Scotland is one of the most energy-rich countries in Europe, yet families here pay some of the highest bills. That simply does not add up. An energy-rich Scotland should mean energy-rich Scots. My column in today’s Daily Record 👇

@johnswinney.bsky.social and the @snp.org are correct! These racist, toxic, far right-wing unionist parasites need confronting! A MESSAGE TO THESE HATEFUL CLOWNS! HATE IS NOT WELCOME IN ALBA/SCOTLAND 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

I think it's safe to say that Corbyn's ridiculously self-sabotaging political project won't pose an electoral challenge to Starmer's right wing Labour party, and that's a shame as the left really needs to get its act together. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Westminster's race to the right shows the urgency of Scottish independence, John Swinney is expected to say

As overall planning authority the Scottish Government must insist on specific always-on metering and real-time display of power being produced from Buchan. Same for all Scotwind & other projects. Part of the big picture of Scottish resource movement - always available to the Scottish people.

Any Scottish person STILL voting Labour, because their Granda did, has not mastered the art of Critical Thinking. It's 2025. This sort of pish on enables Nigel Farage. We need Scottish Independence, more than ever.

Met some American visitors at the new Stornoway Cruise Terminal, built with Scottish Government funding. They were rightly blown away by the beauty of the Western Isles. More local jobs, more money for the local economy, and Scotland on show to the world.

With American academics looking to move to Europe to further their careers. The UK will be off the destination list, why move to a franchise when you could have the original in Trumpland. EU are going to be the big winners on this.
