The Chancellor’s statement today is deeply concerning but not at all surprising. I warned throughout the election of the pressures in the public finances. (1/2)

The Chancellor's decision to means-test the Winter Fuel Payment will come as a blow to many pensioners in Scotland struggling on low incomes. Our helpline can carry out a free benefits check to make sure you're getting all the support you are entitled to. ☎️ 0800 12 44 222

The Scottish Labour position was previously “The most vulnerable people in society should not have to prove they need support” - what has changed?

This is important advice. The scenes of violence in some communities in other parts of the U.K. will cause anxiety here. It is the role of Police Scotland to make sure everyone here is safe and - as importantly - feels safe. 👇

First Minister John Swinney expressed his solidarity following violent scenes in parts of the UK. With Justice Secretary Angela Constance, he visited the Edinburgh Central Mosque to meet Imam Habib Rauf, members of Scottish Refugee Council 🧡 and @muslimscot, and the wider Muslim community.

This is grim news for my constituents who already suffer some of the highest levels of fuel poverty in the U.K. It’s a hammer blow for the elderly after Labour chose to means test the winter fuel payment. Tory Austerity continued by Labour - harms the most vulnerable.

Throughout the election I warned about the huge financial pressure in public services and called for significant new investment from the U.K. Government. I was told there would be no austerity under Labour. Well here it is. Scotland will be affected by UK decisions.

I demanded an end to austerity during the election but it continues under Labour. Shona Robison MSP set out the steps Scottish Government must take to deal with inflation and other budget pressures. We will act to protect people’s priorities and will balance the budget as we always have.
