Speaking in the Scottish Parliament this afternoon in response to the First Minister setting out his priorities for Scotland, Scottish Liberal Democrat leader Alex Cole-Hamilton MSP said:

“I’m in politics to get things done, to do right by my constituents and try to change our country for the better.

“That’s why I want to see the First Minister tackle the issues that matter to the people that sent us here.

“So, can I ask the First Minister, does he recognise that those same people want change and need a government that will get the basics right?

“On education standards and the violence in our classrooms, on access to a GP at the first time of asking and a dentist near you that still offers NHS care. On missed climate targets, on sewage dumping in our rivers, on the ferries fiasco and on the 175,000 Scots suffering Long Covid that this government seems to have forgotten all about.

“And will he recognise that Scotland has had enough of the worn-out divisions of the past?”
