Alex Salmond needs to come to the (Scottish Parliament) chamber and explain why he has deceived the Scottish electorate over education.

Labour's handling of border control might be lax, but it is laughable that the Scottish National party just blame the UK government for the fiasco. Instead of trying to shift the blame, Alex Salmond and the SNP should admit their culpability. Their policy of convicts in the community rather than prisone...

Alex Salmond is trying to politicise Christmas, having already attempted to politicise the Saltire, Scotland's national days and our children's education. His obsession with independence is blinding him to reality. He should get on with what he was elected to do, which is improving our schools and hospi...
While prevented from joining the UK delegation at the UN summit – unlike the position of other devolved national and regional governments – our global engagement continues, led in Copenhagen next week by our Climate Change Minister Stewart Stevenson.
This poll clearly shows that support for independence is collapsing in Scotland. When Scots are focusing on the economy, jobs and Scotland's education crisis, Alex Salmond's SNP government is obsessed with the constitution.
Not only does our climate change legislation have the most ambitious targets in the world, it includes a clear strategy to implement them and today is a key part of that
We agree wholeheartedly with these views, from a group set up by Alex Salmond. They highlight the need for a wide-ranging debate on the future of education in Scotland, especially the need for schools to have more of a say in how they are run.
Not only does our climate change legislation have the most ambitious targets in the world, it includes a clear strategy to implement them
I called on Alex Salmond to have a reshuffle some time ago and sack Fiona Hyslop three weeks ago. I am delighted that he has finally come to his senses and put Scotland's schoolchildren before his own narrow party political agenda.
The re-opening of Burns' Cottage and the opening of the Education Pavilion marks an important step forward in the Robert Burns Museum Project, which aims to celebrate the life and work of Scotland's globally recognised cultural icon.
What people really care about are jobs and the economy. It is the top priority, not Alex Salmond's vanity project. [He] is out of touch with Scotland. All recent polls show the great majority of Scots don't want to break up Britain and now is not the time for a referendum.
The vast majority of people want to expand the responsibilities of the parliament so that we have more powers to do more for Scotland.

It's time for the people to have their say on Scotland's future
Support for separation is slumping to all time lows. Even the SNP admits its doomed referendum will cost at least £9 million and it will be a monumental waste of parliamentary time. Their White Paper is irrelevant. Alex Salmond should scrap it and get on with the job he was elected to do.
I think it’s entirely legitimate that the government of Scotland sets out the options facing the nation on Scotland’s national day, St Andrew’s Day.
If Mark MacLachlan posted any of his defamations and smears in office hours, while being paid by the taxpayer and while using facilities provided at the taxpayers' expense, Mike Russell's position is untenable and Alex Salmond should sack him.
Homecoming 2009 has been a great success story for Scotland. Since its launch on Burns night, it has truly captured the imagination of people throughout the country and across the globe.
Is Alex Salmond the last man in Scotland who thinks Fiona Hyslop is up to the job?
The White Paper (will] set out the options for Scotland as we move into the next decade of self-government. Those options, in short, are the status quo, the limited change offered by the Calman Commission proposals, maximum devolution including full fiscal autonomy, and independence.
Just done iv with Alex Salmond from Copenhagen.
