It’s total nonsense

This is an absurd statement

The sad fact is that they’re stupid enough to punt this nonsense

She’s not the only one

What happens if the far right get to be a majority force in the EU?

What an economic illiterate he really is! Not even Blair would have treated pensioners with such contempt

I share your despair Neil

An SNP Government shouldn’t be in the business of imposing even more austerity on the Scottish people. These cuts will damage growth, further erode public services and make the poor poorer. Not a good advert for Scottish independence.

Labour’s betrayal of pensioners will be their undoing

Disgraceful. Pensioners having to resort to food banks whilst the Labour MPs voting for this are all on over £92,000 a year and in some cases also getting thousands of pounds for paying their own fuel costs while in London. Outrageous.

She’s totally out of touch as well as cruel

There’s loads of other ways to handle the situation for example by introducing an emergency land tax on the biggest estates in Scotland and switching the £160 million being spent on cycle lanes to be invested instead in the housing programme.

I share your concerns

The proposed land tax should be raised by local councils. As such the Scottish Parliament has the power to do it

I’m happy to help

This is a reduction of £200 million on the previous budget before the cuts made in the last two years or so. Not good news

This wasn’t a’tough’ decision. It was a stupid decision. It was a cruel and ill thought out decision. It was certainly not a socialist decision. Labour hypocrisy at its worst

Denying poor pensioners the winter fuel payments certainly won’t be good for the many poor pensioners living in the islands, which have some of the coldest weather in the U.K.

This is a 25 per cent reduction from the housing budget before the SG started cutting it about two years ago. To have any chance of eliminating child poverty the missing £200 million needs to be urgently reinstated

Excellent initiative
