Mark Drakeford exposed the Tory UK Govt's sabotage of Scotland's deposit return scheme. Drakeford revealed the UK Govt had already accepted glass would be part of the Welsh DRS before demanding glass be excluded from Scotland's DRS at the eleventh hour.

“@UKLabour campaigned as the party of social justice and getting things done, yet their lack of progress on #WASPI compensation means ministers risk continuing the can-kicking of the Conservatives.”

In just three grim months, Keir Starmer and the Labour government….

▪️Removed the winter fuel allowance from millions of pensioners.
▪️Energy price cap going up by 10% in October.
▪️£11.6bn spaffed away on overseas climate aid.
▪️Gives Italy £4m to curb illegal immigration.
▪️Gives £220m+ to KPMG to train civil servants.
▪️Commits to giving Ukraine £3bn a year “for as long as it takes”.
▪️Plasters solar panels on prime UK farmland despite local community objections.
▪️ Closure of Scotland’s only oil refinery at Grangemouth (currently supplies 65% of Scotland's oil products) - and which will lead to around 400 job losses.
▪️Lobbies European countries to back Ukraine firing British made long range missiles into Russia.
▪️Starmer received £76,000 in clothes and sporting event freebies.
▪️Generally lecture the British public like they are naughty schoolchildren and completely fail to address the major concerns facing millions of people across the country.

None of the above was ever mentioned in the Labour general election manifesto. The British electorate was sold a pup. Instead, we have been on the receiving end of the politics of gross hypocrisy and misery.

Welsh absolutely right. Voting No at indyref1 was biggest mistake Scotland ever made. Better Together my arse! Could have been 10 years on as a flourishing indy nation. Instead we’re still a colony. Still stagnating & now being asset-stripped.#SNP https://t.co/07l0dRB0S1

🚨 A new poll by @OpiniumResearch has shown nearly 60% of Scots back a second independence referendum.

Anas Sarwar and Ian Murray have both already confirmed they support the decision to cut the winter fuel payment. BBC Scotland refuses to challenge either of them on the issue. They are, without a shadow of a doubt, being protected.

Here’s Labour MP Ellie Reeves uncomfortably trying to defend the indefensible of cronyism.

Keir Starmer promised to ‘clean up politics’. Instead it’s a new government, but the same old cronyism.

[MSM Monitor @msm_monitor]

The false claim that the Scottish Govt has been overspending - something it is legally prevented from doing - was repeated by Laura Maxwell on Tuesday.

This is the very definition of disinformation. Deliberately spreading false information. This isn't social media. It's BBC Scotland.
