Due to strained public finances, there's either going to be major tax reform or massive cuts to services.✂️ Ross tabled amendments to make Council Tax fairer, but they were voted down by other parties. 💔

Reform claim they would scrap Net Zero to get energy bills down.
But renewable energy is *dramatically* cheaper than fossil fuels.
The fuel that’s driving the high cost of energy is gas.
So what on earth are they talking about?

Farage’s latest half-baked plans would stop tax-paying immigrants who make the NHS work from accessing its services themselves.
Would you work under those circumstances?
Reform’s incoherent policies would cripple the NHS, not save it.
We need solutions, not sound bites.

First they came for trans people, and we stood up.
Then they came for immigrants, and we stood up.
When they come for abortion rights, voting rights and science, we'll still be standing.
Stand with us and we'll win, together.

There is no illegal way to claim asylum.
The UK does not provide “safe, legal” routes to claim asylum from abroad for all but a few nationalities, like Ukraine. Everyone else has to be in the UK.
No human is illegal.

Labour are running scared of Reform and have nothing left but dog whistles.
Our crumbling infrastructure & failing public services are the fault of the politicians who gave us austerity, NOT people who moved here for a better life and deliver those public services, run businesses and create jobs.

A new poll shows the Scottish Greens on course to win 15 MSPs, nearly doubling our 2021 result.
Scotland can bring real change. We can build a fairer, greener country for everyone.

As long as the cost of gas dictates the price of renewable energy, we will continue to pay extremely high energy bills.
It is time to reform the wholesale energy market and claim the benefits of cheap renewable energy.

Trump’s worldwide tariffs will result in a transfer upwards of wealth from working people into the hands of billionaires.

Good to hear @podsavetheuk.crooked.com this morning talking about Labour continuing down the Tory road of throttling the democratic right to peaceful protest with even more draconian restrictions. New boss, same as the old boss.

Scotland produces enough cheap #renewable electricity to power the whole country. So why is #energy still so expensive? Because the law says renewable electricity has to be charged at the same price as gas.
We want to change that.
