Why does Scotland, which generates a surplus of energy, have some of the highest prices in the UK? "There is much more to do to bring down bills [...]" Then do it. "Energy caps" haven't really capped anything, and my bills continue to rise. Remove or cap the standing charges. Reduce energy bills to the levels they were at before the huge surge during Covid. I wonβt be signing up to the Believe in Scotland campaign Shock, horror. Please direct yourself to the nearest trash compactor and jump in it.
Because I signed up to @believeinscotland.bsky.social's "End Scotland's Energy Bill Rip-Off" I received an email from my MSP (SNP) and my MP (Labour).
This is my reply to my Labour MP (alt text in image, too long for Bluesky):

A photo of me standing next to Joe Hill as he signs my copy of his new novel, King Sorrow. He looks normal, I look like an idiot. I'm smiling weirdly and am, for some reason, waving at the lady who was taking the photo.

Scotland holds 96% of the UKβs crude oil, 90% of its fresh water, most of its gas, fish, and green energy β yet London still lectures it about βdependenceβ. Whoβs really dependent on whom? Independence isnβt a risk, itβs overdue.

News broke yesterday of a βCategory Aβ radiation leak that occurred earlier this year at Faslane.
Although comprehensively coved by MSM, there has been absolutely no mention of this from the βbbc in Scotlandβ, either on their TV / radio output, or online.

Ridiculously weird thing to be a wee bit upset about, because I'm not religious, but there we are. This is the church I used to go to for Christian holidays with my primary school. One of my friends lived literally across the road. Ah well.

Plaid Cymru MPs listened to disabled people and voted against the welfare bill tonight.
This bill was cruel from the start and remains unfit for purpose.
These measures will hit Welsh communities hardest - yet the vast majority of Welsh Labour MPs nodded them through.
Shame.
Today, I asked the Deputy PM if she would support an independent inquiry into the UK's complicity in Israeli war crimes.
She refused to answer.
Just like Iraq, the government is doing everything it can to shield itself from scrutiny. Just like Iraq, it will not succeed in hiding the truth.
Smoke and mirrors from WM as per usual, smacks of Thatcher's Argentinian conflict as in when things get rough let's have a good old war to bolster the spirits.ππ€¬
