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

If Labour was in power at Holyrood there would be
An end to Scotland mitigating Westminster policies.
An end to free University tuition
An end to free personal care for disabled/ elderly

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

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. 👇

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.
