Two years ago, Labour opposed the Internal Market Act - which is nothing short of an undemocratic power grab from Westminster.

Today, Labour have just voted together with the Tories against protecting the powers of our Parliament.

Only the SNP will stand up for Scotland. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

A reminder that the Royal Family claim £500,000,000 a year in benefits even though they have £22bn.

While 650 MP's get an extra £150,000,000 in benefits a year on top of their £94,500 salaries.

If we are cracking down on benefits, start here.

Labour pledged to cut energy bills, but we are all about to face a second substantial rise since they came to power.

They promised change, but forgot to tell us that it was for the worse.
