Great to have your support hugh keevins in advance of this weeks #ScottishBudget . A £5 increase of child benefit can begin to unlock families from poverty, it can't wait.
Don't know much about her but Kate Forbes is coming across well - serious, competent, and in charge of her brief. Time for a female Finance Cab Sec #ScottishBudget
Kate Forbes is an outstanding politician....a future PM/President of an independent Scotland...That she is followed by Murdo Fraser, a classless little man shows a great contrast.. #ScottishBudget
Here’s how today’s #ScottishBudget proposals will affect the tax rate for those living in Scotland. These tax bands will apply to your earnings, pension and rental income.
All things #ScottishBudget this afternoon. College sector revenue resource budget has increased to £640 million, a real terms rise of around 3.6%. Very pleasing that the Scottish Government is recognising the role of colleges in delivering skills and qualifications Colleges Scotland
Here’s the article from Private Eye Magazine JOHN NICOLSON M.P. Joan McAlpine about the misappropriation of Scotland’s TV license income. And they didn’t even broadcast live #scottishbudget & ignore most local & national culture in Scotland
Absolutely incredible that Kate Forbes did the #scottishbudget entirely in Gaelic, before doing it again in English. But I bet you won't see it on the MSM, who will only show the English version.
Labour called for the Scottish Child payment to be doubled from £10 to £20
That increase was in today's SNP Scottish Budget.
Labour voted against the Budget.
⬆️Why labour are in 3rd place in Scottish politics and have no credibility left.

Congratulations to Kate Forbes in delivering the #ScottishBudget - first woman ever to deliver a budget at Holyrood or Westminster. The Budget also delivered in both Gaelic and English. A truly inspiring politician !!
What is the BBC Scotland channel for ? The #ScottishBudget is being debated in the Scottish Parliament but the BBC Scotland channel is showing the film Yentl. Who made that decision ? BBC Parliament is showing a delayed “highlights” version at 17:30 #NoRespect
Thanks to John Swinney Humza Yousaf for an open and thoughtful discussion with myself and Coalition of Care & Support Providers in Scotland board member Ron on our serious concerns re #socialcare sustainability and #FairWork tonight. Look fwd to continuing the conversation re the #ScottishBudget and beyond.
Well done Kate Forbes! An inspiration for many of us watching for carrying out duties with such dignity, knowledge and leadership during a tough time, thank you 💛 #ScottishBudget
As the noise from the yoons around the #ScottishBudget continues into the night, don’t forget the tories have slashed 25% off universal credit in a poverty crisis they created #ToryScum #ToryCostOfGreedCrisis
Historic moment as Kate Forbes delivers the #ScottishBudget - first woman to deliver a budget at Holyrood or Westminster.
May this inspire many more women and girls #RoleModel
Kate Forbes responds to Rhoda Grant: 'I'm proud to be presenting this budget today because it delivers in the national interest...question for Labour is if they have good ideas...whether they tell us what it will cost and what they will cut to deliver it.' #ScottishBudget
John Swinney very robust in defending the #ScottishBudget & pushing the spotlight towards the BBC's Glenn Campbell for the focus of questions on any leaks. Will Glenn Campbell say where he got the information from? #bbcgms
