As an amendment to motion S6M-18671 in the name of John Swinney (Priorities for Scotland), leave out from “welcomes” to end and insert “recognises that people feel let down and frustrated, and considers that Scotland deserves better than the current Scottish National Party administration; calls for first-rate healthcare, help with the cost of living, more support for pupils to help get Scottish education back to its best, and an end to the ferries fiasco, and believes that Scotland needs change with fairness at its heart."
