🚌 Thousands of parents and young people have spoken out against school bus cuts.
🟡 Our @theSNP group have been 100% behind them, while the Labour Administration remained silent.
❌ A decision was due before the election – it's been postponed until after it.

Labour heaping praise on Thatcher is a demonstration of how little they care about Scotland.
Communities right across Scotland still bear the scars of Thatcher's economic policies.
Only SNP MPs will stand up for Scotland and fight against policies that damage our country.
#WorldBookDay - poster from a protest I was at today. Our ward's set to lose 3 closest libraries - Halfway, Cambuslang and Blantyre.
Complete lack of info from Administration so far on nature of "alternative services" - I've written to Council Leader today for some clarity.
We are bitterly disappointed at the announcement that SLLC are set to withdraw from 37 community halls and 7 libraries.
These cuts will have a devastating impact on communities.
Don’t believe the Labour spin 👇
🧵(1/9)
🥀 Labour promised they would prioritise areas such as Education and Social Work
Yet their budget took
✂️ 9 out of 12 proposed Education cuts
✂️ All 4 Social Work cuts
The SNP budget took none
@KatyLoudonSNP calls them out 👇

The House of Commons reduces itself to farce because even on an issue as serious as the situation in Gaza, the Westminster establishment can’t bring itself to rise above hostility to the SNP.
Proud of my @theSNP colleagues but deeply depressed by the state of UK ‘democracy’. #CeasefireNOW
🏘️ At the same Executive meeting, the Labour Leader decided to defer an item on Council Tax for 2nd home owners.
🥀 Labour working hard on the cost of living, as ever.
🏊♂️ The Activage Leisure & Culture pass for those age 60+ will now skyrocket to £120.
🟡 SNP Cllrs tried to defer this until the South Lanarkshire Leisure & Culture budget is confirmed.
🌹🔶The Labour-Lib Dem controlled Exec Committee went ahead with the rise, with Tory support.
The SNP’s motion for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza and Israel will be debated and voted on in Westminster on Wednesday.
The UK Parliament cannot just sit on its hands and do nothing. Rishi Sunak and Sir Keir Starmer must back an immediate ceasefire now. #CeasefireNow
Got my steps in nice and early this morning with one of the @RutherglenSNP teams out delivering hundreds of Independence themed leaflets around #Cambuslang#ActiveSNP#VoteSNP
In light of the ruling from the ICJ we submitted another emergency motion on the crisis in Gaza to today’s Full Council meeting.
It has been rejected again by the Provost, a leading member of the Labour-led administration.
