The SNP budget delivers on the people’s priorities:

🏥 Record NHS funding
🥀 Ending the 2-child cap
🔥 Restoring Winter Fuel Payment
💷 Majority of Scots pay less tax than rUK
🏡 £768m for 8k affordable homes

If other parties back these policies - they must back this budget.

The 3rd December is International Day of People with Disabilities.

This is a day to celebrate diversity, learn about disabled experiences, and look optimistically to a future where disabled people are valued.

[SNP Disabled Members Group @SNP_dmg]

We therefore invite everyone across Scotland to both celebrate the progress we have made, and learn what additional progress we need to ensure full equality and participation of disabled people in politics and wider society.

Everyone at the DMG wishes all of our followers and fellow party members a very happy St Andrews Day

We are saddened to hear the news about Janey Godley passing away our thoughts and condolences are with her family and friends right now. R.I.P. Janey.

[Janey Godley @JaneyGodley]

Earlier this morning Janey passed away in her sleep. Her family were with her.
The love and support from all her friends and fans during this cancer journey brought her enormous joy. It has also been a huge comfort to us, her family and close friends, thank you.

The DMG extends our condolences to Alex’s family and friends

[The SNP @theSNP]

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Alex Salmond, former leader of the SNP and First Minister of Scotland, has died. His leadership brought the SNP into the mainstream and the Scottish Government. He was a titan of the independence movement. Our thoughts are with Moira and his family.
