Residents in Glasgow East have no wish to see their constituency used to promote divisive politics. I've got a proud record to stand on, David doesn't. The SNP has an appalling record, which is why he's focused on trying to divide our community.

‘All roads lead back to Westminster’ No, not an SNP soundbite. Instead, those words belong to UK Labour’s Shadow Health Secretary as he explains why the NHS is in crisis in Wales. Well worth a listen, and a share. #NHS

Non-story. If the next UK General Election resulted in a hung parliament and Labour was able to form a minority government then any SNP MPs would have two options: to support a Labour government or to support the Tories. That's it. There would be no need for any 'deal' or 'pact'.

🤔 If Labour Whips can not even promise their own MPs that they will lift the two-child cap and are having to resort to threats instead, then what does that tell you? @Keir_Starmer 's Labour is fighting hard for Tory policies that keep children in poverty.

MPs say Labour whips are really laying it on thick with warnings to potential rebels on the SNP two-child benefit amendment. One says it is "all stick" rather than any promises on the issue itself. Another describes the tactics as "astonishing."

No new money from UK Government. Simply our own money early and anything extra will have to be paid back. A cynical attempt by the Tories to dodge the buck when it comes to supporting Scottish businesses during the pandemic.

I'm sure people will correct me if I'm wrong, but sounds like this isn't additional funding at all. Instead, it's an advance on expected Barnett consequentials coming in the New Year. Sounds like if Scot Gov get more than they're due, they'll have to pay back the difference.
