💷 We're delivering a £120 million funding boost for Scotland's local councils - above and beyond the £100 million councils asked for.
🤝 Councils will have complete flexibility to spend this additional money as they wish in 2022-23.

When I was 17 - I was living on my own, was a full-time student, and worked two part-time jobs. The fact the Tories think that only those over 23 deserve this so-called "national living wage" is insulting.

This is a fiercer punishment than Patrick Grady received for sexually assaulting a teenage staff member.

It wasn’t that long ago Thomas stood in solidarity (quite literally) with LGBT+ people… now he is just doing gutter politics because the Tories literally have nothing positive to say. So disappointing.
The SNP's Gender Reform Bill risks the safety of women across Scotland.
Despite opposition from their own voters, Labour’s candidate in Rutherglen & Hamilton West backs this flawed bill.
