If Scotland had cheaper greener electricity than England manufacturing would move north.
That is why Westminster will never do what is right for Scotland.

Sarwar has shown no ability or desire to protect Scots.

🚨 New poll!

🟒 Yes: 52%
πŸ”΄ No: 48%

More and more people are deciding that with the powers for a normal European country we could build a fairer, greener Scotland.

We must have the right to choose our own future.

WHY DO WE HAVE TO SETTLE FOR SECOND BEST?

No half-arsed agreement with the EU will restore the amazing advantages that we enjoyed - and celebrated - with free movement.

Let’s stop pissing about and rejoin the SM & CU and get free movement back. Only Starmer is stopping this.

This afternoon, Labour had the chance to stand up for Scottish industry by backing a call to give Grangemouth the same support as British Steel - they failed to do so. πŸ‘‡

Poster comparing quote from CEO of Octopus energy stating that Scotland produces the cheapest electricity in Europe, with the fact that our power sent to London is cheaper there than we pay here where it is generated.

Poster comparing quote from CEO of Octopus energy stating that Scotland produces the cheapest electricity in Europe, with the fact that our power sent to London is cheaper there than we pay here where it is generated.

So why does Electricity produced in Scotland and used here cost more than the same electricity exported to and used in London? Scotland, if you leave the Union you could enjoy the CHEAPEST electricity in Europe, instead of paying the highest energy bills in Europe as we do now.

Scotland has run out of choices in WM as some gave #labour one last chance and found out they are as right wing as Tories.

Child poverty has fallen in Scotland - whilst rising sharply in the UK.

Absolute child poverty in Scotland fell from 23% to 17% - the lowest figure in 30 years.

SNP Scottish Government policies are working to deliver on our top priority of eradicating child poverty.

Anas Sarwar, June 2024.

"It's in black and white in the Labour manifesto. There will be no return to austerity under a Labour government. No return. The reason why is we have seen first hand the damage done to our country by Tory austerity and we're not going back there."
