Two years ago, Labour opposed the Internal Market Act - which is nothing short of an undemocratic power grab from Westminster. Today, Labour have just voted together with the Tories against protecting the powers of our Parliament. Only the SNP will stand up for Scotland. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Deputy FM Kate Forbes on #bbcqt: “Labour promised energy bills would go down by £300 - instead, bills have been hiked twice. We can do things differently in Scotland when we have power in the hands of the people.”

The Scottish Parliament has just voted to pass the SNP Government's budget at stage one. Our budget includes a record £21 billion for the NHS and scraps Labour's two-child cap. The only parties not to vote for these policies were Labour and the Tories.

📢 A new report shows Scotland will be the only part of the UK where child poverty falls over the next four years. If the UK followed our lead, 800,000 fewer children would be in poverty. Action, not excuses, delivers results. Westminster must step up.

Labour stood up for WASPI women - right until they got into government. Now they’re nowhere to be seen. The SNP have supported these women throughout, and that’s why we’ve put a Bill before Westminster calling for them to be compensated for this historic injustice.
