Westminster plans to cut Universal Credit for under-22s by almost half, as if young people have cheaper lives.
Rent isn’t cheaper at 19.
Food isn’t cheaper at 20.
Disability doesn’t cost less before 22.
If we want a welfare system based on dignity and equality, we need the power to create it.

London: 7°C - Pitlochry: -2°C
Yet the person freezing in Pitlochry pays more for electricity — electricity generated in their own town.
Meanwhile, London, which produces almost none, pays less.
This isn’t just unfair. It’s exploitation. And it’s happening in Scotland every single day.

Quick analysis of The Times today:
Wall to wall negative coverage of Labour’s budget. An editorial that tuts about lack of growth but takes no responsibility. And a double page ad to join Farage/Reform.
Absolutely no analysis on how rightwing ideology - including Brexit - has been utterly ruinous.
