The Labour Government's own figures show their disability cuts will push 150,000 more people into poverty.

Is this change?

Keir Starmer is rushing through a deal to save himself.

But Labour's disability cuts will push 150,000 people into poverty, according to their own figures.

MPs must vote against these appalling cuts today.

Scotland is not following this approach under @theSNP

For the Labour MPs who found some principle and joined the chorus of backlash against Labour's disability cuts, I’d urge you to hold firm.

This hasty deal will drive poverty, deny opportunity, and deepen inequality for sick and disabled people.
❌MPs must oppose it.

The digital tech drop-in at the Scottish Parliament brought together Scotland’s tech community to help keep policy informed and responsive.

Thanks to everyone who made it such an engaging day!

This is the effect of SNP policies like the Scottish Child Payment.

But 50,000 more children will be pushed into poverty by Labour's #WelfareCuts.

Write to your MP and urge them to oppose the Universal Credit and PIP Bill on Tuesday 1st July.

I asked the Scottish Government about the level of engagement it has had with North Lanarkshire Council on addressing antisocial behaviour involving the use of off-road vehicles in Motherwell and Wishaw.

SNP Government vows not to cut Adult Disability Payment after UK benefit changes Social Justice Secretary Shirley-Anne Somerville said the Scottish Government "will not let disabled people down or cast them aside".

While Labour cut PIP across the UK, we won’t let disabled people down here in Scotland.

We will not cut Scotland’s Adult Disability Payment - our equivalent of PIP.

Sick and disabled people moving to Universal Credit are being threatened with sanctions if they don't provide a GP fit note within 7 days, despite receiving ESA.

This is adding to the anxiety facing disabled people because of Labour's planned cuts

Labour must end the fear they are causing disabled constituents in #Motherwell and #Wishaw, and across the UK.

The Universal Credit and Personal Independence Payment Bill was published today.

Labour's appalling cuts to social security support will deepen inequality for sick and disabled people.

Importantly, due to SNP policy, PIP changes will not be mirrored in Scotland's Adult Disability Payment.

🇵🇸 What’s happening in Gaza is unacceptable and cannot continue.

Scotland doesn’t represent itself on the world stage - but where we do have the power, we’ll not shy away from being a voice for peace👇

The Scottish Languages Bill has been passed unanimously by the Scottish Parliament.

Labour campaigned against the two child cap in opposition. It's a key driver of child poverty.

🤷‍♂️ In power, they shrug their shoulders.

The Scottish National Party (SNP) will scrap it.

‼️The SNP will end the two child cap from 02 March 2026.

The two-child cap restricts support in universal credit to two children in a family. It is a key driver of child poverty.

⌛️Families cannot wait for Labour to find some principle. The SNP will act.

Labour can't even u-turn with purpose.

@snp.org is stepping in to protect winter fuel payment support for Scottish pensioners. But the UK Government should urgently clarify its plans and end the anxiety for pensioners across the UK.
