Labour came in promising to cut energy bills by £300. Now they’re almost £200 higher, and they trumpet a change that won’t even cover the increase since they took office.
Is this really it??
Scotland deserves better than this chaos. A fresh start with independence. 🏴

Pointlessly evil.
Disabled people choose these brands bc they come with a guaranteed replacement vehicle WHICH IS ESSENTIAL IF YOU'RE DISABLED.
They pay the difference themselves.
So all you've done is tell disabled CEOs/working disabled people that they have to drive a Kia.

Way back in 2018 I did a walking tour of Vancouver with @brenttoderian.bsky.social and he explained how that city overcame this problem. You need family-sized units & also, crucially, *good urban schools*.

<p>A Trump administration official confirmed reports that it is working on a plan to build housing for thousands of "screened" <a href="https://www.middleeasteye.net/countries/palestine" target="_blank">Palestinians</a> behind the so-called yellow line in <a href="https://www.middleeasteye.net/topics/israel-genocide-gaza" target="_blank">Gaza</a>, which is occupied by<a href="https://www.middleeasteye.net/countries/israel" target="_blank"> Israeli</a> troops, according to a report by The New York Times published on Wednesday. </p>
<p>The plan to build these housing compounds, dubbed “Alternative Safe Communities”, is being led by a team of <a href="https://www.middleeasteye.net/countries/us" target="_blank">US</a> officials and former Department of Government Efficiency workers, or Doge, who are based in the luxury beachfront Kempinski and Hilton hotels in Tel Aviv, The New York Times reported. </p>
<p>The article cited dozens of US officials and people familiar with the plan, but obtained a public confirmation from Aryeh Lightstone, who the New York Times identified as a senior Trump administration official leading the effort. </p>
