📉 Scotland's capital budget - which builds affordable homes - faces a 9% cut from the UK Labour Government. 🥀 Anas Sarwar insists there's "no austerity under Labour", while his bosses slash Scotland's budget - and remove the Winter Fuel Payment from millions of pensioners.

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 New stats reveal that Scotland's economy under the SNP is powering ahead of the UK's. Scottish economy has grown in the latest recorded month (July), while the UK's stagnated - and that's excluding oil and gas revenues.

Labour still have time to admit they got it wrong and perform a U-turn on their dreadful Winter Fuel Payment cut. As Sharon Graham, general secretary of the Unite union said, "It is wrong and it needs to be reversed."

NEW: Scots believe that becoming independent and joining the EU would be better for the country than remaining in the UK, a major new study has found. Attitudes towards Brexit have become deeply entwined with opinions about Scotland’s place in the Union, analysis has found.

Ten years ago, Better Together deceived people into voting No by promising a massive suite of new powers for the Scottish Parliament. Most of them weren’t delivered. Watch Kenny Gibson and @AngusRobertson dismantle the notion of ‘most powerful devolved parliament in the world’.

While Labour in Scotland MPs voted to cut winter fuel payments, yet again it’s the ⁦ @theSNP ⁩ MPs who are standing up for Scotlands pensioners. Change??? The only change is the colour of the rosette

“There is palpable anger from the public that the Labour Party is choosing to balance the books on the backs of the poorest members of society. “George Osborne did it before - and Rachel Reeves is repeating the trick” @StephenFlynnSNP on Labour’s winter fuel cuts to pensioners

What will Scottish Labour MPs do? They represent constituencies and a whole country that’s colder in winter than rUK - and in summer. Folk on Western Isles say heating has been on all summer. Courage or conformity?

Residential property sales @RegistersOfScot in Scottish Island regions. Interesting to note in 2023 the high percentage of cash sales (no mortgage) in the islands 57%, compared to the mainland 37%. Difficult for island youngsters to compete in this market.

🚨 This is the context for the decisions that all devolved Governments will be forced to take. The SNP warned about this during the election campaign.

. @theSNP Scottish Government has balanced its budget every year since coming to power in 2007. We do not have the same borrowing powers Westminster enjoys to smooth in year pressures or cuts arriving from Westminster. As @wesstreeting rightly said “all roads lead to Westminster”

During the election campaign, the SNP consistently warned about £18bn of Labour’s austerity plans which Starmer and Reeves denied. Now it turns out it is even worse, at £22bn. More cuts, more austerity, more broken promises while ordinary people are hurting.
