We want your questions for @ChristinaSNP Minister for Older People and Equalities when she comes to our Committee on 6 December. Over the next 5 days we'll let you know what areas she's responsible for, and invite your questions using #AsktheMinister

It has been a slight relief to see Amber Rudd, the new Secretary of State at DWP, recognise there are clearly issues with the roll out of universal credit; but a real shame she cannot see the impact of austerity measures have had on levels of poverty in the U.K.

"I was disappointed to say the least by the extraordinary political nature of his language; that sort of language was wholly inappropriate." Works and Pensions Secretary Amber Rudd responds to remarks made about poverty in the UK by UN Special Rapporteur Philip Alston.

Very proud today to hear @JohnSwinney commend @ENABLEScotland for our approach to ‘campaigning with real care and attention to detail, with people at our heart, and to working in partnership with Government and other stakeholders - that’s the way to get things done’

Deputy First Minister & Cabinet Secretary for Education & Skills @JohnSwinney highlights the need to ensure pupils’ experience on the ground matches the policy objectives, and says people need to embrace reform and change mindsets. #IncludED
