Watch 🎥 @AndreaCowanSNP quoting a Labour colleague who slammed the new UK Labour Chancellor's cuts to Winter Fuel Payments. He was not at Council today, but I couldn't agree with him more. His Labour colleagues had no reply. Look forward to seeing Council's letter to the PM ✍️

🤨 Some facts; - SLC to invest £18m in care facilities; some current ones are aging - New model of care will provide more than 3x the current number of beds - 5 yr rollout will fully consult those involved - Whipping up fear in vulnerable folk for political capital is despicable

I’m supporting the campaign by @labour_southlan to keep McWhirters House in Larkhall + Kirkton House in Blantyre open. These care homes are under threat from SNP-run in South Lanarkshire Council. Vulnerable older people must not be forced to pay the price of SNP austerity.

Cllr Clark has just been denied an item of urgent business on this matter. Neither he nor I were allowed to speak to challenge this, nor were we allowed any questions. I would have asked if promised engagement had taken place - and am now left presuming that is therefore a no 🤷‍♀️

ScotGov analysis has said scrapping the two-child limit would be “the most cost-effective UK welfare reform to reverse”. CPAG have said it has caused families “widespread suffering and hardship” for 6 years. “Change” with Labour means no change at all 🥀

"Recently [Jonathan Ashworth] called the two child benefit cap heinous & suggested Lab will scrap it. Can you confirm if that is Labs policy?" Starmer: "That isn't our policy" So Labours Shadow Secretary of State thinks the policy is heinous but Labour are going to keep it.

South Lanarkshire Labour, Not only did they team up with the Tories to deny over 6000 universal free meals to our P4/P5s but they went against Labour’s own manifesto pledge. In this letter to Richard Leonard and Jeremy Corbyn I ask for clarity #LunchSnatchers

Stephen is bang on the money – it comes as no surprise that the Johnson report confirms he repeatedly lied to parliament, and lied to the public. He should be stripped of all and any exPM benefits, and the public should not be liable for his legal costs.
