Changes to the social security system should not leave anyone in poverty.

Withdrawing disability or sickness payments will be devastating for people and is the type of politics that Keir Starmer put forward.

We should be lifting people out of poverty, not putting them in it.

Shame the 11 SNP MP’s voted with the Tories in 1979 to bring down the Labour Government and set the wheels in motion for Margaret Thatcher to become Prime Minister to deny Scotland a wealth fund and destroy working class communities.

SNP's @GrahamSNP says Scotland could have benefitted from a £1trn wealth fund if oil and gas revenues had been invested under Margaret Thatcher

PM says the UK National Wealth Fund has today announced £1bn towards offshore wind east of Scotland #PMQs

The “Birmingham situation” is workers being told to accept thousands £s less in their pay packet.

If Glasgow, or any council ends up in that situation then it is definitely not the fault of trade unions.

It’s the fault of different governments for imposing austerity and cuts.

🚨 Glasgow could "end up in a Birmingham situation" if unions don't agree to equal pay deal

🚨 City "will run out of money" to pay compensation over illegal pay structure

🚨 Fire and rehire tactics may be deployed again
