Welsh First Minister, Labour's Mark Drakeford, has just said that the the UK Government's blocking of Holyrood's GRR Bill is wrong, a dangerous move, and he agrees with First Minister @NicolaSturgeon that it could be a slippery slope.

The Tories have given us austerity, Brexit & a cost of living crisis made in Westminster - they've shown nothing but disrespect and contempt for Scotland. They deserve nothing less than to be electorally wiped out – that is what voting for @theSNP can deliver at this Election.

📻 @Ianblackford_MP on #GMS makes it clear that if Tory MPs were putting the people of this country first then they would allow a general election to take place.

It is hugely insincere for @Douglas4Moray talk about eradicating the "POVERTY-RELATED attainment gap" without accepting the root cause - poverty - and that his Westminster bosses are fuelling a rise in the levels of poverty across the UK. #FMQs

📺 @Ianblackford_MP tells @BBCBreakfast the UK is “the most unequal society in North West Europe and the effects of this Tory budget will deepen down on the inequality that is already there.” The priority should be getting people through this winter - not rewarding the rich.

At tragic times like this, we see what our leaders are made of and the values they hold. Despite the unimaginable personal agony @HumzaYousaf and his family are going through right now, I struggle to think of anyone showing as much strength, compassion and integrity. ❤️

Great day for @HumzaYousaf to be out in Bellshill with an amazing bunch of @theSNP activists, speaking to people and businesses about their priorities. The SNP is the only party that will protect communities across Scotland from the brunt of Westminster policies. #ActiveSNP

The only crystal clear way to put Scotland’s future in Scotland’s hands is by electing a majority SNP Government in May. On top of that, you will be voting for a trusted, compassionate leader with a strong track record. #BothVotesSNP #SP21
