Keir Starmer is rushing through a deal to save himself. But Labour's disability cuts will push 150,000 people into poverty, according to their own figures. MPs must vote against these appalling cuts today. Scotland is not following this approach under @theSNP

For the Labour MPs who found some principle and joined the chorus of backlash against Labour's disability cuts, I’d urge you to hold firm. This hasty deal will drive poverty, deny opportunity, and deepen inequality for sick and disabled people. ❌MPs must oppose it.

The digital tech drop-in at the Scottish Parliament brought together Scotland’s tech community to help keep policy informed and responsive. Thanks to everyone who made it such an engaging day!

This is the effect of SNP policies like the Scottish Child Payment. But 50,000 more children will be pushed into poverty by Labour's #WelfareCuts. Write to your MP and urge them to oppose the Universal Credit and PIP Bill on Tuesday 1st July. 👉writetothem.com

I asked the Scottish Government about the level of engagement it has had with North Lanarkshire Council on addressing antisocial behaviour involving the use of off-road vehicles in Motherwell and Wishaw. #snp #motherwell #wishaw #northlanarkshire

While Labour cut PIP across the UK, we won’t let disabled people down here in Scotland. We will not cut Scotland’s Adult Disability Payment - our equivalent of PIP. www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/politic...

Sick and disabled people moving to Universal Credit are being threatened with sanctions if they don't provide a GP fit note within 7 days, despite receiving ESA. This is adding to the anxiety facing disabled people because of Labour's planned cuts 👉https://shorturl.at/4kv21

The Universal Credit and Personal Independence Payment Bill was published today. Labour's appalling cuts to social security support will deepen inequality for sick and disabled people. Importantly, due to SNP policy, PIP changes will not be mirrored in Scotland's Adult Disability Payment.

🇵🇸 What’s happening in Gaza is unacceptable and cannot continue. Scotland doesn’t represent itself on the world stage - but where we do have the power, we’ll not shy away from being a voice for peace👇

The Scottish Languages Bill has been passed unanimously by the Scottish Parliament. 👉gov.scot/news/scottish-languages-bill-passed/

Labour campaigned against the two child cap in opposition. It's a key driver of child poverty. 🤷‍♂️ In power, they shrug their shoulders. The Scottish National Party (SNP) will scrap it. 👉gov.scot/news/scrapping-the-two-child-limit-to-help-end-child-poverty/ #NorthLanarkshire #Motherwell #Wishaw

‼️The SNP will end the two child cap from 02 March 2026. The two-child cap restricts support in universal credit to two children in a family. It is a key driver of child poverty. ⌛️Families cannot wait for Labour to find some principle. The SNP will act. 👉https://shorturl.at/olYlz

It is #CarersWeek 2025! 'Caring About Equality' highlights the inequalities faced by unpaid carers, including a greater risk of poverty, social isolation, poor mental and physical health. Some people look after a friend, loved one, or neighbour, but don't think of themselves as a carer.

Labour can't even u-turn with purpose. @snp.org is stepping in to protect winter fuel payment support for Scottish pensioners. But the UK Government should urgently clarify its plans and end the anxiety for pensioners across the UK. #FMQs #Motherwell #Wishaw

Pre-menstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD) is a severe form of premenstrual syndrome characterised by debilitating psychological symptoms. It is often dismissed, misdiagnosed and poorly managed.

Find out more about Ofgem's announcement on the forced installation of prepayment meters. It is welcome news but people in #Motherwell and #Wishaw still face a raft of unfair #energy billing practices. 👉https://shorturl.at/ZJ2xz

Welcome to see some action on the forced installation of prepayment meters. I have raised this repeatedly with Ofgem and energy companies. Regulation still needs to go further on the unfair practices facing struggling households. #Motherwell #Wishaw 👇 shorturl.at/P0DRw

The Scottish Child Payment has been hailed by anti-poverty charities for its impact. In contrast, Labour is cutting social security support for sick and disabled people and continues to dither on the two child cap - a huge driver of child poverty. 👉shorturl.at/H2RPX

Catch up on my debate on problem gambling as a public health issue. Problem gambling causes massive impacts on finances, health, and wellbeing. Aggressive marketing and easy access pose real problems for people. And stigma hinders support when it’s needed. 👇

Labour's immigration rhetoric is demonising friends, neighbours, and loved ones who have made their home here and are a valued part of Scottish society. Scotland needs inward migration and political pandering doesn't change that fact. 👇

I welcome closer integration with the #EU. Brexit has been an unmitigated disaster. But on this, and so much else, Scotland is an afterthought for the Labour Government. And it's disappointing that culture and touring artists were not part of these negotiations. youtube.com/shorts/2_Cje...

Problem gambling can cause massive impacts on finances, health, and wellbeing. Stigmatisation can put people off from seeking support when it’s needed. I am leading a Scottish Parliament debate on problem gambling and our public health response. Watch it live on Wednesday 👉scottishparliament.tv

The Fostering Network estimates that Scotland needs at least 400 more foster carers. A new campaign aims to encourage people in #Motherwell and #Wishaw and across Scotland to consider the life-changing impact they could make by #fostering. 👉 gov.scot/fostercare

Delighted to chair the latest meeting of the #Motherwell and #Wishaw Community Action Network (CAN) I hope that by highlighting some brilliant support projects available throughout Motherwell and Wishaw, people can find help when it’s needed or perhaps get involved with helping our community.

Pandering to anti-immigrant sentiment hurts our public services, threatens jobs, economic growth, and our ability to care for the most vulnerable in our community. The people who have made their home in Scotland are valued and welcome; our friends, neighbours, and loved ones.

Not my words, but the words of 42 Labour MPs who know their party's cuts are indefensible. I hope the rest of them find some principle. 👉https://shorturl.at/vG0qJ

Happy #EuropeDay! Europe Day is a celebration of peace and unity. These are not static ideals; they require sustained collective effort. We must be vigilant to threats to hard won freedoms. With a focus on our common humanity, we hope for more peaceful times.

Labour’s cuts are a clear threat to public services, but the SNP will always stand up for Scotland and the people who rely on those services. Find out more about our action for the #NHS 👉https://shorturl.at/iWd4H
