When we know @ScotGovEdu is aware that this is not true, then we can only assume collusion with @COSLA to publicly deny the inequity they have caused to families and workers and to turn a blind eye to LA's abusing the PVI. @COSLA's report is false and @sctogovEdu know this.

The SNP have gone from promising to abolish the unfair council tax, to freezing it, to now proposing the biggest hikes ever. Sixteen years on from that promise they're not an inch further forward.

This is a non event @NatalieDon_ PVI ain’t stupid as RLW would be £12 in April anyway. The issue is with the last 3yrs funding rates not keeping pace with cost rises, unless of course @HumzaYousaf @neilcgray are planning on the required 25% min funding rate rise. @2020Together

All the more reason to ensure the services are paid their worth @HumzaYousaf. Equal funding for children and equal pay for as you highlight predominately female workforce. There will still be a c30% disparity in salaries between private & public sectors. #SameJobSamePay

PVI qualified staff wages are the issue, along with biased and discriminatory spending of the public purse #equity4all

I wonder if the unequal pay for women ELC workers will have an impact on @theSNP chances in upcoming by -election @HumzaYousaf @neilcgray 🤔 it certainly should imo. This @scotgov are complicit in endorsing non fair work practices. Sign of bigger challenges to come. Action needed

I didn’t think this would happen under @HumzaYousaf but the evidence is overwhelming, @theSNP continue to support the demise of the PVI ELC sector, @COSLA are cracking the whip. This will harm 🏴 economy and 🏴 children. @2020Together we need your support to challenge this.
Wow, you are spot on Jim, @ELCScotGov have totally disengaged the whole PVI ELC sector @theSNP @ScotTories @ScottishLabour @scotlibdems. They do not want to hear the truth, they simply seek data to support their own narrative @SP_ECYP @heraldscotland

@ScotGovFM @ELCScotGov know all of this, but allow the discrimination of PVI, mainly female, workforce in favour of council workforce simply because @Cosla are the tail that wags the dog. It seems that a JR is only way forward. Our workforce deserve nothing less than #payparity

Good. It’s an abuse of the standing orders of @scotparl to be asking question about matters for which Scottish Ministers are not responsible - and just gives them an opportunity to grandstand and make Party political statements.
The Presiding Officer stops First Minister Humza Yousaf from answering after he was asked by Green MSP @MaggieChapman whether Home Secretary Suella Braverman should resign following a legal ruling on sending asylum seekers to Rwanda. #FMQs

Did you know that babies begin to develop causal reasoning (an understanding of cause & effect) as early as 8-months? Watch as this little guy discovers his actions can influence the dog’s behavior in specific - & hilarious - ways. 🧠
Also, this may be the world’s most infectious laugh.

🏊♂️The UK Govt made funding available to the Scottish Govt to help support our swimming pools and keep them open.
❌Yet the SNP kept it to themselves and now pools across Scotland like Bucksburn are closing. They must do the right thing and pass on that funding to councils now.

Totally Jim @elc1140
PVI been at threat for years as LA expand services with no regard to us. Say they need us but offer low costs to Parents cutting us out, dictate our rates, high wages, put bums on seats in large open plan nurseries where needs don't get met. No equality !

First Minister misled @ScotParl again last week. But he hasn’t even bothered to correct the record from when he did so in early June. The people of Scotland will no doubt draw their own conclusions as to his integrity & suitability for the role should he fail to do so again.

A shockingly biased spin put on a policy in crisis 🤬 @ELCScotGov are complicit as they protect their flawed advice and implementation. Shame on those who deprive children their #equality @theSNP @ScotTories @ScottishLabour @scotlibdems

@nlcpeople offer a 10p increase for next term 🤷🏻♂️ and @AngusCouncil have voted to DECREASE PVI funding rates 🤦♂️ the sector is crumbling @HumzaYousaf @neilcgray @NatalieDon_ @ELCScotGov quality is decreasing in this race to the bottom @STVNews
