What the SNP's tax regime means for you 👇

Under the SNP, anyone earning more than £28,867 in Scotland will pay more income tax than they would elsewhere in the UK.

That means less money in the pockets of thousands of middle-earning workers, like teachers and police officers.

This is a brilliant opportunity. Do you know anyone who'd love to do this👇

SBC (Scottish Borders Council) is encouraging residents to be election ready with valid photo ID ahead of the UK General Election dlvr.it/T5DKvv 🔗 Link below

This week the National Minimum Wage and National Living Wage increased, helping to put more money in the pockets of 200,000 workers in Scotland.

The National Living Wage will increase more than £1 an hour to £11.44.

It is 2024, I thought we'd be nearly finished fighting for our daughters by now. We should not be afraid to speak up and stand up.
I still stand with J K Rowling and her bravery, and the bravery of all those still speaking & standing up.

SARAH VINE: JK Rowling is an inspiration, an icon and a hero. And while she's been let down by the Harry Potter stars she helped make... the women of Britain are behind her trib.al/JJN2HEd

🚨Unfortunately, the funfair due at Victoria Park Peebles this week needs to move to Kingsmeadow Car Park. Residents will receive info later & I've asked alternative parking signage to be in place.
Anyone with issues can get in touch with me.

Verify the identity of cold callers before dealing with them.
Legitimate traders will expect you to challenge them and will be happy to wait while you check their ID.

Close the door and look up their company online or in the phone book. #ShutOutScammers

So proud to help lead the charge on this and to make sure young people's voices are heard.
