🗳️ Who do we trust to lead Scotland’s recovery and shape our future?

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 The SNP Scottish Government, or UK Tory governments that Scotland rejected for over 60 years?

🧵 THREAD: this is a tale of two governments.

snp.org/tale-of-two-go…
🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 The SNP @scotgov offered NHS staff at least a 4% pay increase, giving frontline nurses an average £1,200 rise. That’s on top of our £500 thank-you payment.

🇬🇧 The UK Tory government offered a 1% rise, branded by staff and unions as “an insult”.
🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 The SNP Scottish Government is delivering the strongest protection for children’s rights anywhere in the UK.

🇬🇧 The UK Tory government imposes a power grab and threatens to take @scotgov to court for strengthening children’s rights.
🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 We’re working hard to tackle child poverty, with bold measures such as the Best Start Grant and the Scottish Child Payment - described as "game-changing" by charities.

🇬🇧 The UK Tories are wasting billions of pounds more to impose more nuclear weapons on the Clyde.
🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 We've already delivered over 96,500 affordable homes - and we have a bold plan to deliver 100,000 more, with at least 70% for social rent.

🇬🇧 Boris Johnson spent £2.6m of taxpayers’ money on a Downing Street TV briefing room, as well as a “Brexit plane” and more Union flags.
🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 We're the only party that consistently stands up for Scotland's place in Europe and Scotland's right to choose a better future with independence.

🇬🇧 The UK Tory government imposed a damaging hard Brexit on Scotland, against the democratic will of our people and Parliament.
🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 We've already delivered many progressive policies:

🎓 Free tuition
💊 Free prescriptions
💛 Free personal care
🧒 Expanded free childcare
🏥 Record high NHS funding
🏦 Scottish National Investment Bank

🇬🇧 Much of that progress is under threat from the Westminster power grab.
🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 The best way to protect the @ScotParl from the Tory power grab, and protect Scotland from the impact of damaging Westminster policies, is becoming an independent country.

🗳️ On May 6, make it #BothVotesSNP to secure #indyref2 and put Scotland's future in Scotland's hands.
