www.wired-gov.netHere are the main recent highlights and where to read them about the SNP (Scottish National Party) “manifesto 2026” ahead of the Holyrood election in May 2026.
What the SNP says is in its 2026 manifesto
- The SNP framed the manifesto around a “cost of living” package, including a £2 bus fare cap and a pledge aimed at “fair food prices” / a legal maximum on essentials.[1]
- The manifesto launch (video coverage) also emphasizes NHS funding protections, including a promise to pass on every penny of NHS budget resource consequentials to health and care services.[2]
- The SNP’s campaign messaging also highlights pledges such as shorter NHS waiting times / more appointments and operations, alongside wider commitments on issues like growth, climate action, and child poverty.[2]
Independent coverage and analysis (latest reporting)
- BBC Scotland published an analysis of SNP manifesto pledges for the 2026 Holyrood election, noting the manifesto is 72 pages and reviewing key commitments.[4]
- There’s also reporting that discusses the manifesto’s core strategy: linking cost-of-living relief to broader economic and social policy themes (e.g., NHS priorities, growth, apprenticeships/skills, etc.).[1]
Official document (where the manifesto is published)
- The SNP hosts the manifesto on its site under “SNP 2026 Manifesto”.[6]
If you tell me what you mean by “SNP manifesto 2026” (e.g., the bus/food price pledges, the NHS commitments, or a specific policy area like housing/education/transport), I can summarize just that slice of the manifesto and the most recent reactions to it.
