On the day Nicola Sturgeon announces £500 NHS thank you payment for all staff, my brother was telling his staff they will be out of a job come 24th Dec as he's closing his restaurant for good.
@KemiBadenoch@HeleneG46816352 Tell the truth. Are these increases due to your triple lock and legacy benefits recipients being moved over to universal credit?
@Steven_Swinford Ask Kemi about the triple lock her party implemented and also ask kemi about the legacy benefits being moved to Universal Credit, a system that her party implemented. Ask kemi why she's being disingenuous about the figures she quotes.
Who said, " you cant hide money" was spot on. The number of people involved in logging expenses, signing off expenses, auditing accounts receiving packages, etc. must have had some idea something was amiss.

The only time we see Sturgeon stuttering is when it comes to the accounts, she looked scared that @bbclaurak had something up her sleeve. Could there still be more to learn in these accounts?
Every single person on the NEC and the finance and the audit committee have questions to answer. No point coming out now and bleating about it. Heads should role and victims should be pursuing the assets of Murrell and joint assets with Sturgeon.
DWP generously extends PIP reassessments — unless you’re under 24, because obviously young disabled people aren’t worth the trouble.

Newly elected Labour Edinburgh MSP called for Israel’s ‘crushing defeat’ months after Oct 7
Irshad Ahmed made comments at a Pakistani cultural centre in Jan 2024
Sarwar now under pressure to sanction him, but removing whip would put Reform into opposition
Andy Burnham's Centre for Social Justice wants to remove PIP & LCWRA from 1.1m claimants - those currently assessed as too ill or disabled to work
But simultaneously only expects 10% (110,000) to move into work
So enforced poverty on ~1 million chronically ill & disabled people
