Also Sarwar had the biggest spending of all the parties for Holyrood’s May election. Biggest defeat since his previous one in 2021. Adverts on YouTube 24/7 and more corporate donors than any other party.
For information: "Once the oil is drilled from the North Sea, it is owned by the private businesses and multinational energy corporations (like BP, Shell, and private-equity-backed firms) that extract it." Drilling more oil doesn't make us more energy secure.
Whether it’s an effort to appease the far right, or succumbing to the misplaced idea that opening up the North Sea will help reduce bills, the energy policy and system in Britain is a complete shambles, Mike Small ✍️
The essential paradoxical flaw that underpins the entire economy in the UK (and most other countries) is that the poor must not be paid more because it will make them lazy, and the rich must be paid more or they won't work.
For anyone who thinks increasing oil & gas production is the path to energy independence, you're dead wrong. While we continue to rely on fossil fuels, we're held hostage to global pricing. The real path to energy security is local production of renewables and grid-scale storage. #EnergyTransition
Nuclear Power Generation is neither. Safe - Green - Clean. It is beyond dispute, debate or argument From Mining the Uranium Ore - Processing into fuel - Generation Plant - Post operation clean up - Waste 1/

Meidas Scotland 🏴EU@sovereign.scot · 4w ago300+ SNP supporters responded to my survey on donation refund calls. Clear result: Strong rejection of the calls. Most view them as politically motivated and want focus on financial controls instead. Many say they’re now donating more. @maureenpickering.bsky.social @markrich68.bsky.social

Scottish Greens@scottishgreens.org · last mo.Today saw an important step towards a pause on the construction of hyperscale data centres in Scotland. At First Minister's Questions the First Minister agreed to consider Scottish Green calls for a pause, following significant concerns around their environmental impact.
All it takes for Reform to fail is the shadow tanker fleet of the BBC, right wing press, and nervous media oligarchs, to turn away from their current course, and actually report some rather inconvenient truths about political corruption around crypto and money laundering

Yesterday I repeatedly said I was the most attacked MP in the UK. Which is true if you don't count the two who were killed, or those attacked with a sword or who had their offices set on fire and if you only count 'attacks' with milkshakes or eggs.
YouGov: Just 25% of Britons have a favourable opinion of Nigel Farage, the joint-lowest figure for the Reform UK leader since the 2024 election. Nearly two thirds (65%) of the public see the Reform UK leader unfavourably, leaving him with a net score of -40. (Andy Burnham is on -4)
