Yes, you read right. This is the Labour party's office leader in Scotland failing to support the Scottish Government because -get this- it isn't mitigating the impact of his own party's policy from Westminster "fast enough".

Eradicating child poverty is an investment in our people, not a cost to be borne.
SNP policies like the Scottish Child Payment are already keeping an estimated 100,000 children out of poverty.
Our Budget will do more by acting to lift the two-child limit.

A word on the Allison Pearson free speech row, and what she describes as a ‘Kafkaesque’ threat to it. We asked her on @thenewsagents.bsky.social to discuss.
She said: ‘No. And if you get any aspect of the story wrong my lawyers will be watching.’
