Labour’s “Britain” a green energy superpower?

Thanks to Scotland’s abundant renewable energy and exploiting Scottish consumers who’re paying probably the highest energy prices in Europe while fuel poverty in Scotland is c30% and consumers in England pay less for energy generated in Scotland.

There is nowhere in the Edinburgh agreement that uses that phrase or anything about the timing of another referendum at all.

138 cuerpos recién hallados en Huelva. Es aterrador y profundamente desalentador que cada semana aparezcan nuevas víctimas en fosas comunes, recordándonos que mientras el fascismo crece, la verdad de estas vidas sigue emergiendo.

Two things stand out about this picture:

1. a political leader embracing rather than demonising asylum seekers;

2. the beautiful clothes the Afghan girls are wearing, and which they are free to show in public.
It’s not where we come from that counts, it’s about where we’re going.

Great to meet Afghan Scots children at Maryhill Burgh Halls and hear a lovely rendition of Robert Burns.

If we were independent, we wouldn’t be getting tapped for £200 million to help them build it.
People in 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 just don’t seem to realise the power of independence is infinite

“The UK is cursed”: Richard Murphy delivers a brutal critique of the UK economy.

Scotland must break free of this interminable mess.

31 years ago this month, I warned that America was becoming a two-tiered society composed of a few winners and a larger group left behind, whose anger and disillusionment could be easily manipulated.

I took a lot of heat for this speech. Watch and tell me if I was wrong.

Dreadful. I wish they'd leave her alone but the British state will deal with any threat to its existence appropriately. The scrutiny Nicola has faced versus the likes of Sarwar and Baillie is disgusting. I'm not an SNP member but expect more of this shite before May

Let’s defeat the politics of hate and despair with the politics of hope.

Honoured to march with the STUC through Glasgow against racism, and for a fair and diverse country that we must remain.

I wish Scotland could get rid of the UK and its utterly meaningless politics.
"If you can't get rid of the people who govern you, you don't live in a democratic system". The English Establishment Interest - Tory, Labour, Lib, Reform - tell Scots their votes don't count to choose their future, well "We say Yes and we are the people" #RightToChoose

Ok. So what are manifestos for? If you can't believe what politicians promise to get elected, how do you know what you're getting? How does democracy work when politicians simply lie with Impunity? If we end up with fascists and didn't realise we would, what then?
