The impact of Westminster welfare
reforms on child poverty in Scotland:
what can be done about it?
The UK government's benefit cap, two child limit and young parent penalty all undermine Scotland's national child poverty mission.

Very good meeting at #SNP22, a lot of work is happening towards a fairer Scotland
RT @OPFS: " A minimum income guarantee would help people live with dignity." That's why @opfs supports and is contributing to the Scottish Government's work towards a Scottish MIG.#SNP22

The economic crisis put upon us is affecting us all.
The incompetence of this UK government has no bounds.

@JohnFerry18 Legault is a right wing populist, Quebec is not immune from populism it seems. Another warning from across the pond.

@LBC @mrjamesob Yesterday Primary 7 locally celebrated Black History Month. They’ve learned about the legacy of Dr Martin Luther King Jr, and recited his famous ‘I Have a Dream’ speech to the class!
For their taught writing they will be creating a biography on Rosa Parks. #Blackhistorymonth2022

If not Independence then this?
RT @jonsopel: For 4 years when I was US Editor I went to endless Trump rallies where we’d be accused of being ‘enemies of the people’ - the ‘we’ were the media, but also ‘liberals’, civil servants, environmentalists, the swamp, the think tanks.
All felt a bit familiar in B’ham today

@RangersJim @simon_telegraph @Telegraph @trussliz I have my responsibility in all this. I should have told folk not to laugh at Johnson in 2014.
Cameron didn’t let me vote but I campaigned as much as I could in 2016.
Scotland voted to remain in the UK then voted to remain in the EU.
If not Independence then what?

@RangersJim @simon_telegraph @Telegraph @trussliz It had a huge bearing on some people, people like me.
In 2014, when I stated at a public meeting that Scotland was on a verge to leave the EU against its will, people didn’t believe me. When I said Johnson could be the Prime Minister, people laughed. They are not laughing now.

@RangersJim @simon_telegraph @Telegraph @trussliz I respect democracy, I always did, why do you want less?
Staying in the EU was a big argument in 2014, you know it was.
