🔎 Labour's newest MP has voted for a hard Brexit, a cut to Universal Credit, and a power grab on the Scottish Parliament.

🥀 He was warmly welcomed by Keir Starmer.

👇🏼 Labour and Tories are one and the same, and Scotland deserves better.

🇪🇺 Scotland voted overwhelmingly to remain in the EU, but we're now paying the price of Tory Brexit.

👇🏼 Labour are now full supporters of Boris Johnson’s Brexit – as Keir Starmer ruled out re-joining the EU or renegotiating the current damaging deal.

🤝 By warmly welcoming an ex-Tory MP, who backed a "no deal" and voted to impose the hardest possible Brexit, Labour confirms they're now fully on board the Brexit bus.

👇🏼 Meanwhile, families and businesses across Scotland are paying a heavy price.

✂️ Labour's new MP also voted to cut Universal Credit by £20 a week and abandon the triple lock on pensions - all while the cost of living is skyrocketing.

🥀 On immigration, there isn't much gap between Tories and Labour either.

🔎 When running for leader, Keir Starmer pledged to protect free movement - but now abandoned that pledge.

🛑 His new MP consistently voted for a stricter asylum system.

🛑 The Tories' anti-immigration policies, aided by Labour, cause significant damage to Scotland’s society and our economy.

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Yet again, Scotland's interests get ignored because of Tory governments we don't vote for - while Starmer panders to the right.

🤷🏼 For all the Labour promises of more powers or "federalism" for Scotland, Labour's new MP voted for a Westminster power grab and against more economic powers for Holyrood.

🥀 And when a Labour candidate backed #indyref2 in the 2021 election, she got immediately removed.
🤷🏼 While Labour does not tolerate Scotland's right to choose its future, they warmly welcome a right-wing MP who voted to ignore Scotland at every turn.

❌ It says a lot about the broken Westminster system.

@NicolaSturgeon 📣 @NicolaSturgeon to Douglas Ross:

"We introduced a series of balanced protective measures over the festive period. Coupled with the extraordinary response of the public and the booster programme, we're thankfully now in a better position - but we can't be complacent." #FMQs
@NicolaSturgeon FM: "Douglas Ross is showing rather more political desperation than we even thought he might have been.

'At the moment, this cautious approach is the one we should be taking - that's my sentiment' - those are not even my words, but the words of Sandesh Gulhane on 7 Jan." #FMQs

.@Ianblackford_MP: "This week was supposed to be ‘Operation Save Big Dog’ but it has quickly become ‘operation dog’s dinner’.

Over the past few days, we’ve had more damaging revelations about Downing Street rule-breaking, more evidence that Parliament has been misled." #PMQs
.@Ianblackford_MP: "And an ever-longer list of ludicrous - absolutely ludicrous - excuses from the Prime Minister." #PMQs
.@Ianblackford_MP: "First, he claimed there were no parties. Then he said he wasn’t present.

Then he admitted he was at them, but claimed he didn’t know they were parties.

And, the latest sorry excuse, really is the most pathetic of them all. “Nobody told me” #PMQs

@NicolaSturgeon FM: "There is plenty of capacity in vaccination centres, and you will always be welcomed.

So please go along - it is not too late, it's never too late, to get vaccinated."
@NicolaSturgeon FM: "The final issue I want to touch on briefly is the work I mentioned last week on a revised strategic framework."
@NicolaSturgeon FM: "A revised strategic framework is intended to set out how we might adapt, medium to longer term, to living with the virus in a way that still mitigates the harm it does but without the kind of restrictive measures that we are all tired of and which do harm in other ways."
