Looks like we will be treated to the shoddy spectacle next week of rebellious Labour MPs being bought off, and voting in favour of hurting vulnerable people and people with disabilities because only new claimants will be hurt. That's still not ok. How can you have a 2-tier regime for disability?!

Since 2014, every major argument for Scotland staying in the UK has crumbled. Brexit, broken promises and attacks on devolution show the Union does not serve Scotland. There’s no rational case left for Scotland to remain - only the denial of our right to decide our own future. HOLYROOD 2026 i🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

The Unionist parties hate the @snp.org because with their limited devolved powers they regularly show them up with their wellbeing focused policies. Think how much better it could be with #ScottishIndependence and a left leaning Parliament having the full powers of an independent country.

Yet more reasons that UC should be replaced by UBI. UC acts as a low wage employer subsidy, whereas UBI provides the power to refuse to work a job until the employer offers a high enough wage. UBI would also reach more people in need and already be there under everyone's feet before they need it.
