🔍 Westminster given Scotland: ⚡ High energy bills 📉 Plummeting living standards 🤯 The damage of Brexit 💛 We need a fresh start with independence.

❌ Families here in Angus have been let down by successive Westminster governments which have dealt damage to our economy, society and living standards. 🗳️ It's time Scotland's birthplace chose a brighter future - with independence.

❌ Westminster will try to deny Scotland's democracy until we deliver a resounding victory for independence next year. 💛 Let's do it - by voting SNP here in Angus South.

At the going down of the sun, and in the morning, we will remember them.

💛 The SNP offers: ✅ Strong leadership with John Swinney ✅ Always putting Scotland's interests first ✅ A choice on independence

🏚️ Residents in Milton Street in Monifieth have been anxious and worried about RAAC in their homes. 🤝 Homeowners and tenants alike must be part of a fair solution that removes the RAAC completely. 💛 That's what I've been working on as a local councillor, and it's what I'll keep fighting for.

🩺 The SNP will set up walk-in GP centres so you can see a GP quicker - open seven days a week with no appointment needed.

✂️ The Tories want to scrap: 💊 Free prescriptions 🎓 Free tuition 🍼 The baby box 💛 The SNP is delivering support to families across Scotland - and we'll always protect it.

🥀 Labour will always do what their bosses in London tell them. 💛 The SNP is always on Scotland's side.

💛 The SNP has delivered: 💷 Record NHS funding 🩺 Increase in GP numbers 📉 Waiting times coming down

Thank you @lloydmelville.bsky.social SNP candidate for Angus South for visiting our stand and signing our pledge to make lung health a priority in Scotland by improving prevention, diagnosis, treatment and care #SNP25

🥀 Labour promised to Make Brexit Work — now they admit it’s made Britain poorer. 💷 Reeves is planning tax hikes and spending cuts to fill the Brexit black hole. 💛 Scotland shouldn’t pay the price for Westminster’s mess — we need independence.

👂 Will he listen? ✂️ Will he follow the SNP’s lead and scrap the cruel two-child cap? 🥀 Or will Labour leave a generation of kids trapped in poverty?

📊 A new poll shows Scotland would choose independence if asked tomorrow. 🚨 Westminster’s chaos is pushing more people towards Yes. 📈 The momentum for a fairer, independent Scotland is growing stronger every day.

💷 University tuition fees in England & Wales (as of today): £9,535 🎓 Tuition fees in Scotland: £0 ✅ That’s the difference the SNP makes.

❌ Starmer's first year: Cuts, betrayal, silence. Scotland deserves better.

🤥 Anas Sarwar promised to "stand up to Keir Starmer". 🔍 At every turn, he falls into line behind his bosses in London. 🥀 A follower, not a leader - he just can't stand up for Scotland.

⏬ While Anas Sarwar backs Starmer's cuts to disability support, the SNP is protecting people with disabilities in Scotland. 🥀 Sarwar is too weak to stand up to his boss - even when 150,000 disabled people are about to be plunged into poverty.

🚨 A majority of Scots support independence. ✅ According to the latest Ipsos poll, 52% would vote Yes for independence. 🗳️ A better future is possible - but we have to vote for it.

🥀 After a year in office, Keir Starmer's approval is at an all-time low in Scotland. ⏬ With Labour's litany of broken promises, it's no wonder people have lost faith in the Westminster system. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴 Scotland can do better than Labour failure - with independence.

🚨 Anas Sarwar backs £5 BILLION in disability cuts - even as 1 in 3 Scottish Labour MPs rebel. 🥀 Labour’s “reform” means slashing support for disabled people who can’t work. 💛 In Scotland, the SNP are delivering social security with dignity, fairness and respect.

✅ We are acting to lift people out of poverty. 📅 From March next year, we will scrap Labour's two-child benefit cap - lifting 20,000 children out of poverty. 💛 The SNP is delivering progress for Scotland.

I recently spoke to a sizeable employer in my ward, who told me they doubted whether they would still be in business in the next ten years - because of the ENICs hike. Jobs will be lost because of poor decisions taken at Westminster. Scotland can do so much better than this.
