SSE to invest £33bn in upgrading Scotland's electricity grid
The company plans to spend two-thirds of that to upgrade wiring and increase high-voltage grid capacity to get power from the north to customers in the south.
This is *not* because they want to improve infrastructure for Scotland's benefit, but to make it even easier to send Scotland's abundant and cheap renewable power to the south of England. Don't expect it to mean fairer prices in Scotland. It won't.

Independence supporters marching on BBC Scotland HQ in the wake of the 2014 referendum over its perceived bias against Yes
In the year to 2023, BBC Scotland issued more error corrections than all of the broadcaster’s other UK regional and national offices combined,overwhelmingly as a result of inaccurate criticism of the Scottish Government.'

graphic reads: “In an energy-rich nation like Scotland, no one should be struggling to pay their energy bills. The UK Government promised to cut people’s bills by £300 – instead bills have risen by almost £200. We must see action from the UK Government now.” Features a picture of Scotland’s housing secretary Mairi McAllan.
We’re calling for the UK Government to implement a Social Tariff which could reduce energy bills by up to £700 for those who need it most. 💚⚡️

The BBC is no longer trusted in Scotland and hasn’t been for at least a decade.
Anybody in this country (🏴) who still bleats about the BBC being a paragon of public service broadcasting is either delusional or must have been unconscious for the last ten years.

Graphic showing that unemployment has risen to 5% in the UK, but fallen to 3.7% in Scotland.
In Scotland, we're working hard to undo the damage being inflicted by Labour in Westminster.

There's a certain schadenfreude in witnessing the rest of the 'UK' catching up with what Scotland has known for decades.

Watching this should make it clear to ALL Scots what's been going on for years at the BBC. It's time we had our own public service broadcaster. In this film many small nations and regions around the world have that but not Scotland or Wales.

Chancellor warned Motability cut will cause 'significant' costs for disabled Scots
SCOTLAND’S Social Justice Secretary has urged the Chancellor not to slash the Motability car scheme, warning of the significant costs for disabled…
Another day, another Labour attack on disabled people. The scheme is devolved in Scotland, the tax exemptions which Reeves is proposing to axe are not, but Scot Gov has not been consulted. Anything to avoid raising taxes on the wealthiest, eh?

Look at this graph, Reform almost all of them went to Private School.
