I'm sorry,
@tesco
this is not good enough in your Dalmarnock store on a Friday afternoon 😔 Lots more shelves with empty boxes throughout the store. Rising prices are bad enough but lack of basic foodstuffs is unacceptable.
Can't get my head around this.
* Almost every Labour supporter I've ever spoken to wants to rejoin the EU.
* Most of them also want Scottish Independence 🙄
* They all say they'd never vote Tory, and yet there's no difference between the parties on these huge issues 🙃🤷♀️
@stubbstag
I'm not making a political comment here. Just stating that a lack of basic foodstuffs in a supermarket is unacceptable - I could have taken other photos around the store as there were noticeable gaps everywhere, not just fresh products 😠
BREAKING: The UK Government CAN use a Section 35 order to block Scotland's gender reforms from becoming law, a court has ruled.
The Gender Recognition Reform Bill was passed by two-thirds of MSPs in the Scottish Parliament in December 2022.
What a twist to get an SNP bad angle on the very serious issue of dangerous schools built pre mid 90s - way before
@theSNP
had any influence in this area. These twisted tweets really are something to behold.
Feeling safe at school is the very least people should expect. This is a huge worry for pupils, staff and parents.
It is essential that no child or worker is at risk of harm because of the SNPs failure to maintain safety standards in our schools.
As

I'm proud to be part of an amazing team of activists, and I'm really looking forward to the campaign ahead with them all 💛
CORRECTION (bearing in mind this is a consultation and final decision will be down to Local Authorities). Under the SNP, 3 in 4 households won't see their council tax rise by hundreds of pounds.
Under the SNP, 1 in 4 Scottish households could see their council tax rise by hundreds of pounds.
But the SNP is still trying to defend their devastating plans.
These proposals must be scrapped immediately.
Proposals from Police Scotland, sent to Scottish Govt amongst other bodies, earlier this year and not yet finalised. How on earth is this

#VoteKatySNP
🚨REVEALED: Secret SNP plan to shut every police station in Rutherglen and Hamilton West.
Only Scottish Labour will fight SNP cuts and stand up for safe communities.
Totally false to suggest Scot Gov has power to ‘remove the cap’. Power lies with UK Gov. It’s on them to scrap it or devolve the power. Scot Gov can introduce new benefits - it has already done, spending millions on child payment. But ppl still face injustice of 2 child cap.
I'll be honest, I was leaning towards Humza from the start of the
#SNPLeadership
campaign and having watched several hustings and attended yesterday's Glasgow event where he made this speech, I'm now proud to be 💯 with Humza.
#HumzaForScotland
"If they come after your rights, they come after my rights. As your First Minister, I will not just defend, I will be the first one on the front line, ensuring that nobody comes after your rights, either under devolution, or in an independent Scotland."

I wrote to my MP,

Hard to believe that when you criticise the UK Govts disgusting 2 child cap/rape clause affecting your constituents, it's the
@UKLabour
chair of a meeting that shuts you down and appears rattled! Mind you it is a touchy subject for them given it's their policy too 🙄
Labour try to shut down discussion on their 2 child cap policy!
But allow political attacks by Lib Dems and their own members on the SNP Scottish Government.
Here is the stand-in Labour Leader getting increasingly angry at

You gave the Tory leader a job as Head of Planning and their 7 votes secured every position allocated today, including yours. They're certainly not opposition on today's showing.

Over 40 Tory MPs have also decided not to stand at the next election for a variety of reasons, yet this isn't being sensationalised - could

be mischief making 🙄
A stark reminder of the scale of the mess Labour left the city's finances in and the job we have had to do to sort them out. With Birmingham essentially declaring bankruptcy we can see what would have happened if the city had been left in their incompetent hands
Sir Keir Starmer foisting his preferred candidate, who previously left the Labour party over Brexit, on the people of Rutherglen and Hamilton West.
Having recently rejoined, I take it he now fully supports Labour policies - wonder why🤔

An absolute damning find by the Record today…
Labour MSPs told not to support a motion that calls for the devolution of employment law to Scotland - even though it’s Scottish Labour’s own policy 🤷♂️

My brother-in-law died aged 47, hospitalised for a month with no visitors until his last 72 hours & then only his partner. Counting the priest, only allowed 20 socially distanced mourners at his funeral & then straight home to our own households. Still breaks my heart 💔
Labour led South Lanarkshire administration increased CT in

pushed for 3.5%. Labour / Lib Dems, supported as always by the Tories, forced the higher rise through.
#VoteSNP
Here's Labour's by-election candidate out Torying the Tories. That said, how can the SNP be blamed for council tax rises in a local authority run by Labour with the help of the Tories? What next? Blaming Humza Yousaf for Labour's U-turns?
✍️ In an open letter to Labour supporters, Rutherglen & Hamilton West candidate
@KatyLoudonSNP
urges them to oppose Starmer’s rightward lurch.
🗳️ By voting SNP, we can show Keir Starmer his toxic Tory policies are not welcome in Scotland.
Great to see so many disabled members at Rutherglen throughout this campaign, possibly one of the most inclusive campaigns ever run
On my third trip to Rutherglen, it was great to see the indomitable

@SNP_dmg
He might oppose them but there's absolutely nothing he can do about it because his boss. Sir Keir is all for them. Maybe he'll resign like he did over Brexit before he rejoined for a crack at being an MP.
The SNP have been in power for sixteen years, therefore a vote for them will not bring about real change.
Our candidate,
@mgshanks
, opposes the two-child cap and bedroom tax.
People here are fed up with the SNP. Only

@ScottishLabour
Understandably, you can't believe that
@theSNP
still campaigns for the very reason it came into being because you've abandoned every "labour" principle you've ever had. My Granda, a true labour man who worked in the shipyards, would not recognise you at all 🥀
Party politics in full view today (again) - individual Labour Cllrs tells us privately that they support our motion, then vote it down as one. It's our young people who'll suffer for their grandstanding.
Not a single member of the SL Labour Group voted for our motion.
This is despite:
🥀It being one of their 2021 manifesto commitments (pg 97 if you want to check)
🥀Anas Sarwar pledging his support
🥀SL Labour cllrs privately indicating their support
South Lan Labour is broken.
I'm sure there will be wall to wall coverage of this Labour breach of transparency regulations involving £600,000 on
@BBCScotlandNews
@STVNews
etc., but just in case they miss it 👇👇👇
Great news that Boris Johnson is finally going, but remember he'll be replaced by another Tory that Scotland didn't vote for and at the end of the day a Tory's a Tory 🤬
