Now Anas Sarwar says he will “reinstate” the winter fuel payments. Yet here is Anas Sarwar just last month voting AGAINST reversing the winter fuel cuts! This is simply another lie from Sarwar and Labour trying to bribe voters for the future Scottish election after their ratings have dropped.

🌹 During the election, Labour promised to cut energy bills by £300. 🥀 Bills are now forecast to rise in January by £168 on average, since Labour got in. 💷 A £468 cut is now required to meet that promise.

Love this 😀

🏘️ We're bringing forward legislation to enhance tenants’ rights through measures such as rent controls. 📢 Scottish Labour backed this in committees but in the chamber they voted against rent controls. ❓ Labour must tell renters are they for or against rent controls.
