📢 @kirstenoswald: “Thank you Mr Speaker, across Scotland and the UK, millions of families are seeing their incomes slashed by this Tory government - with a toxic combination of Tory cuts, tax rises, and the growing cost of Brexit.” #PMQs

📢 @kirstenoswald: "The Prime Minister promised he would make energy bills more than £60 per household cheaper after Brexit.

Instead, they could skyrocket by £550 at the worst possible time." #PMQs

📢 @kirstenoswald: "The UK government is slashing Universal Credit by £1040, furlough is ending prematurely, and a Tory tax hike will leave the majority of families hundreds of pounds worse off next year." #PMQs

📢 @kirstenoswald: "Let’s be clear - this is a Tory cost of living crisis and, yet again, low and middle income families will suffer the most." #PMQs

@kirstenoswald: "So, will the Deputy Prime Minister agree with me, it is time to scrap Tory cuts to Universal Credit and introduce an emergency energy payment for lower income families - so no one has to choose between heating and eating this winter?" #PMQs

📢 @kirstenoswald: “Thank you Mr Speaker, and that’s a disappointing and perplexing response from the Deputy Prime Minister who perhaps needs to go back and look again.”#PMQs

📢 @kirstenoswald: "And I have to say to him warm words don’t heat homes and unless these Tory cuts are reversed, we will see even more families pushed into hardship and crisis." #PMQs

@kirstenoswald: "Yesterday, I met with East Renfrewshire Citizens Advice Bureau - they warned of a cost of living Tsunami hammering families." #PMQs

✂️ A Universal Credit cut
💷 Tory tax hikes
📈 Soaring household bills

📢 @kirstenoswald: "Because of this government’s choices people are having to choose between heating their homes or feeding their families." #PMQs

📢 @kirstenoswald: "For all their empty rhetoric, you can’t ‘level up’ by making people poorer.

So can the Deputy Prime Minister explain why he’s stubbornly refusing to introduce an emergency energy payment that would help families through another difficult winter?" #PMQs
