📢 A new report shows Scotland will be the only part of the UK where child poverty falls over the next four years. If the UK followed our lead, 800,000 fewer children would be in poverty. Action, not excuses, delivers results. Westminster must step up.

The SNP is advocating for a social tariff for energy consumers to help cut household bills. The UK Labour Government must step up to the plate & help make this a reality. People need help during this cost of living crisis.

It’s time for THE charger. Today, the USB-C becomes officially the common standard for charging new mobile electronic devices in the EU. It means better-charging technology, reduced e-waste, and less fuss to find the chargers you need! #DigitalEU
A minimalist illustration showing a packaged charger box labeled "one Union one Charger." The box features an image of a blue charger with the European Union flag symbol and a USB-C cable. The scene is set within a holiday theme, with decorative Christmas trees, ornaments, and gift boxes surrounding the charger box. In the top right corner, there is a small EU flag symbol.
