It looks like someone at the Scotland Office told BBC Scotland early this morning that Labour will only hand back £300m of the £500m lost to Scotland's public sector because of the NI hike. The broadcaster started spinning the info before the Scottish Govt even knew about it.
Handing leaks like this to friendly media outlets for them to spin on your behalf is nothing new. The thing is that BBC Scotland shouldn't be used in this manner. It's supposed to be an impartial public service.
Anas Sarwar “Vote for me and I’ll protect you from the rocks Labour is throwing at Scotland.”
Maybe just get Starmer to stop throwing them Anas. Better still. Independence gives us an impenetrable shield.
🧾 The UK’s budget bill cannot be balanced on the backs of Scotland’s charities.
🥀 Labour’s latest scheme will hit vital services & charities. It’s time for the Chancellor to come clean about the plot to hike National Insurance.

Israeli politician Ayman Odeh is dragged out of the Knesset for his speech railing against Benjamin Netanyahu's destruction of Gaza.
Anas Sarwar U-turns as Scottish Labour pledge Winter Fuel Payment
Tell us where you would get the money from Sarwar ?
What cuts would you make elsewhere to Fund it?
You just can’t Trust Sarwar or Unionist Labour to keep their word

@BBCScotlandNews Having voted against it and openly confirmed that he supported this cruel cut.
If you were real journalists you would be calling him out for his rank hypocrisy of freezing Scottish pensioners to death in order to win some votes from the gullible in 2026!
🥀 Anas Sarwar promising a thing in two years time, based on household support fund consequentials (which may not exist by 2026), while pensioners in Scotland freeze to death *here and now* as the result of decisions made by his Labour Government colleagues in London. Guff.
@MrAJMALSays@GlobeEyeNews We have never been closer to many Scots fears. Faslane is just miles from Scotlands largest and most populated city. Heres hoping Russia realise we want feck all to do with NATOs proxy #CND#BritsOut
He voted for it. Are you trying to make this fact go away? It won’t work. As the temperatures fall in Scotland & pensioners are afraid of putting on the heating, it’s a bit late for this utterly insincere, totally useless garbage from him and your newspaper.
NEW: Anas Sarwar has been slammed as a 'chancer' after pledging to bring back a Winter Fuel Payment should Scottish Labour win the next Holyrood election
🗣️ 'No one will take this pathetic little ruse seriously'
David Lammy addresses the UN on Gaza 🇵🇸 condemning the killing of aid workers and children.
Lammy seeks to redefine genocide, embraces Netanyahu & is part of a government selling weapons to Israel 🇮🇱
He claims the UK 🇬🇧 will not stop in seeking peace.
Breathtaking arrogance.
