@57FK66 @Blazespage @EvelynTweedSNP @Ianblackford_MP We wrote to the UK Gov on this a few weeks ago and received a non-response which we're challenging. Very poor to delay until autumn when rural users as you say need answers now.
🛢 Consider a further windfall tax on energy companies

I’m backing SNP calls for urgent action on the cost of living crisis:
⏮ Reverse Universal Credit cuts
⏫ Uprate social security payments
❌ Reduce or remove fuel VAT
🛡 Create a fuel duty regulator
🔎 Investigate company competition

Really good to see around the new @ChangeGrowLive Forth Valley premises on Goosecroft Road, Stirling. Norma and the team are doing a power of work to support vulnerable members of our community.
The UK Passport Office continues to let down my Stirling constituents, with delays, cancellations and confusion.
It's a basic function of Government, and yet the backlogs still haven't been tackled and the situation still remains unacceptable.

RT @CentralFMNews: Parliament should be recalled to tackle the cost of living crisis.
That's the message from a local MP @AlynSmith
Experts think the energy price cap will rise to around £4,200 in January.
@Stirlingcouk @LorenaShaw @MartinSLewis @CornwallInsight Parliament needs to get back to work straight away, to hold this zombie government to account and push for action.

I'm supporting urgent calls for the UK Parliament to be recalled immediately, and for action to be taken as soon as possible to help struggling households in this cost of living crisis.
