At the heart of #ScotBudget is SNP economic incompetence and moronic stupidity of the highest order….😕
🚨 What is the SNP-Green Government’s answer to addressing the Housing Emergency in Scotland ?
✂️ Cutting the Scottish Housing Budget by over 33% #ScotBudget
Shona Robison has basically erected a 'Closed for Business' sign across the Scottish border.
The SNP are taxing aspiration and hard work while hammering small businesses.
And, that's before we get to the pitiful funding for our councils.

Never mind the content, the delivery of this budget is utterly dreadful.
The Finance Secretary hasn’t looked up once from her pre written speech. Might as well have just published a written statement. #ScotBudget
🏴BREAKING: In her #ScotBudget speech, Finance Secretary Shona Robison MSP announces that all Scottish benefits will be uprated by 6.7% and the Scottish Child Payment will increase to £26.70.
After yesterday's #ScotBudget , Scots are now expected to pay more and get less.
It's that simple.
The SNP aren't raising taxes on the 'wealthy' to create better public services, instead, they're being slashed.
Yousaf, Robison, and the Greens are anti-jobs and anti-aspiration.
Conor Gillies 'warns' some Councils wanted to raise Council tax by 10% (although Councils haven't even started their budget talks yet. Amazing Mr Gillies seems to be inciting trouble rather than just reporting ScotGov is funding all councils by 5%
#ScotBudget
mutterings of 'I'm leaving' because you're very well paid &don't want to pay your part in the Scottish contract between the govt & people.
You pay, you get the best public services in UK
There are two sides to the coin and don't forget what you get for your coin. #ScotBudget
£220m funding for Active Travel in #ScotBudget for 2024/25.
Represents a £31m increase.
Growth in funding in past 5 years has been steady.
The UK's disastrous autumn budget makes today’s #ScotBudget much more difficult. We’ve done everything we can to make it work for people and planet. 👇🧵
That means a record £4.7 billion for climate and nature, woodland peatland restoration, waste reduction, renewables and more.
It's time to chart a new path this #ScotBudget
We've joined 60+ orgs to tell Humza Yousaf Patrick Harvie 🇪🇺🌈 Lorna Slater Anas Sarwar Douglas Ross MP MSP Alex Cole-Hamilton MSP🔶🇺🇦 that they must together use fair #Tax to invest in a better future for us all. #TimetoTax

The SNP-Green #ScotBudget slashes the housing budget by over £200 million.
This is a shameful and short-sighted decision.
We're facing a housing emergency in Glasgow and a huge spike in homelessness.
This will have devastating consequences on our most vulnerable citizens.
