We’re proud to be our supporting Heather as our fantastic candidate!

Ferry cancellations have skyrocketed tenfold under the SNP - a shameful failure that’s hitting island communities hardest.
A Scottish Labour government will end the ferry fiasco, restore accountability and deliver the reliable lifeline services people deserve.
Scotland needs change.

Labour MP @tracygilbert72 asks the Sec of State
to use his powers to access existing medical records "to increase the evidence base & to prevent proceeding with the Pathways Trial".
Minister @KarinSmyth praises her "constructive approach":
"She is right to make challenges, we must have open & transparent debate...
We will have a retrospective Data Linkage Study".

This is a chart that should sound klaxons in council chambers across Scotland.
The SNP are planning big cuts to local services if they get re-elected in May.
This analysis is set out in the Fiscal Forecast published alongside the budget today.

Scottish Labour MSP Michael Marra is critical of the SNP's handling of the NHS, education and justice systems. He says the budget does not deliver "real change".

a trivial amount, but indicative of a far bigger issue than Scotland’s FM flying business class👇
Sam Taylor@staylorish
The Scottish Government spent around £10k (+VAT) on social media ads pushing its latest independence paper. A trivial amount of money, but it’s a scandal that any public money at all is being spent in this way.

The Scottish Fiscal Commission reconfirms that the Scottish government provides health and welfare at the expense of almost everything else.

An excellent explainer on the SNP’s theatrics around income tax, summarised neatly: “The starter rate tax band was a stunt, not serious tax policy”

That graph also suggests big cuts to education and skills if the SNP is re-elected.
I guess education isn’t the top priority any more.

We have now updated our analysis, including:
- Why the health settlement looks too tight, especially given pay deals;
- Initial look at capital cuts;
- Why the income tax changes are expensive and change little;
- More details on child poverty plans.

The devil was in the detail and in what the Finance Secretary didn't say. Weaker tax revenues drove most of the £480m cut in day-to-day spending relative to June plans, even after raiding one-off pots; capital was cut by £850m. Our initial analysis: buff.ly/99xjj1g

Here's Scot Gov's NHS Recovery Plan from 2021, when John Swinney was Covid Recovery Secretary. It promises 55,500 extra ops by this year compared to pre-Covid
More than four years later, we're not even back to square one. Today's stats show planned ops 10% below pre-pandemic
John Swinney@JohnSwinney
Warmest thanks to the NHS staff for delivering significant improvements with new figures showing an increase in operations carried out. This continues the sustained progress being made in the NHS.

1/ If you know what to look for, the budget did actually include an implicit acknowledgement that the notorious “more than half of taxpayers…” claim hasn’t been true in recent years. This is the giveaway. Source: gov.scot/publications/s…

Once again, official Scot Gov channels pushing the notorious taxpayers claim as if it’s a fact, when it’s actually an uncertain forecast which may or may not come true. (In recent years it hasn’t.)

watching the SNP position tax savings of less than £1 a week for lower paid Scots as some kind of heroic achievement makes you wonder if they actually do believe their electorate is “too stupid” to understand simple numbers
