Honoured to have been asked by the First Minister to join his government team. There’s a lot of work ahead, and I’m ready to get started and deliver for the people we serve.
Replying to @scotgov
Simita Kumar, Minister for Equalities and International Development. [11/12]

Thinking of all the wonderful young people receiving their SQA results today. Whatever your results — there are #NoWrongPath. When I look back at my own journey, the one thing I truly know is that life has a way of working out and you are more than your results on a paper 💫
🎉 If you’ve just received your #SQAresults ... congratulations! 👏 Whether you’re looking for help with understanding your certificate, planning your next steps, or protecting your mental wellbeing — head to 👉 sqa.org.uk/results @sqanews

Zia's example should act as a lesson to every Person of Colour. Even if you donate hundreds of thousands of pounds to them, the hard-right will never accept you. Who would have thought Reform would eventually dispense of their brown, son-of-an-immigrant, Muslim Party Chairman?!
🚨 BREAKING 🚨 Zia Yusuf has resigned from his position as Reform UK Chairman. Earlier today he tweeted that new Reform UK MP Sarah Pochin was "dumb" for asking Keir Starmer to ban the Burqa at PMQs.

Nigel Farage wants energy-rich Scotland to become poorer by taking away vital support like free prescriptions and free tuition. And he has openly discussed privatising the NHS. Only the SNP can beat him in Hamilton, Larkhall and Stonehouse on 5th June.

It blows my mind that this country doesn’t understand that we need migration to fix the NHS. We need people to work in our workplaces. Stop the hate & Labour you don’t care as you are ending visas for migrants to work in social care. #BBCdn

Reform are all too content to swim in the sewer of race-baiting politics. Their attack advert is not only despicable, it's utterly desperate. The people of Scotland desire change but not the division Reform package up as progress. @RozFoyer/@Daily_Record

Thank you to @ScotGovFM for hosting a roundtable this afternoon in Edinburgh on the impact of #immigration changes across all sectors not least #socialcare. There is real urgency on challenging @GOVUK and the dangerous naivety of the @10DowningStreet in this regard. @scottishcare

Migrants make a huge contribution to Scotland, so we need a migration system that meets Scotland’s needs. First Minister @JohnSwinney met social care, education, rural, tourism, business and local government representatives to discuss UK Government proposals to cut immigration.

Scotland needs migration - for social care, education, our NHS, our economy, our future. Today I heard directly from businesses and organisations about the importance of designing a migration system that works for Scotland.

Scotland welcomes people from around the world to live, work and build their lives in Scotland, to enrich our communities, grow our economy and support services like the NHS A one-size fits all approach to immigration fails to meet the needs of Scotland. We need Independence.
