Genuinely baffled at the reactionary response to the richest 5% and 1% paying more in income tax in Scotland. Many saying they’ll just move South of the border; here’s what you can get in England by paying less tax as one of the richest people compared to the rest of us:

Shameful to learn that @johnadgrady the MP for Glasgow East decided that the two-child benefit cap should remain. I’m sure he’s proud to have voted to keep what is now Labour’s two-child cap. John could learn something from his 7 colleagues who have now lost the whip.

The Scottish Government have spent £900 million on mitigating Tory policies like the Bedroom tax, all while investing further in social security to tackle the effects of Tory policies that make more and more people worse off. Scotland needs independence from UK Governments.

Someone on £150,000 is the top 1%. That’s a take home pay of £86,000 a year, £53k higher than the median salary at £33k. The knee-jerk reaction from folk who don’t realise they have it so good with their 3 motors in a drive way.

I’m not fussed either way but it’s extremely disappointing that the decision to end the BHA wasn’t put to a party member vote. I’m not sure what the leadership expect to gain from this position because I’m not sure it materially improves anything.

Find it absolutely fried that a study from Glasgow Uni found a direct link between UKGOV Tory austerity and a lower life expectancy for folk in Scotland (and probably elsewhere) and it’s only got as far as a headline. Why do we allow this?

Flicked over to Sunak V Starmer for a moment and dear me what two awful excuses of human beings. This is the choice? The only other option is independence for Scotland.

Tell ye something, activists knock their pan in their free time, they take annual leave from work to be able to campaign for what they believe in. It’s cliques like this that turn people away from politics. Rancid and snobby.

The fact is, the UK Government has cut the Scottish Governments budget year after year for the last 10 years. It becomes impossible to offer decent pay rises when the budget is so restrained by Westminster rule. While there is some control over tax, it’s no where near enough.

We’re saying first hand the kind of person Humza is and how though his justice and health portfolios, was and is able to connect with people and show compassion in a way most UK politicians are lacking. Indeed - in a way most western leaders are lacking.

103,000 children now benefitting from the Scottish Child Payment in Scotland. Doubled to £20 a week per child in April and will go up to £25 per week by the end of the year. All while the UK Government cut the £20 uplift in Universal Credit. We can do so much more with Indy.

They’re terrified of scrutiny - “we’re about to start campaigning”. Desperate to get away. Spineless.

The pathetic charade of journalists hanging about Baillieston outside Nicola Sturgeons home is tiresome. I didn’t like it when they were camped outside Jeremy Corbyn’s home, Gove’s, Johnson or anyone. Really should not be allowed.

John made other recent comments and when Shettleston branch met, members were absolutely scathing of his views, both pro-choice and pro-life members. @JohnMasonMSP heard the anger from members in the branch meeting that night but did not listen. It is a women’s right to choose.

One point missed here is yes, health is devolved - however, we don’t have the power of many taxes or borrowing powers to provide more funding to the NHS. We asked the Treasury for more money to give public sector workers a decent pay rise, the UK Gov said no. Limited power. #bbcdn

An independent Scotland would repeal the UK Trade Union Act 2016 - scrapping anti-trade union laws - as a first step. #indyref2 #YouYesYet ?
