🥀 Under the UK Labour government, businesses now face higher employee National Insurance costs, rising energy costs, and a flatlining economy.

This afternoon I had the pleasure of visiting Aberdeen Royal Infirmary’s Haematology Service.
I was very pleased to meet cancer nurse specialists Laura & Fiona, who recently won an award for their work from Myeloma UK.
I’d also like to thank charge nurse Louise for the tour.

The Labour Government will not pay WASPI women any compensation.
Pensions Secretary Liz Kendall said the proposed payments weren't 'fair or value for taxpayer money'.
What is not fair are the false promises made by Labour politicians, who have betrayed the WASPI women.

Scotland is a proudly compassionate and welcoming nation who opened our arms to refugees.
While the Tories this week chose to sow division, we choose humanity, dignity, and hope.

I am stunned that Scottish Labour are PAYING to promote this messge in Aberdeen!
Local Labour politicians don't even mention the windfall tax because they know how damaging it is in the North East, with 100,000 jobs at risk because of their policies.

Labour pledged to cut household energy bills by £300 during the election campaign.
Instead, as from 1st January, average gas and electricity bills will have risen by £449 since Labour came to power.
This week Keir Starmer abandoned Labour’s promise to cut bills.
