✂️ Labour are cutting Scotland's budget by £650mil next year, that is £20 every second!
📉 This means less money for Scotland's public services and supporting people with the cost of living!

Scotland’s North Sea energy: a burden when we talk about independence, but a valuable asset when Westminster needs the money?
Sounds familiar 🤔

🗣 With energy bills still sky-high and household costs continuing to rise, people expected real action from the Chancellor today, not just another short-term sticking plaster solution.

Wait a minute, on gas prices...
By moving the cost of the standing charge on to the unit rate - has Andy Burnham actually just put up energy bills for the majority of Scots?
We are colder country & have to put the heating on more, the more gas we use, the higher price we pay!
Community note
Dave Doogan previously argued in a 2024 parliamentary debate that redistributing standing charges to the unit price would empower consumers to reduce usage and lower bills. heraldscotland.com/news/26676771.…

When Labour came to power, the price cap was £1,414 and they promised to cut bills by £300.
Now, new EDF forecasts show the price cap hitting £2,389 in April – £1,275 higher than promised.
Only with independence, can we cut bills and build a better fairer future for Scotland.

🗣️ Westminster has finally admitted that Scotland should have had an oil fund worth at least £1 trillion. Scotland’s vast energy wealth has been squandered. Scotland must not lose out again. Every penny of energy wealth from Scotland’s waters must be reinvested into Scotland!

🤝 It was great to be back at @GSK in Montrose this afternoon to more hear about their plans for the future and the fantastic work they do in the community. They make a hugely important contribution to medicine manufacturing, local jobs and the Angus and Scottish economies!

🛡️ Through free tuition and Scotland’s social contract, Scottish students are shielded from brutal Westminster debt.
‼️ New figures show Scottish students graduate with over £26,000 less debt on average than their counterparts south of the border.

🏴 @TheSNP Scottish Government continues to champion fair work, supporting higher wages and tackling in-work poverty. With around 76,000 workers set to benefit as the Real Living Wage rises to £14.10 an hour, putting more money in people's pockets and supporting families.

🏴 The SNP Scottish Government will allocate up to £1m extra from 2027/28 to tackle misogyny and promote respect in schools, backed by Scotland’s leading sports organisations and the Don’t Be That Guy campaign.
We must all challenge harmful attitudes and behaviours!
