🚨 BREAKING: Official polling shows it's neck and neck in Paisley. We can do it if you #BackBibby.

Nothing will change for the better if the SNP get back in.

This is your chance to bring change to Paisley by voting for me as your @ScottishLabour candidate.

@donald_i So much snow! Are you going to build a snowman? Take the opportunity?

[Neil Bibby @NeilBibby]

Yes, thanks to the @scottishlabour led government which introduced free eye tests in Scotland in 2006. 👀👀

31 out of 32 local authorities in Scotland have been allocated less cash for social housing this year compared to 2022.

This is *despite* the SNP Government reversing the £196m cut to the affordable housing budget.

Given the state of Scotland’s education system - it’s surely not too much to ask Jenny Gilruth to do her job and turn up in Parliament for education questions.

Scotland’s children should be her priority, not her party’s interests.

Scot Lab's Neil Bibby MSP raising a Point of Order in Holyrood about the absence of Ed Sec Jenny Gilruth last Thursday at education questions - says that no justifiable reason has been given for "skipping", and alleges there may have been "party interests put above parliament",

Here's the Education Secretary, the same afternoon she failed to show up to parliament's education portfolio questions (the first session for 5 weeks). Would be interesting to hear why this was more important than addressing issues like violence in schools https://t.co/fPOCEhYJXl

Scrapping peak fares on ScotRail led to 10 million more journeys. “The 10.6 million extra journeys during that year shows that removing peak rail fares works in the long term.” https://t.co/UEXJhhixAH

This report flags up that despite child poverty being a Scottish Government priority, it has yet to present a comprehensive plan to meet its statutory target of reducing child poverty to 10% by 2030/31 and is “a long way” from meeting that target.

All higher in Scotland than pre-pandemic: food insecurity, homelessness, fuel poverty, proportion of young people not in work, education or training and more people in relative poverty.

This report flags up the lack of evidence that Scot Gov policy is making any improvements.
