Us as voters can wait up to five years for a chance to change the UK Government, the 'markets' can get rid of a Prime Minister in less than 50 days.
The most overlooked part of Liz Truss's legacy is how it shifted power from ballots to billionaires.

A great day in Ellon with Nestrans (North East Scotland Transport Partnership)!
We saw the work done at Ellon Wheel Park, Ellon Park & Ride and the Formartine and Buchan Way, spoke with Ythan Cycle Club, got a shot on some adaptive bikes, and then I chaired today's meeting in Formartine House.
In Peterhead today with @jackiedunbarsnp.bsky.social
and Alan Petrie (on behalf of @karenadamsnp.bsky.social)
Some great opening remarks from Seamus Logan MP
Peterhead is a cornerstone of the North East's energy industry and it has a key role to play in our region's energy transition
Successive UK Governments have let children go hungry under the guise of "balancing the books"
But there's no better investment than giving children the best start in life
That's why @snp.org is scrapping the two-child cap
We're using what powers we have to create a better future for Scotland
Scotland already produces more than enough energy for our needs.
Folk are paying fortunes for energy to subsidise the rest of the UK.
Meanwhile, if Labour want energy jobs in Scotland, why are they overseeing hundreds of jobs being lost in the North East every single week?
Thousands of people in Aberdeen today for Grampian Pride π³οΈβππ
Over the past year we've seen why this is so important, so great to see so many people marching today
Folk who are renting privately already have to pay more to live in their homes, they shouldn't need to pay more to keep those homes warm too!

Warmest thanks to all SNP activists who campaigned today for @katyloudonsnp.bsky.social in Hamilton, Larkhall and Stonehouse.
Great chats and a huge team effort. And thanks to Cafe Ronzio for all the coffee making tips!

Stephen Kerr just told the Scottish Parliament that median earnings in Scotland were "significantly" below the UK figure of Β£37,480.
But he's not compared like-for-like...
The full figures are at avtrinity.com/news/what-is...
It shows median earnings in Scotland are Β£289 HIGHER than for the UK!

Today, I asked @johnswinney.bsky.social about the recent job losses at Harbour Energy, who blame the UK Government's excessive windfall tax.
The UK Government have ignored warnings about job losses, treated Aberdeen as a cashcow, and is undermining efforts to deliver a Just Transition.
The UK Government is failing the North East, failing to act on energy job losses, failing to invest in a Just Transition, and is treating us as a cash cow!
They could change that by giving the green light to the Acorn Carbon Capture and Storage project

A Facebook post from Stephen Flynn MP which reads: "They told us weβd never leave the EU. They told us weβd never have Boris Johnson as PM. They told us Labour would deliver change. They will tell us they can stop Nigel Farage holding power. Britain is broken. Letβs take control of our own destiny as an independent nation."

In April 2011, median full-time earnings in the UK were Β£26,100, equivalent to Β£37,398.35 in 2024.
In 2024, median full-time earnings was Β£37,430.
Across 13 years, UK wages grew by just 0.12% in real terms.
Can we end austerity yet? It's clearly not working for working people!
Very pleased to get an endorsement from the SNP's former Political Education Convener, successful election agent, and general North East stalwart @DouglasDaniel
Vote Michael Hutchison #1
for Angus North and Mearns

Labour have just put the Tories in power in Angus Council.
Your most recent reminder that, if you want to keep the Tories out, the Scottish Labour party cannot be trusted with your vote.
