We will stand up for carers!
Vote @scotlibdems for your constituency vote and your Edinburgh & Lothians East regional peach 🍑 vote.
Put health and social care at the top of the agenda. 🔶️🧡🔶️
Family carers are the backbone of support for thousands of Scots.
We will increase Carer Support Payment by £400 a year for unpaid carers.
We will give every young carer someone at school who they can turn to for help balancing learning, life and caring for their loved one.
🚨Polls are now open across Scotland🚨
Vote Scottish Liberal Democrat today to elect a hardworking local champion and with it that vision of change with fairness at its heart.
Liberal Democrats believe in empowering people: whether it’s carers who feel exhausted and unheard, families struggling to get support, or communities failed by water companies.
It’s why we’ll continue to stand up to Nigel Farage as he tries to import Trump-style politics here.
We need to ramp up our industrial base and get serious about Scotland’s defences.
The world has become a more dangerous place, but if handled correctly, this can be an opportunity for Scottish jobs and Scottish industry.
