Lowest council tax bills in the UK.
Peak rail fares gone for good.
Child poverty falling.
That is our SNP record and proof that self-government works.
Imagine how much more we could do with the powers of independence.

Your SNP Scottish Government has abolished peak rail fares for good.
This means a cheaper daily commute for thousands across Scotland.
That’s money back in your pocket, whether you’re travelling for work or leisure, given the reduced cost of rail travel.

First Aberdeen’s single fare prices will apply on these services, which also means they will be included in the Scottish Government’s free bus travel schemes.

Brexit has cost the UK £140bn - £2000 per person - and sent prices skyrocketing.
Farage is the cause of the cost of living crisis, not the solution.
Will he apologise to Scots for the damage he’s caused tomorrow - or will he keep avoiding the obvious?

The UK has used the Scottish fishing industry as a bargaining chip for its own ends - again.
They didn’t even bother to consult the Scottish Government this time.
Only independence would allow us to negotiate our own settlement, and protect Scotland’s fishing industry.

If the UK followed our lead, 800,000 fewer children would be in poverty.
