At a time when more than half of Universal Credit claimants are not able to afford to eat, it's disheartening to hear that the Chancellor may choose to prioritise harsher benefit sanctions. Increasing benefit sanctions is only likely to push more people to foodbanks. 💚

@AnasSarwar @blairmcdougall @PFOKane @NeilBibby Most Scots are happy to pay more tax for a fairer and more equal society. It's called socialism. Have you ever heard of it?
@AnasSarwar @blairmcdougall @PFOKane @NeilBibby Is this the same fair deal that left thousands of women out of pocket because they were being financially punished by Labour councils?
I’m currently writing a paper about devolved welfare. A chunk of it is about ‘austerity dumping’ on local authorities. While I support localising decision making, this must be accompanied by proper resources for local and subnational government. Responsibilities need resources.
