🍎 The SNP Scottish Government are expanding free school meals in South Lanarkshire 🟡 SNP Councillor John Anderson welcomed this crucial investment in our mission to end child poverty. ❌ He called out Labour’s refusal to scrap the cruel two child cap but was shut down by the administration. 📺👇

And, this is despite borrowing £7.2million last year, specifically for Roads, which with the £12million in interest will actually cost the Council/South Lanarkshire residents, £19.2million 😡

There are fewer Scottish children in poverty - FACT. @theSNP - Always on Scotland's side 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

We have submitted an urgent business request to discuss Labour’s cuts to school transport at the Executive Committee meeting this morning. We demand that Councillors have a chance to scrutinise the final details of the cuts before they are introduced - this may be the last opportunity.

Your SNP Councillors took part in today’s Education Committee holding the Labour administration to account. 🚌 We expressed our disappointment that a report on Labour’s school bus cuts with full costing was not brought to this meeting as requested by the SNP.

As Labour know, or maybe they dont, Hamilton was part of the Rutherglen & Hamilton West constituency that Katy previously stood for. Katy is an experienced, capable councillor and was Chair of Education at South Lanarkshire Council from 2017-2022. No parachute required #VoteSNP

Wee leafleting shift for @katyloudonsnp.bsky.social in sunny High Blantyre for me and Sean this morning 🌞 #ActiveSNP #VoteSNP

My first canvass session of the Hamilton Larkhall &Stonehouse by-election done ✔️ Good responses, a quick game of hopscotch (no photos 🤣) and a wee chalk saltire kept us smiling in the rain. On 5th June #VoteKatyLoudonSNP @snpsouthlan.bsky.social

Introducing the new fragrance from Sarwar "A whiff of desperation:

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.

Such sad news today 😢 Christina was a force of nature and I'm glad to have known her. Love and strength to Keith, Jack, Lewis and everyone who's grieving today 💔 RIP Christina x

The entire SNP Group in South Lanarkshire are devastated to learn of the passing of our much-loved colleague, Christina McKelvie MSP. Christina was an amazing, kind and supportive friend to us all, and was an outstanding regional and constituency MSP.

The UK is supplying weapons to a country whose leader is wanted for war crimes. How much simpler can we put it?

And it's a double! Cllr Donna McGill 🥳 Glasgow North East - @snp.org gain 💛

The SNP has just won two by-elections from Labour in Glasgow. No wonder with their cuts to the disabled and more austerity planned. No wonder Anas Sarwar is in trouble. Watch this and share👇

Fantastic news - well done to the whole team 👏

Our budget will provide £90k towards the upcoming Rutherglen 900 Celebrations. This will enable the council, working with the Rutherglen 900 Committee, to ensure Ruglonians can both celebrate the rich 900-year history of their town and enjoy the lasting legacy of such a high-profile event.

@snpsouthlan.bsky.social needs the backing of other parties to make this happen - email your councillors today.

Watch on South Lanarkshire's YouTube channel as we present our budget on Wednesday 26th Feb at 12.30pm. A budget with communities at its heart 💛🖤

Now Anas Sarwar says he will “reinstate” the winter fuel payments. Yet here is Anas Sarwar just last month voting AGAINST reversing the winter fuel cuts! This is simply another lie from Sarwar and Labour trying to bribe voters for the future Scottish election after their ratings have dropped.

🌹 During the election, Labour promised to cut energy bills by £300. 🥀 Bills are now forecast to rise in January by £168 on average, since Labour got in. 💷 A £468 cut is now required to meet that promise.

Love this 😀

A lovely afternoon at the County of West Lanarkshire Guide’s annual review. So many positive stories of activities, achievements and volunteering. Congratulations to all who received awards today. And I was very honoured to be asked to become a Guide Ambassador for this great organisation.

🏘️ We're bringing forward legislation to enhance tenants’ rights through measures such as rent controls. 📢 Scottish Labour backed this in committees but in the chamber they voted against rent controls. ❓ Labour must tell renters are they for or against rent controls.
