A new opinion poll showing the SNP 20 points ahead of Labour indicates that the Scottish Government is delivering on the priorities of the people of Scotland.
The More in Common poll puts the SNP on 37% of the Holyrood constituency vote, compared to 17% for Labour and 16% for Reform, while the Conservatives and Liberal Democrats trail on 12% each.
The poll also shows the SNP out in front on the regional list vote, and at Westminster.
This comes hot on the heels of a separate poll showing that a majority of Scots back Scotland’s right to decide their own constitutional future. It also follows a speech on Thursday morning by First Minister John Swinney, setting out the case for independence and Scotland’s right to decide our own future.
Meanwhile, Labour are on course for their worst ever election result in a Scottish Parliament election.

This week alone has seen the abolition of peak rail fares, a multi-billion pound commitment for 36,000 new homes, and the number of NHS operations carried out reaching the highest level in five years.
Of course, the SNP are also the only political force in Scotland offering an alternative to the truly bleak future under the UK given the relentlessly negative direction of travel since austerity and Brexit and the rise of Reform.
It was an SNP majority in Holyrood that delivered a referendum on independence before, and that is what is needed again to break the logjam holding this country back.

The Tories delivered chaos. Labour promised change, yet are just delivering more of the same. And now Nigel Farage is looming on the horizon. The people of Scotland must be able to write the next chapter in Scotland's story together, that's the right to decide, and that is our… pic.twitter.com/gGCUWquGSK
