We wear the white poppy for remembrance and for peace. We honour the fallen of the First World War, and every conflict since, by learning the lesson they paid for so dearly: that the rush to war should never be easy, and that peace takes courage too. We will remember them. 🕊️

In a school-leader survey, over 60% reported reduced provision and over a third dropped subjects. Maths and technical shortages narrow pupils' choices. We back rigorous academics and vocational routes to well-paid careers. heraldscotland.com/news/2668…

Scotland's social workers say they are being forced to ration care by what is available, not by what people actually need. In a Scotland-wide stocktake, more than half said needs should be assessed independently of resources, with any shortfall recorded as unmet need.

Our 2026 manifesto backs proper investment in social care and home care, and Congress 2026's natural-capital fund is meant for lasting public services, not another round of rationing by stealth. Manifesto: sovereignty.scot/wp-content/…

Where nationwide resources are involved, local consent must be followed by national approval, with the assessment published first. We support communities resisting speculative schemes that export the rent and leave the costs at home. sovereignty.scot/policy/

Eighteen families (24 children) have already shown interest. Immersion teaching would run from P1 to P3, with English introduced from P4. Gaelic and Scots are central to who we are. Sovereignty's published programme has long called for promoting both languages.

Food parcels are no substitute for a reliable household income. Scotland needs to put money in households’ hands and reduce the poverty traps that leave families struggling to afford food, heating and housing. heraldscotland.com/news/2669…
