The Labour Government are putting more children into poverty. It’s time they changed course and followed Scotland’s lead.

Scottish council tax payers are getting the best deal in the UK – paying on average £737 a year less than they would in Labour-run England, and £627 a year less than they would in Labour-run Wales for a Band D property. 

Christina McKelvie’s partner, Keith Brown, along with her sons, Lewis and Jack, are deeply saddened to announce her passing.

In the 2014 independence referendum Westminster politicians said “every Scot will be £1,400 better off every year” if people voted ‘No’. Do you feel £1,400 better off every year since 2014?

There can be no truly sincere or constructive peace talks about the future of Ukraine, without Ukraine present at the negotiating table.

Anas Sarwar’s latest gambit just raises more questions about trust in Labour.

It’s five years since Scotland was dragged out of the EU by the UK Government. The Brexit we didn’t vote for has been an unmitigated disaster.

All of us care about Scotland’s future, and that’s why we want people in Scotland to see tackling child poverty as everybody’s business – as a long-term investment in our future success as a nation.

Read John Swinney’s speech encouraging opposition parties to support a budget that delivers progress, renewal, and hope.

From free tuition to free personal care, we’ve made Scotland a fundamentally fairer country. Labour would take all that away.

After months of defending Sir Keir’s decision to scrap winter fuel payments, Scottish Labour have changed their mind yet again. Austerity Anas’ latest u-turn shows just how few principles Labour has left.

Vital services and charities will be hit by Labour’s latest scheme – it’s time for the Chancellor to come clean on the plot to raise national insurance.

Labour’s disastrous and inexplicable support for Brexit is a blank cheque for decades of chaos.

Since coming into office, the SNP has delivered a raft of progressive, transformational policies – all while majority of people in Scotland pay less tax than elsewhere in the UK.

From his earliest days as Labour leader, Starmer stumbled on policy and backtracked on promises. Here’s every one of Labour’s shameless u-turns.

This wasn’t a budget for “Change”. It’s a know-your-place Budget for low-paid workers, small businesses, families, pensioners, and for Scotland.

Meaningful investment is needed to boost the NHS, put money back into people’s pockets, and deliver strong economic growth after years of Westminster decline.

Ireland’s budget shows up the stark difference between a bright, independent future in Europe and more misery under Westminster’s thumb. There’s no contest which future is best for Scotland.

Starmer and Sarwar put their credibility on the line to get them elected. Now we can reveal the Scottish Labour MPs who called on the Tories to help pensioners in winter – before voting to strip them of their allowance as soon as they reached the Commons.

Anas Sarwar’s MPs don’t listen to him and his boss ignores his views. Labour’s Scottish branch is being seen for what it really is – a fraud.

“Read my lips – no austerity under Labour” said Scottish Labour’s boss Anas Sarwar. As the first key vote looms, will Labour MPs stand up for Scotland or Sir Keir Starmer?

SNP Conference kicks off this weekend – here’s all you need to know about following the Conference online and keeping up to date with the latest developments.

“Read my lips” Anas Sarwar said when he denied Labour austerity. But Westminster spending cuts will ravage Scotland’s budget … and Labour will be responsible.

The SNP is delivering growth and economic success – while Westminster is poised to revert to basics and cut to the bone.
