Benefit sanctions aren't just cruel - they don't work. The UK Government knows this but has decided to inflict double punishment on people by denying critical cost-of-living payments.
Watch this Tory Minister try to defend the indefensible. 👇🏻 https://t.co/mLpF75gQMI

Some of the very people employed by the DWP to administer benefits are having to turn to food banks because of poverty pay.
Yet when it comes to public sector pay, you can't tell Tory and Labour policy apart.
The key workers we clapped during the pandemic deserve better. https://t.co/8bRnVVOIVR

A wealthy Prime Minister, who flies about in a private helicopter, telling public sector workers they can’t have a pay rise is, errr, a bold move.
Good luck with landing that message with the electorate… 🚁 https://t.co/18SJ5s9KXS

📈 According to the London School of Economics, Brexit is responsible for a third of UK food price inflation.
🫣 Nowhere for the Tories or pro-Brexit Labour to hide - Brexit is compounding the cost-of-living crisis.

Glad to see the Sleeper now under public ownership, thanks to @theSNP Scottish Government. ✊
A good example of Scotland having the powers and doing things differently from rUK. Just imagine what more we could do with independence!

A compassionate First Minister and one who genuinely cares for all. Leadership is listening, showing compassion and responding appropriately. Absolutely spot on there. And a mark of how Humza has approached his time as First Minister. Can you imagine Sunak or Starmer doing that?

🇬🇧 Both the Tories and the pro-Brexit Labour Party are trashing the UK economy and shafting mortgage holders and first-time buyers.
🏴 Families in Scotland didn't vote for any of this - they shouldn't have to foot the bill for Westminster failure and Brexit obsession. https://t.co/9YCVDMhERY

The British Government must urgently provide help for homeowners and renters at risk of losing their homes, or falling into unmanageable debt, through no fault of their own.
Families shouldn't have to foot the bill for Westminster failure. https://t.co/wisDEc6DCl

The cost of living crisis and a crumbling welfare system are making it harder for disabled households to meet the extra cost of disability, which @scope found to be £975 per month on average.
They're absolutely right - the Tories £150 disability payment is simply not enough. https://t.co/BmyjFgBhhW

All that #indyref hyperbole and hubris from the British Government on pensions was just that. With independence, Scotland can be the best place to grow old. The threat to pensioners comes from this crumbling union. https://t.co/8gB8evrJI2

Boris Johnson has been found out and shouldn't benefit from his own deceit and duplicity. The British Government should:
🗑️ Scrap his honours list
💷 Make him pay back his legal costs
❌ Stop his £115,000 ex-PM allowance

Westminster is failing the people of Scotland by mismanaging the cost of living crisis and inflicting upon us the disastrous Brexit.
These crises should be handled in Edinburgh by a government the people of Scotland elected. https://t.co/zXDZtqBaoo

Back in 2002, as Tory Leader, Iain Duncan Smith came to #Easterhouse to learn more about poverty. He went on to become Work & Pensions Secretary for 6 years and was the architect of Universal Credit. Today I asked him what people in our community would make of that now… https://t.co/zl4bfpAcRz

Westminster's child poverty record is shameful but both the Tories and Labour refuse to agree to this action:
🏴 Copy @scotgov's game-changing £25 Scottish Child Payment
🚮 Bin the Benefit Cap
👩👧👧 Scrap the Two-Child Limit and Rape Clause
✋ Stop Benefit Sanctions https://t.co/MLKi8m3cTf

A very wise appointment in @KevinJPringle becoming FM’s official spox. Genuinely chuffed to see this. Few people in Scottish politics have Kevin’s immense experience and political antenna. Shrewd move.

😡 We aren't just in a cost-of-living crisis, but a cost of greed crisis.
🤔 Why isn't Westminster taking tough action to lower prices, investigate price gouging practices, and stop inflation being used as an excuse for profiteering?

🛒 While other countries take action on food prices, Westminster is doing nothing to tackle the impact of inflation at the supermarket checkout.
🇬🇧With higher food costs, energy bills, and mortgage payments, Scotland can't afford the cost of the Union.

📺 Appeared on @BBCPolitics today to discuss the cost of living crisis & action to tackle soaring food prices.
The French Gov’t has a deal with the country’s major retailers to place a price cap on staple food products.
So, why is Brexit Britain asleep at the wheel? https://t.co/N3ok71aVLO

Starmer and Sunak fighting it out on who is toughest on bashing migrants.
It’s like watching two bald men fighting over a comb. Pathetic, out of touch and deeply irresponsible. 🤦🏻♂️

🏴 We need independence to protect workers from Westminster governments they didn’t elect.
