We learn today that Labour’s welfare compromise will STILL send 150,000 people into poverty. Just think about that - a Labour Government voluntarily chooses to increase poverty. Scotland is taking a different course thanks to the SNP. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Sir Geoff Palmer was a pioneer and an outstanding intellectual. He had a hugely positive impact on Scotland and will be sorely missed. My sympathy to his family.

I was glad to sign this letter -thanks to Lesley Riddoch and Gordon MacIntyre-Kemp for uniting people and Yes groups on Scotland’s right to self-determination. By denying a second referendum, regardless of 2026, the PM is ignoring democracy. This can’t be called a voluntary union!

👷🏻‍♂️ The UK Government must support Scottish workers on the same basis as their peers in the rest of the UK, @johnswinney.bsky.social told the @scottishtuc.bsky.social today👇
Quote graphic with John Swinney’s picture - the graphic reads: “It is becoming more and more apparent that Scottish industry and Scottish workers are being treated as an afterthought by the UK Government. That needs to stop now.

The UK Government needs to get serious about Scotland’s economic potential and treat Scottish industry on a par with the rest of the UK. At a time of growing global economic uncertainty, anything less is
unacceptable.

Put bluntly, UK industrial support cannot stop at the border.”

Under Labour, household energy bills are up by almost 300 quid. So you'd expect Scottish Labour MSPs have been meeting the Labour Energy Minister to demand action, right? Wrong. Not a single meeting has been held.

Child poverty rose in Labour-run England, but it fell in SNP-run Scotland. Analysis by the Child Poverty Action Group puts this down to the Scottish Child Payment. It's time Labour followed Scotland's lead.

The Labour Government are putting more children into poverty. It's time they changed course and followed Scotland's lead.
