This is good to hear that UK Gov is changing council tax collection rules in England so that it is less aggressive and gives people who are struggling and have missed payments more time to pay before further debt recovery action.

It's perfectly reasonable to challenge ministers on N Sea oil & gas as a response to the energy shock. But this is the exclusive framing for EVERY interview on this topic. No minister or opposition leader is ever asked if they'll "max out" wind/solar. It's always framed as fossil fuels v inaction

We've seen a lot of divisive language and misinformation about people seeking safety lately. This is the reality of claiming asylum and being a refugee in Scotland 👇

Reports that the Ofgem energy debt relief scheme, a huge campaign win for us and the sector, has been paused are deeply concerning. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

"Over the last few years, American tech oligarchs have become the greatest argument against their own existence. The sheer scale of their erratic behavior and political interference proves that extreme wealth concentration is a structural threat to society." -Joni Askola

This week we ended the two child limit. In England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland. Great to hear from parents, @alisonstaylormp.bsky.social and @aberlourcharity.bsky.social about the difference that change will bring to every corner of our country.

Thanks to @UK Government Secretary of State for Education, @bphillipsonmp.bsky.social and @alisonstaylormp.bsky.social for visiting our Glasgow Family Support Service today to hear from families affected by the Universal Credit 2 child limit and what removing it will mean for them. #EndChildPoverty

🚨 ALERT: Hunger in Scotland isn’t a food problem - it’s an income problem. When incomes don’t cover essentials, food banks become lifelines. BUT no one should have to rely on them to survive.

For children, young people, families and care experienced adults this means they will have more say in the decisions that impact their lives, more support transitioning into adulthood, and a better Children’s Hearings System, among many other things. Learn more here: https://ow.ly/CixG50Ywx8H

Too many people in Scotland are unable to afford the essentials. The next Scot Govt must take bolder action to end the need for food banks. All of political parties should commit to action in #SP26 manifestos & work with UK Govt to ensure everyone can afford the essentials

🚨 Hundreds of thousands in Scotland face hunger as hardship drags on. 📦 200,000 emergency food parcels were provided across Scotland in 2025. 🧒 56% of parcels were for families with children. 📈 That’s down 13% on 2024 but up 64% since 2015.

Guardianship Scotland, delivered in partnership by us and @scotrefugeecouncil.bsky.social, is calling on all political parties ahead of the Scottish Election in 2026 to protect the rights of unaccompanied asylum-seeking children. Read all our calls 👇

We're calling on the Scottish Government to: 💙 Make the School Meal Debt Fund permanent (until it is no longer needed) 💚 Increase free school meal eligibility to all low-income families receiving the Scottish Child Payment to prevent school meal debt in the first place

The School Meal Debt Fund has been a vital support for struggling families worried about feeding their children at home and at school. The impact of the fund has been far greater than first anticipated, reaching 70k children & their families. It must continue until we #EndSchoolMealDebt for good.

This is hilarious. Also, completely enraging.

This is devastating. I hope no one is hurt. I also pray it doesn’t spread to Central or any nearby buildings. What a disaster that would be for the city.
