This was Glasgow in the 70s under labour and we had oil in the North Sea, nothing much changed in the preceding 30 years as all the oil revenues went South to pay for Londons finance district, cross rail, M25 and City Airport, we were left with the ten worst slum areas in the Uk, now we have none.

Any Scot watching and listening to Rachael Reeves on this morning’s BBC Laura K will have it confirmed that we are on our own as a nation . Her answer to the closure of the Grangemouth Refinery when pushed on replacement jobs was that we are investing in new well paid jobs in the North of England .

Greg Jackson from Octopus Energy, now the largest supplier in the UK, yet again repeats that the Scottish people pay the most for energy even though Scotland generates more than it needs. Union bonus?

when Mr Windsor visits a foodbank in London, does he wear a pearly kings outfit? does he wear a flat cap and carry a whippet in Lancashire? No? Then why the cosplay tartan aristo gear when he visits somewhere in Scotland? www.thenational.scot/news/2486293...

New UK pensions minister has called to scrap ‘rubbish’ triple lock on state pension. Labour/Tories gunning for pensioners, condemning them to poverty. The issue isn't Young v Old. It is justice, equity, humanity. Young will get old too & face premature death. Fight for rights. archive.ph/NmDpE
