The SNP is advocating for a social tariff for energy consumers to help cut household bills. The UK Labour Government must step up to the plate & help make this a reality. People need help during this cost of living crisis.

Tackling poverty and inequality across Aberdeen remains a top priority for the council administration. The Fairer Aberdeen Fund provides an opportunity for organisations to do great work helping individuals, families and communities

Aberdeen City Council has received over £400k from the Scottish Government to clear school meal debt accrued until 31st March 2024. Read more at: www.aberdeencity.gov.uk/news/council...

So much for Labour’s election pledge to energy bills by £300. Westminster continues to fail when it comes to fair energy prices. Scotland has the energy, what we need now is the powers to reform electricity & gas pricing. It’s time for independence. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

The SNP have reaffirmed their commitment to holding Labour to account and standing up for policies that put Scotland’s people first - warning Labour they must keep their promises in the New Year.   Read more at:- www.facebook.com/KevinStewartSNP

Earlier this month I had a walk around Bucksburn Swimming Pool with @AlastairGossip to set out our plans. 👇🏻 @AberdeenCC is investing over £2 million to modernise the facility and get it open again for the community. www.pressandjournal.co.uk/fp/news/aber...

Sums it up…

We have the people, the talent, the culture, the skill, the beauty, the natural resources, the institutions, we just need our independence. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

I am stunned that Scottish Labour are PAYING to promote this messge in Aberdeen! Local Labour politicians don't even mention the windfall tax because they know how damaging it is in the North East, with 100,000 jobs at risk because of their policies.

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 A positive response to the SNP Government’s budget this week www.thetimes.com/article/49b7...

Things you love to see: 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Scottish independence support up to 54% 💛 @thesnp.bsky.social polling 16 points ahead of Labour ❤️ @johnswinney.bsky.social the most popular politician in Scotland www.thetimes.com/uk/scotland/...

🤝 Had a great day with friends and colleagues at @thesnp.bsky.social National Council today 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 There was desire to continue to build a better country, some fantastic ideas about how we get there, and a positive mood all around!

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 People across Scotland need to have a warm, safe, and affordable place to live. 🏘️ We'll boost Scotland's affordable housing supply, investing £768m in our housing programme. 🔨 This enables housing providers to deliver at least 8,000 homes.

Welcome news for Aberdeen in the budget.

📣 Eradicating child poverty is the Scottish Government's top priority. 🥀 But when Labour came into power in Westminster, they kept the brutal two-child cap. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Our budget will end it in Scotland, lifting over 15,000 Scottish children out of poverty.

I welcome the £768 million that has been allocated for affordable homes by your SNP Government.

💷 @thesnp.bsky.social @scottishgovernment.bsky.social are providing an extra £1 billion to local authorities next year 📈 This will support councils to improve services, and fund pay rises

👨‍👩‍👦‍👦 @thesnp.bsky.social will scrap Labour's two-child cap 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 This will lift around 15,000 children in Scotland out of poverty 🥀 The Tories introduced it, Labour kept it, only the SNP stepped up to abolish it

Absolutely delighted that Cabinet Secretary, Shona Robison has proposed the scrapping of the horrific two child benefit cap in Scotland’s budget. This will lift 15,000 children out of poverty if the budget is passed.

Raising tax thresholds by 3.5% will keep more money in people’s pockets.

📽 It was a pleasure to discuss the future of @belmontcinema.bsky.social with chairperson @jacobmcampbell.bsky.social, and their educational partner from ShmuFM, Murray Dawson 🎞 The closure of the independent cinema was a big loss to Aberdeen. I would love to see it reopened soon!

Labour pledged to cut household fuel bills by £300, but instead your gas & electricity bills have risen by £ 170. Labour lied! Energy bills are £470 higher than Labour promised. It’s time for energy rich Scotland to have the power to set bills for ourselves - independence 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

An absolute honour to receive @thesnp.bsky.social Councillor of the Year award at the St Andrew’s awards dinner last night I couldn’t do what I do without the support of the fantastic Team @aberdeensnp.bsky.social

Job opportunities for Aberdeen drop by 700 in just 43 days. How low will they go? This is a betrayal and quite clearly shows that the power over Scotland’s energy should be in Scotland’s hands - independence 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

If you're a carer, are you getting everything you're entitled to? Social Security Scotland delivers three payments for carers, supporting you to look after others, including two that are only available in Scotland. Find out more about the help you can get at www.mygov.scot/browse/benef...

❌ Labour promised not to raise taxes on working people, but this is a tenants’ tax that will be hitting every council tenant here in Aberdeen if they do not address this issue. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Aberdeen City Council’s Housing Convener, Cllr Miranda Radley, has written to the Chancellor urging her to think again.

NEW: Chancellor Rachel Reeves's cut to the Winter Fuel Payment will push as many as 100,000 pensioners into relative poverty, the UK Government's own analysis has found

🏠 Aberdeen City Council's Strategic Housing Investment Programme has delivered 806 affordable homes across Aberdeen in 2023/24 🏗️ A mix of council housing and housing provided by registered social landlords, made possible by funding from the Scottish Government’s Affordable Housing Supply Programme

The fallout from Labour’s budget continues with mortgage cost rises joining predicted food & broadband price hikes. Instead of resolving the cost of living crisis, Labour are adding to it and households across the country are suffering because of their policies.

Never forget…

A little help for the people of #Aberdeen and #Aberdeenshire
