improve the lives of millions

John electing Liberal Democrats makes a huge difference.

Thanks to the Liberal Democrats and the changes we’ve negotiated to
Scotland’s budget we are going to improve the lives of millions and put the
recovery first.

As part of the budget in the Scottish Parliament, we secured:

🥰 An extra £120 million for mental health to pay for new services in
communities.

📚 An extra £60 million to help education bounce back with smaller class
sizes.

👩‍💼 Additional support for businesses.

🧒 An extra £20 million to provide more in-class support to children who need
it. This increases the money paid directly to headteachers to support pupils by
around 16 percent.

🚜 £5 million more for agriculture transition funding, which rewards farmers
for environmental stewardship and helps meet our climate change priorities.

🛢️ £15 million in special allocations to the North East to pay for skills
training, upskilling and business support in a region particularly under
pressure given its reliance on fossil fuel industries.

🏘️ An additional commitment of £90 million for councils, to remove the risk
that local services would face a funding cliff edge next year.

👁️ A clear commitment that specialised eye services in Lothian will be
protected.

🚢 Funding for the internal ferries in Orkney and Shetland.

This couldn’t have happened without our MSPs in the Scottish Parliament,
standing up for their communities and putting the recovery first.

That’s the difference electing Liberal Democrats makes.

And if you want Liberal Democrats making a difference in your community,
don’t forget to vote Liberal Democrat in May. There are elections all over the
UK and by electing Liberal Democrats, you’ll elect champions who’ll stand up
for your community and make a real difference.





Best wishes,
Willie Rennie
Leader of the Scottish Liberal Democrats
