Had a great night last night at Alex's adoption night. Had a chat with John personally and I must say i liked the cut o his jib. His and Alex's speeches were great and iv woke up feeling invigorated and Ready to do this. Let's all go get indy guys and make life better for all Scots. Vote SNP
They have a brass neck I tell ye. If there's anybody who pushed them into this it's @zackpolanski.bsky.social SNP has been trying to keep kids out of poverty for years with the child payment and they have just ignored it.
Absolutely incredible that Paul Hutcheon doesn't give a single mention to the charities and women's rights groups who have lobbied to scrap the benefit cap and rape clause. He gives all credit to Anas Sarwar and Labour.

It tells you that Labour only listen to themselves.

You may need a rizla paper to measure the distance between Labour and Conservatives on certain rights based issues right now, and there are plenty of things to criticise, but this is definitely not a "Tory budget" as I have seen some people claim. Finally ending the two child cap is definitely good.

The Labor Party in England is now proposing to get rid of almost all jury trials in England to make the criminal punishment bureaucracy more efficient. This should be a warning for us all. Neoliberals are walking us into the waiting arms of authoritarians.

🚨Trial by jury is a cornerstone of our democracy and an essential safeguard against authoritarianism. We must come together - cross party - to stop any attempt by the government to undermine this fundamental freedom

The 50 wealthiest families own more wealth than the bottom 50% of the population.

How can this Labour Government say this is a "cost of living" budget and refuse to tax the rich?

They care about protecting power and wealth. And cost of living is a buzz phrase for them. Dire.

UK pensioners who receive 1 of the worst state pension in the developed world will probably now pay tax on their pensions.
"The UK ranks last among G7 nations in state pension generosity"
The recent increase will be wiped out by the tax they will now have to pay.

It’s says so much about the british media in Scotland that there has been absolutely no mention of this meeting on the bbc, The Scotsman or The Herald

Their propaganda by omission is just an indication of their fear for their union

First Minister John Swinney has met with Irish president Catherine Connolly 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 🇮🇪

Swinney said it was 'a great privilege' to meet Connolly and 'discuss the deep connections and shared values of Ireland and Scotland'

Now if that doesn't get yer back up as a scot I hope you've got knee pads on you subservient fool. Billions given to mayors in England. That money is a small percentage of the money we give to the pot. Condescending cunt
Apparently Scotland are only getting this money because Anas Sarwar asked her for it Would it not have happened if he hadn't?

And why all the jeering & pointing at the SNP, are they supposed to be grateful to her for giving us some of our own money back?

Labour came in promising to cut energy bills by £300. Now they’re almost £200 higher, and they trumpet a change that won’t even cover the increase since they took office.

Is this really it??

Scotland deserves better than this chaos. A fresh start with independence. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Rachel Reeves says she’s ending “Motability tax breaks”.
Sounds like she’s cracking down on luxury cars, right?

That’s not what’s happening.

These changes raise costs for all disabled people on the scheme, including those with the cheapest cars.

Here’s how. 👇🧵
