I have led through some of the toughest times Scotland has faced in recent history.

But ultimately, the only people who will cast a verdict on the record of my and future SNP governments are the people of Scotland." #FMQs

@NicolaSturgeon 📣 @NicolaSturgeon: "Eight election victories in eight years as First Minister - that's the verdict that matters to me."

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 We have delivered progress to every household in Scotland and built a fairer, better Scotland. Here's how: snp.org/record

@NicolaSturgeon 📣 @NicolaSturgeon: "I was the Health Secretary who abolished NHS prescription charges - something that, in all the years of a Labour government, they never got round to doing.

I also took a hospital privatised under Labour back into the public hands." #FMQs

@NicolaSturgeon 📣 @NicolaSturgeon: "£3bn is how much this government is investing each year to mitigate the cost of living crisis, to help people deal with Tory austerity.

If we were independent, we wouldn't have to mitigate Tory austerity." #FMQs

@NicolaSturgeon 📣 @NicolaSturgeon: "But while Labour still prefers to see Scotland governed by the Tories at Westminster, rather than have self-governance and independence here in our own Parliament, Labour will never be taken seriously in Scotland." #FMQs

@NicolaSturgeon 📣 @NicolaSturgeon: "Not many countries have Scotland's offshore wind potential.

ScotWind right now gives us the potential to generate 23GW of renewable energy - that is massive, and will enable us to export as well as meet our own needs." #FMQs

@NicolaSturgeon 📣 @NicolaSturgeon: "We should focus on renewable, clean, green energy - it's not just right for the environment, but gives us the opportunity to boost industry, the economy, and generate tens of thousands of good jobs for the future.

That should be our priority." #FMQs

@NicolaSturgeon 📣 @NicolaSturgeon: "Scotland is doing more to cut emissions than almost any other country in the world. I've privileged to attend COP summits over many years now and there's a real recognition of that overseas.

But Scotland, like all other countries, must do even more." #FMQs

@NicolaSturgeon 📣 @NicolaSturgeon: "In Scotland, we have the most teachers per pupil in the UK, and education spend per person is higher than in either England and Wales." #FMQs

@NicolaSturgeon 📣 @NicolaSturgeon: "The IFS rightly acknowledges the impact that our progressive choices are having for low-income families."

While the UK pushes children into poverty, we're determined to eradicate child poverty - and back it up with bold actions. 👇
