Scottish Liberal Democrats

Jamie Greene insisted several of his former Scottish Conservative colleagues were upset about the direction of the party.

The Scottish Liberal Democrat leader wants to introduce support staff for young carers in every school.

The former frontbencher quit the Scottish Conservatives and claimed the party had become "Trump-esque".

The party said it would make Kate Forbes' seat a key target at next year's Holyrood elections.

The government's spending plans are to be approved by MSPs, with only the Conservatives voting against.

The Liberal Democrat says the May 2026 Holyrood election is the appropriate time to step aside.

The deals mean that the Scottish government's tax and spending proposals will definitely be approved.

Leader Alex Cole-Hamilton says the Scottish public "are done with the constitution" and spending must focus on other issues.
