Katrina Murray, MP for Cumbernauld and Kirkintilloch supported this disastrous Welfare Bill from the very start - shame on her.
Labour have shown their true colours. With the limited powers of Scottish Parliament, the SNP government can step in to protect local disabled people.

Last summer, ScotRail removed Bishopbriggs and Lenzie from the Edinburgh service due to driver shortages, significantly impacting local commuters.
Today, I asked Cabinet Minister to confirm if driver numbers have recovered to prevent a repeat of such timetable reductions.

Labour’s first year in government has proven one thing - they might have changed the faces in Downing Street, but they have continued Tory austerity.
The SNP will never stand by while families suffer. We will always act to protect the most vulnerable and deliver for the people of Scotland.

Under John Swinney, the SNP has made eradicating child poverty its top priority. Scotland is the only part of the UK where child poverty is expected to fall as a direct result of SNP policies.
All we are getting from the UK Labour government on the cruel two-child cap is more empty rhetoric.

PFI schemes cost East Dunbartonshire Council £18.8 million last year - and even more next year. 👇
What a charge to the taxpayer from these decades-old Labour and Tory deals.
The SNP scrapped PFI – but these contracts are still in place – costing Scottish councils half a billion pounds this year.

Everyone should have a warm, safe and affordable home. Under this SNP government we're working to ensure those who need it most have access to housing.
I'm proud Scotland continues to invest more per person than any other UK nation to tackle homelessness and help people stay in their own homes.

Does your home have a Radio Teleswitch electricity meter?
From June, the signal that controls these meters is being switched off. Some homes could be left without heating or hot water. If your energy supplier has been in touch about getting a new meter, don’t delay – contact them today!
