BBC Scotland is completely out of control with this story now. It's so bad that presenters are making stuff up in order to lend weight to Unionist smears against John Swinney, Nicola Sturgeon and other SNP figures. We see them! #BBCBias #SNPBadAtALLTimes 😡

She’s quite simply arguing for the destruction of the social safety net. We pay collectively for a better fairer society. If we only pay for what we get, we all end up with nothing. That a Labour chancellor should be so intellectually lacking on this issue shows the depth to which the party has sunk

To those saying, "but the Greens will split the vote":
1. Things have changed.
2. It's not the Green's fault that Starmer has the Merdas Touch (turns everything to shit)
3. When the Greens offer the only inspiring option, perhaps we should see the Labour candidate as splitting the vote.
