The Labour spin machine is out in force tonight to deny this.
That's the same Labour spin machine who briefed journalists weeks ago that this is indeed their strategy 👇
The Labour Party briefed the press they would do a deal with Nigel Farage’s Reform party to get into government in Scotland through the back door.
Reform have claimed this is true.
And now they’re saying Reform and the press are lying - and, somehow, it’s all the SNP’s fault 🧐
The thing is, what Offord said about Labour’s attempt to make a grubby deal with Reform isn’t even a new story. Sarwar’s own team was briefing the press about it weeks ago. They’ve been caught.
The SNP has protected NHS Scotland from both the austerity of the Tory Govt and the privatisation of both Tories and Labour.
Over 10% of the NHS in England is now privatised.
The SNP have kept privatisation to less than 1% in Scotland.
All while maintaining lower waiting lists, higher doctor to patient ratios, no charge prescriptions, no hospital parking charges, no charge personal social care
and more hospital beds.
All for about £100 a year extra in tax.
I think @theSNP have done well with limited powers.
🚨 Reform confirmed it on live TV tonight - Labour have already approached them about working together in Scotland!
To stop that nightmare scenario and maximise the number of pro-independence MSPs instead, vote @scottishgreens on your regional (peach) ballot paper 💚🗳️
@KirstieMAllsopp Your father, the 6th Baron Hindlip, inherited his peerage (hence you are the honourable Kirst Allsopp).
I would argue inheriting a hereditary peerage is definitely taking something you don't need.
I don't really think free bus travel for the over 65s is the issue.
In the Scottish capital, Labour Together were prolific. Tracy Gilbert in Edinburgh North + Chris Murray in Edinburgh East both received £10k. Murray also received £5k from Gary Lubner.
Additionally, Ian Murray in Edinburgh South received £10,070.37 support-in-kind from LT.
If you want to understand what racism, dehumanization, & double standards look like, I have seen more outraged tweets from British centrists & conservatives today over racist Israeli football hooligans being banned from a game in the UK than I ever did from these same people over the UK’s support for Israel’s killing of 70,000 Palestinian men, women, and children, and the total destruction of Gaza.
