The UK Government's changes to the triple lock will mean Scots' pensions go up every year, while delivering extra money to the Scottish Government.

Andy Burnham's plan for the state pension mean that it will increase every single year by either the rate of inflation or 2.5%, and will track wage growth in the long run.

Money spent on social care will then generate significant extra funding for the Scottish Government through Barnett consequentials, ensuring that Scotland has the resources to tackle the problems facing our country.

🌹 Because of Labour’s decisions to invest in public services since the election in 2024, we have provided over £18 billion in additional funding for the Scottish Government to spend on Scottish public services.

The SNP Scottish Government has short-changed Scotland’s Councils year after year since 2013-14, raiding £50 million from East Lothian Council alone.

These austerity cuts have pushed Councils across Scotland to breaking point, forcing them to make impossible choices to protect key services.

The Labour UK Government took immediate action to end the era of Tory austerity, with record devolution funding having been delivered in successive UK budgets.

Now it’s time for the SNP Government to pass these extra resources on and finally deliver fair funding for East Lothian’s vital services.

In this week's East Lothian Courier, I write about a recent visit to Torness and the opportunities that nuclear energy presents.

The UK Labour government is investing in a new age of nuclear energy, bringing thousands of jobs to England and Wales.

The SNP should reconsider their opposition to nuclear energy so that Scotland can benefit from this opportunity.

Yesterday we saw a Labour Budget delivering for Scotland, with the Scottish Government receiving an additional ÂŁ600 million to fund our public services.

Meanwhile we’re helping families tackle the cost of living by cutting the standing charges from gas bills, and we’re also extending the VAT cut on energy bills, as well as removing the tariff on heating oil.

This is a budget that puts money back in the pockets of Scottish households, backs businesses, and puts Scotland firmly at the heart of Labour's plan for growth and reindustrialisation.
