Graeme Dey MSP

🔥 Even Labour insiders admit Downing Street treats Scotland as an afterthought.

🔍 Starmer’s team keep landing blows on their own leader while ignoring what matters here.

👉 The SNP will always put Scotland first — Labour never will.

✂️ Anas refuses to lobby party colleagues down south not to raise income tax and slash Scotland's budget by over £1bn.

🥀 While the SNP stand up for Scotland, Sarwar nods along with Westminster.

🥀 Labour promised to Make Brexit Work — now they admit it’s made Britain poorer.

💷 Reeves is planning tax hikes and spending cuts to fill the Brexit black hole.

💛 Scotland shouldn’t pay the price for Westminster’s mess — we need independence.

Graeme’s Column Politics is a dirty business. But there are some lines which should never be crossed. Weaponising child abuse is one

You may have seen false Tory claims that MSPs “voted against a grooming gangs inquiry”.

There's twisting truth, & then there's dragging politics into the gutter. Using “grooming gangs” as a dog-whistle & child abuse as a political football crosses a line.

👂 Will he listen?

✂️ Will he follow the SNP’s lead and scrap the cruel two-child cap?

🥀 Or will Labour leave a generation of kids trapped in poverty?

📊 A new poll shows Scotland would choose independence if asked tomorrow.

🚨 Westminster’s chaos is pushing more people towards Yes.

📈 The momentum for a fairer, independent Scotland is growing stronger every day.

❌ Starmer's first year: Cuts, betrayal, silence. Scotland deserves better.

🤥 Anas Sarwar promised to "stand up to Keir Starmer".

🔍 At every turn, he falls into line behind his bosses in London.

🥀 A follower, not a leader - he just can't stand up for Scotland.

⏬ While Anas Sarwar backs Starmer's cuts to disability support, the SNP is protecting people with disabilities in Scotland.

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴 Scotland can do better than Labour failure - with independence.

🚨 Anas Sarwar backs £5 BILLION in disability cuts - even as 1 in 3 Scottish Labour MPs rebel.

🥀 Labour’s “reform” means slashing support for disabled people who can’t work.

💛 In Scotland, the SNP are delivering social security with dignity, fairness and respect.

✅ We are acting to lift people out of poverty.

📅 From March next year, we will scrap Labour's two-child benefit cap - lifting 20,000 children out of poverty.

💛 The SNP is delivering progress for Scotland.

❌ Westminster has failed Scotland for too long.

💛 It's time to chart our own course and improve lives across our country.

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 We have the resources and the talent to be a successful independent nation - so let's build a more prosperous Scotland together.

🔍 93% of Scottish school leavers went on to positive destinations in 2023/24.
