Massive thanks to @monicalennon.bsky.social and other @scottishlabour.bsky.social MSPs for joining us and Govan Law Centre at our fringe event on Child Poverty and the Public Debt Crisis at #ScotLab25 last weekend. A clear resolve for doing debt recovery differently to help end child poverty.

It was great to chat to Jackie Baillie at last weekend's #ScotLab25 about our Mother and Child Recovery Houses and how we best support women and their children during their recovery and keeping families together. And thanks for supporting our #EndSchoolMealDebt campaign.

Good God why is it so hard for some people to understand that the absence of legal routes to sanctuary encourages people trafficking and ‘small boats’???

In line with the Promise our goal is to keep children safe, loved and with their families whenever we can. Our Mother and Child Recovery houses provide nurturing and loving spaces for women and their babies during their recovery journey. #KeepThePromise

An absolute privilege to listen to Gordon Brown speak about child poverty today at the Gathering. Sharing learning, ideas and hope for what could happen if a national mission on poverty brought UK government, Scottish Government, business and the essential 3rd sector to look at solutions.

Eradicating child poverty is my government’s number one priority, and I want to unite all of Scotland behind that aim. Earlier today I hosted a roundtable at Bute House with partners, discussing the specific measures to achieve our shared goal.

4.3 million children are in poverty UK govt won’t see progress on child poverty by 2029 even with high economic growth 📢 Our analysis shows under our central scenario only Scotland will see child poverty rates fall by 2029 in part due to social security policies 1/5

Today’s @jrf-uk.bsky.social report shows the need for both UK & Scot Govs to work together to #EndChildPoverty. Economic growth won’t achieve that without targeted policies to lift families out of poverty. We're making progress in Scotland but there is so much more we must do.

I was very glad to have been able to attend @aberlourcharity.bsky.social's roundtable on tackling the public debt crisis in Westminster this week. As the Government develops its child poverty strategy it's vital that nonsensical school meal debt is taken out of the equation #EndSchoolMealDebt
