New study from LSE, York & Glasgow universities shows the Scottish Child Payment is transforming lives.
Without it, 70,000 more children would face deprivation and food insecurity.
We will keep investing in families and lifting children out of poverty.

The BBC has been told to 'correct errors quickly' by the Prime Minister. So why doesn't that seem to apply to Scotland? Xander Elliards asks✍️

BBC Reporting Scotland felt it was important to carry a puff piece for Reform UK after it won a council by-election in West Lothian on a mere 22% turnout - which BBC Scotland didn't think was so important to mention. I don't recall them ever giving any other council by-election such coverage.

The UK’s betrayal of workers at Grangemouth is unforgivable.
But we said we’d do what we can to support Grangemouth.
That’s why we’re allocating £8.5 million to support up to 460 new jobs in biotech and renewables in the area.

Yet another poll showing that the SNP are predicted to win ZERO Regional List seats
Meanwhile, Labour, Tories and Reform SS are predicted to ‘win’ 47 Regional List seats, despite only winning 4 Constituency seats
We can replace all those unionists with Indy MSPs :
(1) SNP
(2) Scottish Greens

I don't understand why the British media allows a far right party funded by the super rich and stuffed full of former Tories to continue to present itself as "anti-elite". It's such a blatant and risible lie yet Farage is never called out on it.
