We’re enabling every school pupil in Scotland to access a year of free music tuition by the time they leave primary school – no matter their background.

The Tories and Labour are singing from the same hymn sheet. The fact is, neither of them respect them democratic wishes and rights of people in Scotland.

Scotland’s future is a straight choice between Brexit Britain and Scottish independence in the EU.

While the pound plunged to a record low following his announcements, Kwasi Kwarteng spent the evening having a champagne party with bankers whose bonuses are rising.

Inflation has reached a 40-year high, the pound is getting weaker, the UK’s trade deficit is the worst on record. Amid all that, Liz Truss’s government is incapable of rising to the challenge.
