Today's events in Washington are a clear cause for deep concern, for shock, for anger. What we need now are cool heads and clear thinking. We must stand firm with our European allies in the steadfast defence of Ukraine. That is where Scotland stands. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇺🇦

Look at how Scotland's energy mix has changed since Labour made us reliant on Coal and Nuclear. Since then successive SNP Scottish Governments have reached 100% electricity consumption coming from cheaper renewable sources. public.flourish.studio/visualisatio...

I started planning this column a while ago, but I kept imagining it wouldn't be necessary, as many other journalists would surely get there first. I've been scratching my head ever since, wondering "where is everyone?" Is this not a huge and obvious issue?

There are calls for Lord Eric Pickles to resign from the House of Lords he complained to the Grenfell Inquiry that he was missing important lunches. Like if he needs to resign. RT if he needs to be fired.

It's the 51st anniversary of the McCrone report when Westminster covered up the true extent of Scotland's oil wealth. Now they're downplaying Scotland's renewable energy wealth & exporting it while Scotland has some of the highest fuel bills in Europe. www.thenational.scot/business/174...

Labour NEVER work in Scotland's interests! ❌ Labour MSP Michael Marra failed to vote for the SNP's £15m funding for Dundee University. ⚠️ He chose to put the Labour Party before Dundee. While Labour sits on their hands, the SNP will support the university to recover and protect jobs. TRAITOR!

They might be tanking in the polls, But that's alright because the reward of gold & favours from the empire are worth more than what they could get from the electorate. An ermine coat & a £360 a day job for life far outweights the pay of an ordinary, honest, hardworking MSP in Scotland.

Ed Miliband claimed yesterday that UK Energy will reduce electricity prices for consumers in the UK. Unless he changes the rules on energy pricing, it won't. Why do Labour talk total nonsense? Are they ignorant, stupid or liars? It's a fair question to ask. www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2025/02...

SNP Government budget was supported by the Greens, Liberal Democrats and Alba, while Labour MSPs abstained. The £63bn Budget will deliver a record settlement for the NHS and councils, fund a winter fuel payment for pensioners, and help tackle child poverty.

The Scottish budget just passed, despite containing measures to mitigate the axing of the winter fuel payment & the 2 child benefit cap, Labour MSPs abstained even though they claim to support these things. Siri: Show me an example of spinelessness.
