Jimmy Lai’s imprisonment and persecution at the hands of the Chinese Communist Party is an outrage. The Prime Minister should summon the Chinese Ambassador today, and demand Jimmy Lai's immediate release and the quashing of this trumped-up sentence.

No matter where you are in Scotland, you can elect a Liberal Democrat MSP on the peach-coloured regional ballot in May. Every vote for the Scottish Liberal Democrats on that ballot will deliver change with fairness at its heart.

On Holocaust Memorial Day, we remember the six million Jewish men, women and children murdered in the Holocaust, and the millions of others killed under Nazi persecution. We honour survivors and renew our commitment to a country where all can live and worship safely.

(also, just as a matter of fact/basic national accounting, tuition fees at overseas branches of UK universities aren't exports and don't contribute directly to any export target! There may be a small indirect contribution but miniscule compared to foreign students studying in UK)

Scottish Liberal Democrats are clear that Scotland’s NHS needs fresh ideas. We believe the problem lies in the crisis in social care which keeps patients in hospital when they should be home. If we get that right, we can alleviate the pressure on A&E, waiting times and GPs.

Despite the eye-watering sums, the extra £3bn and 20,000 extra NHS staff since 2019, outcomes aren’t improving, and waiting times are stubbornly high.

The SNP is out of ideas, and has its priorities skewed.

It’s all very well to talk about record investment but if that money is not getting to where it needs to be, then we might as well burn it.

Lisa’s son John McNab was tragically stabbed to death in Leith. She has channelled her grief into distributing 'bleed kits' and training people to use them so that lives might be saved in the future. Today she delivered one to my office and trained my staff and I to use it.

It’s so important to recognise and celebrate the contributions of fellow healthcare professionals. This is why I have nominated my colleague, Samantha Thomas for her work on delay diagnosis of cancer claims at the forthcoming Black Heathcare awards. blackhealthcareawards.cahn.org.uk/awards/
