News from civil servants preparing Liz Kendall's pensions review.
Kendall wants to look at "phasing in" the pension starting with 25% of a pension at age 68 and getting 100% of the pension at age 72.
This will be represented as not affecting the triple lock.
It's already the worst pension in Europe.

To save an English oil refinery so that it can replace a Scottish oil refinery to refine oil almost entirely from Scottish waters, the Scottish taxpayer must also contribute around £100m talkingupscotlandtwo.com/202…

BREAKING: A report by Big Issue shows that, under the SNP, 21,000 fewer kids are living in poverty compared to 2017 - a 12% decrease.
Compare that to England & Wales - 320,000 more kids in poverty - a 15% increase.
We’re standing up for Scotland’s children.
ALT In England and Wales 320,000 more kids in poverty. In Scotland 21,000 fewer kids in poverty.

Under Netanyahu, Israel has become a rogue state.
Headed by a man wanted for war crimes that has killed thousands with impunity and now seeks to destabilise the entire region.
Enough of the weak statements. Israel is completely out of control, meaningful sanctions are required.

🚨 The Fraser of Allander Institute has stepped in to expose Labour’s accounting con.
💷 Capital budgets fall every year after 2026, hitting Scotland’s future investment hard.
🏴 Scotland deserves long-term certainty, not a Westminster rollercoaster.

It’s deplorable & shocking that the price of being in the Union of the United Kingdom,is that the lives of the people of Scotland are expendable
This is not an equal partnership then. Scottish lives are worth less than English lives
Our lives depend on #Independence @theSNP
Today, @covidinquiryuk heard that the government instructed PPE suppliers to prioritise English NHS settings over Scotland.
Just as shocking, the government withdrew embassy support from Scottish government officials negotiating PPE deals in foreign countries.
Fantastic! Congratulations ladies 🎉

On Friday, Trump used "emergency authority" to send $4 billion of military aid to Israel, including 2000 pound bombs. Two days later, Israel cut off all food and medicine to Gaza. Feel good about how your tax dollars are being used?

I sent this text and took part:
“It is time for a change, real change, an Independent Scotland rejoining the European Union.
Labour has proved that we won't get any change from Westminster, ever and in every meaning of the term change.
To get this real change, I'll be voting SNP.

Every Labour politician who said they supported the WASPI Women should resign tonight: xitter.cf/LornaMuir10/status/186… Of course they won't for none of them has an ounce of morality or a backbone between them. Traitors one & all!
And @jackiebmsp, @AnasSarwar, @IanMurrayMP, @NeilBibby, @JohannaBaxter, etc.etc. All quick enough to shout at the Tories to compensate WASPI women, abolish the 2 child cap, keep the Winter Fuel Allowance when in opposition, and to get elected. None of it will be forgotten.

💥 ZERO - that's how many Scottish Labour MPs turned up for this afternoon's vital debate on Scotland's Energy Future.
👎 Totally taking voters for granted - classic Labour.

The branch office manager, Anas Sarwar, is now telling people to vote in Labour MSPs to mitigate Labour MPs' decisions. Does he think people in Glasgow are daft?

This is the "change" brought to you by @ScottishLabour
When prices spike due to young Scottish farmers giving up, remember John.
