💬 "This is a budget that invests in Dundee," says @theSNP Council leader @MarkFlynnSNP
🧹 Investing more in street cleaning
🏛️ Support for the city's heritage sites
🍲 Freezing the cost of school meals
🏰 Keeping Broughty Castle open
💷 Cost-of-living support for people
ALT This is a budget that invests in Dundee. The SNP’s budget keeps Broughty Castle open, freezes the cost of school meals, helps people with the cost-of-living, and delivers £100,000 to support Discovery Point and Verdant Works.

In 1787 Robert Burns visited Dundee, nearly 100 years before it became Scotland's 1st official city. Today, a statue in his honour stands just outside McManus Galleries.
This Burns Night, make your own trip and enjoy everything Dundee has to offer (just like Scotland's Bard).

They say you should give a precious stone as a #Christmas gift. But diamonds, rubies, sapphires & emeralds pale into insignificance compared to #Scotland 's Stone of Destiny - a perfect gift this Christmas. Especially combined with a visit to @PerthMuseumUK.

💬 @ShonaRobison: "I came into politics to tackle child poverty"
While Labour sit on their hands, @theSNP will rid Scotland of one of the worst policies to be imposed on us by Westminster.
Surely Labour can't vote against @theSNP's budget that will lift children out of poverty?

🚨 The difference could not be clearer:
🥀 Labour: BACKING Westminster's two-child cap
🏴 SNP: SCRAPPING Westminster's two child cap
🧒 Around 3,000 children in Dundee will benefit from @theSNP acting while Labour shamefully sit on their hands.

Scotland’s media so needs this. I for one totally support it. Get behind it any way you can. A simple RT would be a great start - 👇Further calls to Culture Secretary for a public interest journalism institute - The Edinburgh Reporter theedinburghreporter.co.uk/2…
