He'll never tell you how independence would bring down our bills - because he knows its a lie.
Independence would risk Scotland's energy security, block billions of investment and leave billpayers exposed to huge renewables projects currently supported across the UK.

⚡️Scotland produces more energy than it uses, yet Scots pay some of the highest energy bills in Europe. 🏴 Vote SNP to put Scotland’s energy in Scotland’s hands.

@PFOKane @ScottishLabour Did you build PFI schools, saddling authority with massive payments for 25 years? Has any Labour council banned mobile phones in schools?
English
@ammacj @CalumAM @geoffaberdein @akmaciver Now that he has defined a generation as a few years, can we have a referendum?
English
Sarwar is even lying about this.
Every five years, not ‘first time in a generation’, there is the chance to change the First Minister.
Pathetic.

Holyrood Sources@HolyroodSources
"We have a chance for the first time in a generation to change the First Minister" @AnasSarwar reiterates his view that the Scottish electorate should focus on scrutinising the SNP's record at Holyrood rather than Labour's performance at Westminster ahead of the Scottish Parliament election. @CalumAM | @geoffaberdein | @akmaciver

@VonnSand @ScottishLabour So, a local authority wants to introduce charges but you want the national government to stop it? Is that democracy? Are you campaigning for WM to stop London’s congestion charges?
You must be desperate if this is your campaign.
You are 9nly doing this as SNP is in Glasgow. Sad
English
Businesses, families and commuters will be hammered by the SNP’s plan to introduce congestion charges for drivers coming in to Glasgow.
@ScottishLabour will block these proposals.
English
The Scottish Labour leader’s promising to block Glasgow City Council proposals for a congestion fee if he wins May’s election.
Anas Sarwar tells me it wouldn’t be fair to charge people to enter the city for things like hospital appointments.
English
@ewan_macphee @ScottishLabour Party headquarters has announced that ‘momentum’ is the word of the day. In a two horse race you might get a place.
English
🗳️ The momentum is on our side.
In Kilmarnock and Irvine Valley, it’s a clear two horse race between Scottish Labour and the SNP.
The only way to get rid of the SNP and turn the page on the mess they’ve made is to vote @ScottishLabour

A sharp dip in support for Reform UK with just five weeks until the Holyrood election is "bad news" for the SNP. dailyrecord.co.uk/news/politics/…

@MonicaLennon7 @AnasSarwar Do you disagree with congestion charges in London? That’s Labour policy there!
English
The SNP’s plan to tax drivers in Rutherglen, Cambuslang and Blantyre has caused a lot of worry here, especially with many bus services cut or reduced and folk reliant on cars to get to hospital appointments.
@AnasSarwar has made the right call.
Anas Sarwar@AnasSarwar
Businesses and drivers will be hammered by SNP plans for congestion charges in Glasgow. People will be punished for travelling to work, taking children to childcare, attending hospital appointments and spending time with family and friends. Scottish Labour will block these plans. I’m standing to fix the mess, get the basics right and build a better future for Glasgow and Scotland.

@Independent Says Labour leader who wants Labour PM to resign?
English
This is what we are finding on the doors more and more often. People who want a real and credible alternative to the SNP are backing @ScottishLabour

@Record_Politics Today’s party political broadcast on behalf of the Labour Party…

The SNP "has one rule for themselves and another for everybody else" when it comes to investigating allegations of misconduct, Anas Sarwar has claimed.

@RuarBro I know, I’m just explaining it’s not free. We pay for all services from our tax.
English
They are not free, taxpayers pay more tax to pay for other people.
My pension is taxed to pay for someone to go to uni.
My pension of £14,000 is taxed to pay for other people’s medication.

Pleased to have put forward a motion at East Dunbartonshire Council last year to voice our opposition to these proposals.
Completely wrong.
Anas Sarwar@AnasSarwar
The SNP want you to pay to drive in to Glasgow - for work, hospital appointments or social occasions. That’s bad for you and for Glasgow. Vote Scottish Labour to beat the SNP and stop this madness.
English
@DouglasRob0 The case for independence is that we want to make our own decisions, here, in Scotland.
There are lots of small countries with no oil that manage fine.
Ireland, Malta, Singapore, New Zealand, Denmark,…..
English
Current price of Brent crude oil is $109.6 🛢️
The SNP White Paper was based upon oil being $113 ⬆️
Since 2014 the SNP have declared war on oil production, campaigning against Grangemouth and the North Sea
Without oil the financial case for independence is non existent 💷

Today 450,000 kids across the UK have a brighter future due to the end of the 2 child limit.
New rights at work come into force, the minimum wage has increased, and around £117 on average has been taken off energy bills.
That’s the change you get when people vote Labour.
English
@johnadgrady @UKLabour It took you nearly two years. You could have done it sooner but refused to.
English
As the new financial year begins, the two-child benefit limit has been removed. This will lift 95,000 children here in Scotland out of poverty.
This is a @UKLabour Government reducing child poverty and delivering for Scotland. 🏴
English
@AnasSarwar Labour has a similar policy in London. Is that a bad one too?
Or do you want Khan and Starmer to resign?

English
@AnasSarwar Labour’s track record isn’t very good on these things, you gave us PFI schools, built few houses.
English
I want to fix the NHS, make life more affordable, deliver 9000 new apprenticeships and build more homes.
John Swinney wants to just say and do what he has done for the last 20 years.
Scotland needs change. Only a vote for Scottish Labour can deliver it.
