1. A vote for independence in 2014 would’ve taken Scotland out of the EU.
2. SNP failed to back a customs union when they had the chance.
3. SNP spent more on a by-election than the EU referendum.
Spare us the faux outrage. The SNP’s record on the EU is hardly gleaming.

They're all Brexiteers now...

Implying that Scotland is a colony is an insult to those who suffered at the hands of the British Empire.
Scotland was not an innocent by-stander here; it was significantly involved and reaped the rewards.

Well well, if you’re Scottish here’s how much the SNP care about the EU.
1. They supported a yes vote in 2014, which would’ve taken us out of the EU.
2. They failed to back the customs union when they had the chance.
3. They spent more on a by-election than their EU campaign.
Well we’ll, if your a young person here is what Labour offer you. 1. No chance of rejoining the European Union. 2. No free movement. 3. No right to live, work and love across the EU. 4. No Erasmus. Labour is now a hard

In 2012, Sturgeon promised a Scottish Oyster Card.
Ten years later, Scotland is still waiting. What has been the hold up?
The SNP’s proclivity for broken promises in full view for all to see once again.
If you need to catch a train, and then a bus, and then maybe another bus to get to your destination, you shouldn't have to buy 3 separate tickets.
We need a fully integrated, publicly-owned, efficient transport system - starting in local authorities, and then across Scotland.

If you’re in any way socialist, progressive, or left-wing, you’d surely support the redistribution of wealth across communities in Britain as a result of the windfall tax.
Nationalism by its very nature thrives on division and othering. We can and must do better than this.
“It feels very unfair that Scotland is having to pay for the entirety of the UK”
SNP’s Kirsty Blackman says 90% of the money raised by the energy profits levy will come from oil and gas “income made in Scotland”

Margaret Ferrier broke the rules while her constituents followed them.
She showed absolute contempt for those whom she was elected to represent and refused to resign despite her wrongdoing.
Rutherglen and Hamilton West deserves better.
A by-election can’t come soon enough.

The SNP are the architects of austerity in Scotland.
In 2007, they promised to scrap the council tax. Now, they want to increase it by an eye-watering margin in the middle of a cost of living crisis.

@mgshanks
will fight for fair funding for South Lanarkshire.
Years of SNP cuts have left services in South Lanarkshire at breaking point - and now the government want to hike Council Tax to plug the gaps.
We can't keep paying the price of SNP failure, and our communities deserve better.

Margaret Ferrier should have done the decent thing and resigned long ago.
Instead, she is clinging on by her fingernails and showing contempt for her constituents.
The people of Rutherglen & Hamilton West deserve better. It’s time for a by-election and real representation.
Margaret Ferrier is appealing against the Commons recommendation that she should be suspended for 30 days - which would trigger a recall petition and her likely sacking.
So any Rutherglen by-election has been pushed back even further.

There’s a long way to go, but clearly more Scots are turning to Labour as an alternative to the SNP and Tories.🌹

When he was young, Sunak boasted that he didn’t know a single working class person.
As an MP, he boasted about taking public money from deprived areas and giving to affluent areas.
He is divorced from reality.

Imagine the FM used everything within her power to tackle:
- Child poverty.
- NHS waiting times.
- The drug deaths crisis.
- The attainment gap.
- The climate emergency.
- The lack of adequate mental health support for our young people.
How much better would Scotland fare then?

When Labour is in power, we improve lives.
That’s exactly what our new deal for workers will do.
One key aspect of this is banning zero hour contracts.
The Scottish Government counts these as ‘positive destinations’ for school leavers.
Scotland deserves better.

A new deal for workers.
The biggest expansion of workers’ rights in a generation.
No more zero hours contracts.
No more fire and rehire.
Employment rights from day one.
Union rights to access the workplace.
New fair pay agreements.
