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.

It’s says so much about the british media in Scotland that there has been absolutely no mention of this meeting on the bbc, The Scotsman or The Herald

Their propaganda by omission is just an indication of their fear for their union

🇬🇧 The unionist media is in an information War on Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿
First Minister John Swinney has met with Irish president Catherine Connolly 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 🇮🇪

Swinney said it was 'a great privilege' to meet Connolly and 'discuss the deep connections and shared values of Ireland and Scotland'

In the words of one 🔴 Tory…if I had £1 for every serious economist or political commentator that thinks this is a budget that will renew the economy and solve the cost of living pressures then I’d have 50p!

Wake up Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 …time to leave this toxic union!
If ever there was a budget that illustrated that the government of the day was full of weathervane politicians and that they are bereft of policies to renew the economy then this is it…stealth, scattergun, conflicting measures all bundled up by 🔴 Tory’s to appease the city behind 🪄 🫘 growth!
Scotland has once again been left as an afterthought and families left to pay the price for Labour Party failure.

The 50 wealthiest families own more wealth than the bottom 50% of the population.

How can this Labour Government say this is a "cost of living" budget and refuse to tax the rich?

They care about protecting power and wealth. And cost of living is a buzz phrase for them. Dire.

The Scottish Government is already mitigating the two-child cap and its disgusting “rape clause”.

Not that anyone would have noticed as UK political parties and media are terrified of the progressive measures being taken in Scotland to mitigate relentless Thatcherite austerity from Westminster.

#Holyrood under the #TheSnp have been mitigating this, hence almost 10% difference in child poverty
Good to hear Rachel Reeves finally attack the 2 child benefit cap - but if Labour were so much against it, why’s it taken them so long to scrap it? And why were Labour MPs suspended for saying *exactly* the same last year? There’s no moral high ground here #budget2025
