Obviously it’s the wrong approach how can we enrich our friends if the public purse is being spent on povos?
Nasty fuckin people these lot.
Happily pushing those least able to defend themselves into poverty and death.
Subhuman scum
It’s getting harder for Labour to say “we’re different from The Tories” when doing shit like this!
Wrong for who Jackie?
I cannot fathom how people keep voting for Red Tories and then wondering why they keep acting like Tories.
The only politicians who even cosplay about caring for Scottish people are the SNP and Greens.
John Swinney has just called Anas Sarwar and Jackie Baillie to thank them for conceding the election
Who is Baillie trying to appeal to here?
I mean I get people think that the benefits bill is “too high” but there is reasons for that. The issues with NHS waiting lists & the mental health/burnout crisis being two reasons.
Issues none of our political class are addressing in a positive manner, preferring to focus on simplistic penny pinching.
Get them all out!
We could reduce child poverty with a direct payment to their parents, that sounds simple and effective, but we need to be open minded. Could we solve this problem by recruiting those children into the armed forces when they turn 18? By scrapping the cap on bankers bonuses, could we encourage more risk-taking behaviour in our financial services and we could relive the economy of 2002–2014? What about increasing the subsidy to arms manufacturers?
That sounds like the Right approach to Jackie. The SNP, Greens, LibDems, Resolution Foundation, Child Poverty Action Group, and so many other are just so narrow minded and evidence focussed. Let’s get policies that work.
“Repeating what the Tories did will surely convince the people who voted against them that voting Labour is the way to go…”
Nigel Farage must be loving this. Top Labour figures agreeing with him with him that the Tories and ‘Labour’ are identical.
“The OBR has predicted the welfare reforms could push another 250,000 people into poverty, including 50,000 children.
But Ms Baillie told the programme those figures did not take into account whether those people would take up employment.”
Also did not take into account those who are disabled who will be forced OUT of employment by these cuts.
“The Change Scotland Needs”
Like the loose change in the public purse after all the Multi-millionaires and Billionaires loot it?
This is why reform is gaining influence
For all the people on here calling them Red Tories. Are you willing to pay more in tax to cover those who are unable to work? Because that’s what you seem to want.
Technically she’s been suckling on the public teat ever since she was elected and has received hundreds of thousands of pounds in benefits from that. Funny how it’s ok for her to do that and not for the sick or the poor.
Is there more of a requirement for benefits in Scotland than in England and Wales? Are we to believe the Scottish administration is more caring or perhaps there is a malaise is Scotland of some sort that means Scot’s are less able to usefully participate in the economy and society?
Baillie being vile as fuck as per usual.
Jackie Baillie has gorged on benefits since 1999, coming up on 26 years as an MSP. Labour have been out of power for 18 of those years and are highly unlikely to ever be returned to Government, let alone official opposition.That role will be fought out between the Tories and Reform.
Labour are no more than a fringe party in Scotland, yet Scottish media has treated them as a government in waiting since 2007.
Supporting full fiscal autonomy would allow any Scottish government to focus on empowering our economy and naturally reducing the reliance on benefits under Westminster handling of the UK economy that sees Scotland as an afterthought.
Hope these people realise they are ending their careers
Plummy voiced Red Tory in hates the poor shocker.
All these blue Labour types have found it incredibly refreshing to be given the go-ahead to be truthful from No.10 and they’re hard at work manufacturing consent for the austerity they only recently claimed wasn’t on the menu.
