Labour in cahoots with Tories to stop SNP, say @STVNews. #VoteSNP for MPs who will actually stand up to Tories #GE17https://stv.tv/news/politics/1390070-unionist-parties-working-against-snp-in-key-seats/ …

Nice to know Labour would rather support
#rapeclause#dementiatax Tories for own Gain than put Scotland first#VoteSNP
The SNP could rule out the disgusting Rape Clause in Scotland in an instant - they choose not to.

You mean mitigating more WM cuts. Sounds like a good excuse for another indyref
-
Or would you prefer the SG to hold the women to ransom and keep the stick to beat the Tories with? I want devolution that makes a difference
-
Like the bedroom tax. We fairly stiffed it to extra bedroom Scots residents eh?
-
Just took
@scottishlabour 6 months to drag the Scottish Government kicking and screaming into mitigating it. -
It was Labour who introduced the bedroom tax in the first place!
-
Not the same thing at all but a diversion from this debate. Lab and SNP agree "spare room subsidy" a disgrace. Difference over response.
-
Majority SNP government "forced" to mitigate bedroom tax by Labour. The party that introduced it!
You must be one of those paper candidates -
Fact is
@jackiebmsp tabled a bill which SG tried to keep out of the chamber. Eventually caved when one SNP MSP broke ranks to support it. - 2 more replies

By re-routing yet more tax funds a la the Bedroom Tax It should be opposed UK wide not just in Scotland
-
Ideally, but devolution gives us choices and chances.
@scottishlabour want to banish it utterly. Don't make the best the enemy of the good! -
What services do we cut to pay for it

They couldn't. It's not devolved.
-
One of the Benefit powers the FM postponed because they were too hard to do in 3 years, though full separation would be doable in 18 months?
-
But I'd be interested to know why you think SNP should keep mitigating tory policy from its purse? Bed Tax, personal care, prescriptions
-
Its purse? Our purse! I supported devolution so that in lean Tory years we could make life better here. We should do it because we can.

And you're a Labour candidate spouting same as your defacto leader Ruth Davidson
