@aberlourcharity.bsky.social is calling on Scot Gov to reform public debt recovery, including council tax, to better support low income households struggling with public debt, protect vulnerable families at risk of problem public debt and prevent public debt pushing children & families into poverty.

This is good to hear that UK Gov is changing council tax collection rules in England so that it is less aggressive and gives people who are struggling and have missed payments more time to pay before further debt recovery action.

It's perfectly reasonable to challenge ministers on N Sea oil & gas as a response to the energy shock.

But this is the exclusive framing for EVERY interview on this topic.

No minister or opposition leader is ever asked if they'll "max out" wind/solar.

It's always framed as fossil fuels v inaction

Graphic explains that people seeking asylum receive very little money from the government. UK asylum system support covers £9.95 weekly in hotels or £49.18 in self-catered housing.

An asylum seeker is someone who has asked for protection in the UK and is waiting for the Home Office to make a decision on their claim. A refugee is someone whose claim has been accepted because they have proven they’re at risk of serious harm in their home country.

Less than 7,000 people are seeking asylum in Scotland. People seeking asylum do not get priority access to housing or healthcare. People seeking asylum do not live in luxury hotels, they live in cramped hotel rooms with strangers.

Infographic explaining why most refugees stay in neighboring countries and the UK hosts less than 1% of the world’s refugees due to connections and language.

We've seen a lot of divisive language and misinformation about people seeking safety lately.

This is the reality of claiming asylum and being a refugee in Scotland 👇

UK Pauses Plan to Scrap £500 Million of Unpaid Energy Bills The UK’s plan to write off as much as £500 million in unpaid household energy bills has been paused, even as debt reaches a record high.

Reports that the Ofgem energy debt relief scheme, a huge campaign win for us and the sector, has been paused are deeply concerning.

The sheer scale of their erratic behavior and political interference proves that extreme wealth concentration is a structural threat to society."

This week we ended the two child limit.

In England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland.

Great to hear from parents, @alisonstaylormp.bsky.social and @aberlourcharity.bsky.social about the difference that change will bring to every corner of our country.

Thanks to @UK Government Secretary of State for Education, @bphillipsonmp.bsky.social and @alisonstaylormp.bsky.social for visiting our Glasgow Family Support Service today to hear from families affected by the Universal Credit 2 child limit and what removing it will mean for them. #EndChildPoverty

🚨 ALERT: Hunger in Scotland isn’t a food problem - it’s an income problem.

When incomes don’t cover essentials, food banks become lifelines.

BUT no one should have to rely on them to survive.

For children, young people, families and care experienced adults this means they will have more say in the decisions that impact their lives, more support transitioning into adulthood, and a better Children’s Hearings System, among many other things.
