🚌 The guidance used to assess ‘safe’ walking routes to school is over 20yrs old and not fit for purpose — it doesn't even require a pavement.

❌ Labour have used that document to remove school transport from over 8,000 kids.

🟡 Today we brought a motion requesting a local review.
🥀 They blocked it.

We have submitted an urgent business request to discuss Labour’s cuts to school transport at the Executive Committee meeting this morning.

We demand that Councillors have a chance to scrutinise the final details of the cuts before they are introduced - this may be the last opportunity.

A Labour Councillor has blasted his own administration in South Lanarkshire.

In a quote to local press Cllr Ralph Barker said “There is a serious issue with our administration using legislation and risk assessments meant to help people in a perverse way to disadvantage people”

This Labour Secretary of State is stating that her Government will not provide any financial compensation to the WASPI women.
Blatant Liars
Voters have been lied to and shafted by UK Labour once again.
How many times do the people of Scotland need to be kicked in the baws? #IndyScotland

🌹 During the election, Labour promised to cut energy bills by £300.

🥀 Bills are now forecast to rise in January by £168 on average, since Labour got in.

💷 A £468 cut is now required to meet that promise.
