Labour's UK budget was a missed opportunity to really take on the rich and powerful. A fairer, greener Scotland is possible, but it won't be built from Westminster.

This is a disgraceful betrayal of workers by Labour.
Exploitation and unfair dismissal are never acceptable, so why should workers not have protections against them from day one?
Every worker deserves safety, dignity and security regardless of how long they have been in a job.

The Scottish Government rightly allocated tens of millions to protect families from the cruel two child benefit cap.
Thankfully, that cap is now being scrapped. The money allocated should now instead be used to expand free school meals.

It was opposed by environmental experts and would've given this and all future governments sweeping powers to run roughshod over vital nature protections.

Yet another manifesto commitment watered down by Labour.
The climate crisis worsens every year, but the government continues to retreat.
Instead of action we see climbdowns, u-turns and backtracking. All while the world's biggest polluters celebrate and rake in the profit.
