๐ข Labour promised the WASPI women they would help deliver justice.
๐ฅ Now they've entered government, they turned their back on them and have refused to deliver justice.
๐ค The SNP will continue to fight and campaign for the WASPI women to receive the justice they deserve.

Shona Robison: โWhile the UK Gov't has frozen all income tax thresholds, in Scotland, the basic and intermediate rate thresholds will increase this year by 3.5%.
This means the majority of taxpayers in Scotland will continue to pay less income tax than in the rest of the UK.โ

๐ฅ As soon as they got into government, Labour decided to cut the Winter Fuel Payment.
๐ด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ณ๓ ฃ๓ ด๓ ฟ We donโt think thatโs right - so weโve introduced a universal Winter Heating Payment for 900,000 Scots pensioners.
It wasn't to be this time but I am so incredibly grateful to all the activists who came out to campaign for @theSNP no matter the weather.
Thanks so much to my amazing election agent @GavinSNP who has been absolutely fantastic during this campaign.
Onwards and upwards! ๐
