🏴 Scots pay:
✅ Less income tax
✅ Less Council tax
✅ Less Water Bills
Than they would in England - in return for a higher level of public services.
The UK parties want to bring Scotland in line regardless of the cost.
We can’t let that happen.👇

Child poverty has fallen in Scotland - whilst rising sharply in the UK.
Absolute child poverty in Scotland fell from 23% to 17% - the lowest figure in 30 years.

There is an alternative to Government welfare cuts - a 2% tax on wealth. There is no shortage of money here, we just need a fairer approach to tax - take more from the few not the many.

Does anyone else think Trump/Vance vs Zelenskyy was a bit suss? Engineered? Did Trump's henchmen get no luck in Saudi, so they were looking for the fall guy? The 🍊💩 can turn round and say "it was all Zelenskyy's fault, I tried to stop the war, but he was a ****" (substitute bad word of your choice)

Things are dire for Labour when even BBC Scotland is attacking Sarwar and the Labour party for their inaction and lies regarding the closure of Grangemouth. For Labour in Scotland, that's like being savaged by your pet lamb.

Hospital staff and visitors pay £0.00 to park in Scotlands hospitals thanks to the SNP Scottish Government
They even bought out Labour PFI car parks to make this happen. Money that could have been used elsewhere if we were not lumbered with Labour and Tory PFI bills

How can anyone, even a Lab voter, think this logical let alone fair?
This
"Think on it; Belgium does not produce oil but has 4 oil refineries.
Scotland is the biggest oil producer in N. Europe but has one oil refinery. Labour is closing Scotland's one refinery and giving Belgium £600m to build a fifth one.
Labour is obviously not on Scotland's side."👇🏻
