Stuart C. McDonald is MP for Cumbernauld, Kilsyth and Kirkintilloch East

The sweetest of endings to 2024 😮‍💨

We’ve known for some time that Labour promises mean nothing but this is an extraordinary betrayal of the @WASPI_Campaign women. Shame on Labour.

📢 Labour promised the WASPI women they would deliver justice.

🥀 Now they've entered government, they turned their back on them and have refused to deliver justice.

🤝 The SNP will continue to fight and campaign for the WASPI women to receive the justice they deserve.

Great to have you on board @_JoshScanlan. Lovely to bump into you the other night and so glad you have joined @theSNP again.

If you haven’t yet, join the SNP and together, let’s build a better Scotland:

Dear Home Secretary - people have fled and are fleeing Syria for many reasons. This decision does not align with international legal obligations. Please publish the official legal advice.

It’s polling day in Partick East/Kelvindale! We’ve been out all week working for our brilliant candidate Cylina Porch.

If you live in the ward please remember to #VoteSNP today!

Here’s how the Scottish Budget is delivering progress for you:

💙 Record rise in frontline NHS funding
🏡 Over 8,000 new affordable homes in 2025/26
❄️ Universal winter heating payment for pensioners
🌱 Investing in green jobs and economic growth
🚫 Ending Labour’s two-child cap

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 @theSNP's #ScotBudget for 2025/26 is delivering for you and your family.

🏥 Record NHS funding
🥀 Ending Labour's two-child cap, lifting 15,000 kids out of poverty
🔥 Winter Heating Payment for every pensioner household
💷 Majority of Scots paying less tax than rest of the UK

Tour de force from @ShonaRobison - her budget delivers record increase to health & social care, more capacity to drive down on waiting times, more investment to GPs, pharmacies, dentistry & optometrists as well as addressing delayed discharge. Delivering for people of Scotland

Busy weekend across Partick East/Kelvindale ward ahead of this Thursday’s by-election. If you live in the ward, remember to vote for Cylina Porch #1 on Thursday!

🥀 As soon as they got into government, Labour decided to cut the Winter Fuel Payment.

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 We don’t think that’s right - so we’ve introduced a universal Winter Heating Payment for 900,000 Scots pensioners.

📢 We're focused on ensuring people get the support they are entitled to.

💛 At a time when families are struggling with the ongoing cost-of-living crisis, we have been delivering 14 benefits, seven of which are only available in Scotland.

This is the very definition of indiscriminate warfare.
The Al-Shifa Hospital, the largest hospital in Gaza, utterly destroyed.
A clear violation of humanitarian law.

Our front page tomorrow leads on calls from First Minister John Swinney to the chancellor Rachel Reeves to scrap the two-child benefit cap in her Budget #ScotPapers #TomorrowsPapersToday

I am proud to have signed the letter in support of @unitetheunion campaign to reverse the UK Government’s cut to the winter fuel payment.

The winter fuel payment cut was not what voters in Scotland were promised. I urge the Chancellor to change course in today’s Budget.

📢 Labour must abandon the current failed model of public spending cuts that undermine growth in Scotland.

📈 Instead, Labour must invest to raise productivity, decarbonise the economy and tackle inequalities.

Another night of horror in the #Gaza Strip.

A strike hit a hospital courtyard, burning the tents where people were sleeping. Just before this, an @UNRWA school sheltering families was hit in Nuseirat.

That same school was going to be used as a #polio vaccination site today.

I am deeply shocked and saddened at the untimely death of the former First Minister Alex Salmond and I extend my deepest condolences to Alex’s wife Moira and to his family. (1/3)
