@ScottishLabour Can you show a few things you'd change?
What you will cut? Say constitution minister portfolio.
Amount of growth in SNP support from spads and quangos. How you will reduce that.
English
In six months time, Scottish Labour will fix the basics and stop the waste and decline of the SNP.

@ziggy6769 As well as the £120pa million saving on the 2 child cap lift. But it's all doom and gloom. Still it should shore up the continual f ups of this SNP govt.
English
£820 million of extra spending in Scotland in the budget. The UK gov working for Scotland. The SNP budget will be full of cuts showing they are not working for Scotland. #BetterTogether

@GeorgeFoulkes I think the subtlety is lost on the msm. This will ripple through for the economy in terms of spending. The impact on child poverty is fantastic but will not gain headlines in impact. Some metrics to show the future of these benefits will help.

And they will spend their extra income in shops, cafes and other local businesses creating more jobs and not on yachts made overseas or investing in tax havens like the mega rich
Michael Shanks MP@mgshanks
A pay rise for millions of the lowest paid across the country, delivered by this Labour Government.

@AnasSarwar You need a shopping list showing what you will keep, what you will bin and what you will add. It really is that simple. If it can't be read on a half page spread of the Daily Record you don't stand a chance. I believe most Scots are headline driven and bored with the bashing

In six months the choice is more failure with the SNP or meaningful change with me as First Minister.

For the geniuses only! Can you crack this logic puzzle? 🤔

I’d like to congratulate @RyderCupEurope on their victory. Your team play the first few days was sensational.
More importantly, I’d like to apologize for the rude and mean-spirited behavior from our American crowd at Bethpage.
As a former player, Captain and as an American, I am ashamed of what happened. #RyderCup

Just back from the 6 o clock and into the kitchen and on with the radio , where Tony Blackburn then Paul Gambaccini make me remember how good the wireless can be 🕺🏻

@murdo_fraser Along with the cladding funding. How much has SNP "redirected" over its years in office? Must be numbers available.
English
Your local pub is at risk of closure thanks to the SNP pocketing funding from the UK Government to help boozers scottishdailyexpress.co.uk/news/politics/…

@afneil Andrew this is crass. That saving could be simply better food or pay a month's subs for a kids dance lessons or football club.

The average five-year fixed mortgage was 5.53% in July last year when Labour came to power.
Last month it was 5.24% — hardly a life-changing difference despite four interest rate cuts by last month (so the government is not exactly flooding people’s pockets with money).
The Bank’s benchmark rate is far from the only determinant of mortgage rates. Not clear the Chancellor understands this.
Rachel Reeves@RachelReevesMP
Since the General Election, interest rates have been cut five times and are now at their lowest level for two years - bringing down the cost of mortgages and loans across the UK. By bringing stability back to the country's finances we're putting more money in people's pockets.

Rachel Reeves is seen here meeting members of the Pakistani community in her constituency, wearing a headscarf.
Curiously, two other women in the room didn’t bother.
There was no requirement. No cultural obligation. Just an unnecessary costume change to appease.
Performative politics.

@afneil You do know concrete goes off if not used in time? I suspect it's a planning thing but then I'm not a journalist doing my due diligence.
English
Demand for concrete in the UK has fallen to its lowest level since 1963, suggesting Starmer/Rayner have more chance of going to Mars than fulfilling their target of building 1.5m new homes by 2029.
English
@JimQuirkesq To be fair they did sell the leases for a rock bottom prices compared to other parts of the UK.
English
Name one wind farm that ScotGov has planned, developed and paid for?
Angus South SNP@AngusSouthSNP
The SNP has ensured Scotland is a renewables superpower - and this new wind farm could power 6 million homes a year. So why are our bills so high? Westminster runs the energy market.

This Rangers passing game is a good tactic, but only works with players who don’t keep giving the ball away

According to the radio, we are now using more water than ever before, dunno about you but I'm not. I think the issue they're failing to recognise is more people than ever (80 million) are using water from the same reservoirs that serviced 50 million. 🤷♂️
