Important message from the Labour Party as fuel bills rise and cold weather warnings are put in place across Scotland.

Labour pledged to cut household fuel bills by £300, but instead your gas & electricity bills have risen by £ 170. Labour lied! Energy bills are £470 higher than Labour promised. It’s time for energy rich Scotland to have the power to set bills for ourselves - independence 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

So ashamed of our pathetic spineless government and their complete failure to speak our for justice and against genocide. Pitiful.

As the snow falls on Inverclyde this morning and the temperature falls, please remember although it looks beautiful and is great fun to play in, all 37 of Scottish Labour’s MPs voted to end the Winter Fuel Payment for millions of pensioners, right across Scotland. Wrap up warm.

Biden has it backwards. It would have been "outrageous" had Netanyahu and Gallant NOT faced war-crimes charges for their conduct in Gaza. Indeed, I hope the ICC soon addresses not only the starvation but also their disproportionate bombing of civilians. theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

There is cross party support for devolution of migration . What’s more it would benefit business, the care sector and education. So what’s stopping it? - scotsman.com/news/opinion/c…

We are devastated by the loss of so many of our humanitarian colleagues. Each of them was doing vital work, and many were killed in the line of duty.

International Criminal Court prosecutor Karim Khan stresses that our thoughts should be with the victims of war crimes and crimes against humanity, not the alleged perpetrators who are trying to spin their way out of serious charges. icc-cpi.int/news/statement…

A year on since one of my friends & former colleagues in #Gaza lost 48 members of his extended family in one night, including 3 children & 3 grandchildren - the youngest just 5/12 old. They were sheltering in his house in a supposedly safe area! #TheyareNOTNumbers! #CeasfireNOW

The past two months of intensifying Israeli bombardment in Lebanon have been the “deadliest and most devastating” in decades, the UN reports. It is so bad that uprooted communities continue to flee across the border to highly repressive Syria. news.un.org/en/story/2024/…

The Labour Party will apologise and accept this decision, won’t they?

NEW: A drop in support for Labour in Scotland has been 'clearly confirmed', Professor John Curtice has said. The polling expert said voting figures 'do not suggest Anas Sarwar is on course to become the next first minister' Get the full story: thenational.scot/news/24744391.…

The ICC has now found reasonable grounds to believe Israel is committing war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza. Any government that continues to arm Israel while these crimes continue is on notice they could be charged with aiding and abetting. icc-cpi.int/news/situation…

If you believe in the rule of law and the international rules based system it has to be without fear or favour. The UK Govt must support the work of the ICC.
