I move amendment S6M-20056.2, to leave out from first “believes” to end and insert: “notes with concern Audit Scotland’s recent assessment of a ‘funding gap for devolved social security spending of £2.0 billion by 2029/30’ and the absence of a ‘detailed strategy for how the Scottish Government will manage the forecast gap between social security funding and spending’; welcomes the announcement in the 2025 UK Budget of the removal of the two-child limit for universal credit, noting that this will lift an estimated 450,000 children across the UK out of poverty and that, in the assessment of the Joseph Rowntree Foundation, ‘the projected fall in child poverty over the current parliament would be the biggest on record’; believes that this must be followed by a renewed focus in Scotland on tackling the causes of poverty and boosting the means of defeating it, such as employability, housing and education, and further believes that the long-term solution to breaking the generational cycle of poverty in Scotland must include supporting people into sustainable and well-paid work.” 15:05 Our social security system embodies the duty that we have to one another.

However, it fails to acknowledge that the unjust transition that we are seeing is the result of choices that have been made by an industry and by private sector interests that have extracted vast profits over many years, are now abandoning that industry’s workers and are not being held to account by the Scottish Government or the UK Government. The idea that the best response now is a massive tax cut for the fossil fuel profiteers that have caused that crisis simply beggars belief.
