In light of the UK Labour government’s decision to cut the Winter Fuel Payment and slash PIP provision, the SNP Scottish Government is delivering the support that older disabled people in Glasgow deserve. 1/4

Labour have just put the Tories in power in Angus Council. Your most recent reminder that, if you want to keep the Tories out, the Scottish Labour party cannot be trusted with your vote. www.thecourier.co.uk/fp/news/5227...

At least three legal firms are examining ways in which they could support disabled people and their organisations to challenge some of the government’s proposed cuts to disability benefits in the courts. #PathwaysToWork #WelfareNotWarfare

This alone should be reason not to vote Labour next year. Their Thatcherite legacy lives on in PFI schemes that continue to rob the public purse and public sector workers to this day, due to cost the Scottish taxpayer around £1.1bn this year with £13bn still to be paid.

Strange how there's no magic money tree for Scotland or Wales but a bottomless pit of money for England.

Whoever could have foreseen that the corporatisation and monopolisation of the free press would be a terrible idea.

You do not improve employment prospects by increasing poverty. Make sure your voice is heard - tell your MP - NO to cuts. Write to your MP:

Jeez. A clip has emerged of Donald Trump in the Oval Office discussing how people made money in the recent market fluctuations as a result of his tariffs. "He made two-and-a-half billion today, and he made nine hundred million, that's not bad!"

🌟Good morning. Here’s today’s content from #BrandScotland showcasing Scotland as a fantastic place to live, work, invest, study, and visit. Please share. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🌍

I’m delighted to see that the SNP government has delivered over 36,000 baby boxes across NHS Grampian since they were introduced in 2017. In total, 335,775 boxes have now been distributed to parents across Scotland since the start of the project.

President Trump walked back his steep tariffs on nearly 100 nations that had gone into effect just hours earlier, a shocking reversal that sent stocks soaring. He announced simultaneously that he would raise tariffs on Chinese imports to 125% www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

NOW HEAR THIS!!! 👇👇

The SNP are investing in future generations and are committed to lifting children out of poverty. Next year we'll go further and scrap the two child cap, taking even more children out of poverty. Imagine how much more we could do with independence 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 www.lse.ac.uk/News/Latest-...

New figures from Public Health Scotland show every adult in D&G saved nearly £330 last year on prescription charges on average as compared to nearly £10 each in England – that’s a total of £41.5 million in household pockets across D&G in 2024 alone.

Christina McKelvie saw the very best in people, and growing up she also saw firsthand the injustice faced by her family and her community. Her experiences made her determined to address the many injustices facing society. We will carry on that fight in Christina’s honour.

WOW - I shouldn't be surprised by Trump but somehow I didn't think this was something even he wouldn't try lol

Never forget that Labour pledged to cut energy bills by £300 during the election campaign and look what has happened to your bills since. Labour lies!

Brick by brick, house after house, the SNP are building a better Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Christina was the most genuine, caring and empathetic person I will ever meet. Anyone who worked for her as she supported constituents, @snp.org and fought for independence will know how life-changing the experience was. My thoughts are with her family. Thank you for everything, boss.

Everyone at the SNP DMG is devasted to hear of passing of Christina. She was a political force of nature and a true friend and ally to the disabled community.

I am devastated at the passing of Christina McKelvie MSP, Minister for Drugs and Alcohol Policy and one of the kindest and most generous people I have ever met. A force of nature, Christina enhanced the lives of all around her. My deepest sympathy to Keith, Jack and Lewis.

The body of a disabled man was found in his flat in distressing, squalid conditions, just weeks after the Department for Work and Pensions wrongly removed his disability benefits because he had failed to return a claim form.

Making people poorer will do nothing but harm. Let’s make sure the Government hears us: benefit cuts are not the answer. Write to your MP today. buff.ly/udQTbQS #DisabilityBenefits #Disability ♿

Hard to believe we have a Labour government choosing to increase child poverty. Meanwhile, with our game-changing Scottish Child Payment, we have an SNP government working hard to reduce child poverty.

Hey Labour lefties, see the "they're just trying to appeal to swing voters, they'll move left once they're in government" you promised us? When are we getting that?

The disability element of Universal Credit will be cut by 50% and frozen for new claimants. I don't have the language to express the hatred I have in my soul for these people.

Too many commentators/media reports still accepting UKG line that cuts to PIP are about helping people back to work. PIP is a recognition of the additional costs of a disability/long term condition. It is NOT related to being in or out of work.

Jeez. The Government’s own impact assessment on welfare cuts finds they would drive 250,000 more people, including 50,000 children, into poverty

This is shocking. Governments impact assessment estimates * 3.2 million families lose an average of £1,720 a year * PIP claimants who are no longer eligible will lose an average of £4,200 * 50,000 more children will be pushed into relative poverty

We know this is a worrying time for many - behind every policy debate are real people experiencing real struggles. Though we are not able to offer support services, we have a range of resources on our website to help find support near you: buff.ly/cM8t5BF #Disability #DisabilityBenefits

Published today: 11 new reports following visits to mental health services and community services in Scotland. They highlight aspects of care & treatment where we think the service could do better, and making recommendations for change where necessary: bit.ly/4kUwV6J

💜Today is #PurpleDay, a time to raise awareness about epilepsy and the 630,000 folk living with the condition in the UK. Remember to Calm, Cushion and Call if you see someone having a seizure. More info at www.epilepsysociety.org.uk

This is tomorrow in Aberdeen! Please come along if you can so it's not just me waving a sign!

Ministers have pledged to “tear down” barriers to trade with the European Union after new figures showed Brexit has cost UK business a staggering £37bn a year www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

Just going to post on here about FND awareness day today (apologies for no alt text on images I am still learning how to do them) as someone who has been diagnosed with FND I know first hand how debilitating it can be we need to make more people aware of it (doctors included)

Cuts for Disabled people Meanwhile in a galaxy far far away MPs get a 2.8% pay rise - maybe the Chancellor should look closer too home for her cuts? Wealth Taxes? Weaken the Fiscal rules? Invest in rebuilding the economy? or More austerity for the poorest in society? Why hit the poorest? Socialism?

Four disabled people told MPs of the life-threatening risks that would be caused by proposed cuts to disability benefits, just a day before the government confirmed the “very, very dangerous” reforms.

🥀 Both current and former Scottish Labour MSPs know Labour are wrong on cutting support for disabled people. @anassarwar.bsky.social - are your MSPs wrong?

Another timely & important analysis from @99organisation.bsky.social “the answer is not to increase taxes on the bottom 99% -- but to focus on the extremely wealthy, who pay a lower percentage rate of tax than almost all of the rest of us”

An important reminder and don't let anyone tell you otherwise. 👇
