Why are Scots paying more for energy to power their homes? - Bylines Scotland
Scotland hosts thousands of wind turbines, both on and off-shore, yet our energy bills remain unsustainably high

London: 7°C - Pitlochry: -2°C
Yet the person freezing in Pitlochry pays more for electricity — electricity generated in their own town.
Meanwhile, London, which produces almost none, pays less.
This isn’t just unfair. It’s exploitation. And it’s happening in Scotland every single day.

France has announced that it will cut diplomatic relations with Israel, citing the deaths of innocent Palestinians in Gaza as the reason for the decision. This drastic move marks a major shift in Middle East diplomacy and could influence how other countries respond amid escalating regional tensions.

After the long awaited budget delivered by the OBR, Sorry Rachel from accounts. We could be forgiven for thinking that we were wishing our lives away.
Let's be honest it was always going to be less than what we got last year & next year it will be even less.
If only we could borrow for ourselves.

Thatcher's government was a watershed moment in politics. For the first time, it was morally acceptable to be selfish and greedy!...
And it paved the way for successive governments to follow which Labour is pursuing now.

Well folks, The day is finally upon us. A defining day I may say for British politics. Does the country as a whole disseminate this budget & choose a different party to do the next one? After this budget do we see the country capitulate into an GE only to install a Farage government?

Again we have a government willing to go after the wrong people. Tax avoidance seems preferable to Labour MPs as it may upset some of their wealthy donors. So the mantra seems to be ''let's go target the 'lower hanging fruit' of benefit claimants, They make for better headlines anyway''.
