The boss of BP described their energy business as a “cash machine”‘and Shell boss said it had been a “momentous” year for profits but both UK and Scottish government refuse to ask for some@of that profit to help households pay their increasing energy bills.
🚨 Water bills are set to rise by 4.2%
@jackiebmsp says “Enough is enough. The SNP have the powers to act but are choosing to do nothing.”

Blimey! Now this one doing the rounds of Tory WhatsApp groups. I am getting the feeling that the succession of Cabinet ministers being sent out to lie and distract is doing more harm than good for his cause.
Welcome to Twitter @colin_yorkston, our candidate for the Preston/Seton/Gosford ward by-election on 20 January.
Please give him a follow to keep in touch with our campaign over the next few weeks.
Thank you to our Chair, @CathyPeattie1, for a very successful #SLWC2021 and to @kayleighmqu for the smooth running, excellent venue and organisation 🌹@scottishlabour
We have key workers living in poverty. The strike has been about getting paid a decent wage, being able to pay the bills. Anyone claiming it’s about political games needs to take a look at themselves. Last year we clapped all key workers. Now it’s time to stand with them.
Anger at the bin strikes should be aimed at the out of touch @theSNP.
@AnasSarwar met with frontline workers fighting for fairer pay & better services at their invitation last Fri.
We applauded them throughout the pandemic & they need our support now.

This has been a totally needless distraction from @theSNP - a government that is happy to play political games with children's human rights.
🌹Scotland deserves better. #BuildingtheAlternative

A woman who was kidnapped and murdered simply shouldn’t have trusted and believed… a police officer. That really is top tier victim blaming.
Say it louder for those not paying attention: WOMEN ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR OWN ABUSE, RAPE OR MURDER.
🏴 In Scotland, we've got:
⏰ The worst A&E wait times on record
🚑 A worsening ambulance crisis
📈 600,000 on NHS waiting lists
❤️ Labour will lead a debate today, urging the SNP to accept our action plan to get the NHS on the move again.

❌ Despite the renationalisation of ScotRail, 100,000 train services are due to be cut.
❌ The would be devastating for workers and passengers.
🌹 Of all the parties in @ScotParl, only we joined rail unions today protesting these proposals outside the First Minister's residence
It’s a coalition of cuts where the SNP will hammer our public services and the Greens nod along.
Its about constitutional obsession, not the climate crisis.
That is why we’re building an alternative.

❌ No child should be growing up in poverty. Yet 260,000 kids in Scotland are.
🧒 We're calling on Scottish Government to double the Child Payment immediately and then double it again within the next year.
📉 With this one move, we can lift a third of children out if poverty.
A third of Scottish families with kids will lose more than £1,000 when the Universal Credit uplift is scrapped.
The Tories are inflicting untold damage as people try to recover from the pandemic. They must drop these plans.
