‘Speaking outside his chateau in France, former Brexit Party and UKIP MEP Coburn answered "no" when a BBC journalist asked him whether he had ever been paid to give a speech to promote pro-Russian campaigners.’

Great work from @BBCWales. Keep going

What we're seeing with all this new data is that the Brexit damage is only getting worse as time goes on. Companies aren't "adjusting". They're either leaving, downscaling or going under. From manufacturing to services to culture to farming & fishing, the decline is snowballing rhe longer we're out.
New analysis by the politically neutral House of Commons library says that Brexit:

- cost the average Briton between £2,700 and £3,700

- lost the Treasury up to £90bn a year tax revenue.

Rachel Reeves budget options could have been very different!

I'm listening to Radio Ulster.

They've just said that energy bills will become cheaper because of the way connection fees will be charged. Good for them.

Will this be happening in Scotland and elsewhere 🤔

When ScottishGovt & Nicola Sturgeon introduced measures to protect people during Covid (while Johnson threw parties in No10), the corrupt MSM & right-wing Labour & Tories screamed: ‘so unfair - she’s protecting Scots by doing things different from Boris!’ Then they smeared this was an indy agenda.

Whether ye believe it or not, Nicola Sturgeon gave us the Best Services in the UK, SNP have maintained them for 8yrs Running & best NHS for 10yrs running, While giving us Freebies at point of use, using our Taxes to Mitigate the Worst of Tories Policies.

Heard about Labour’s ‘Pride in Place’ funding? A £20m headline means nothing when the numbers don’t add up. Edinburgh deserves real investment, not political illusions.

Labour were willing to save the Scunthorpe steel works, but not Grangemouth or Mossmorran & their Energy Profits Levy is destroying investment, livelihoods & jobs in Aberdeen & the north east.

And yet as we found later, a blue tent can be only used when the U.K. state wants to smear a politician who acted with diligence and dedication!
Never trust a Tory. This country is still living with the damage they caused. Thousands died because they put Johnson in charge, and no amount of spin will ever rewrite that. #ukpolitics

Well that says it all! it couldn’t be clearer.Scotland generates the energy that lets England enjoy cheaper bills, solar power, and extra funding for England’s NHS & schools, yet Scotland gets nothing! It’s a disgrace, and people need to stop ignoring the reality of how Scotland is treated😡#voteSNP
It's by no means perfect or big enough but GB Energy is already doing quite cool stuff. Ed Miliband is not the enemy in Govt.

All those naw voters at Hampden last night singing our national anthem and belting out the words ‘we can still rise now and be a nation again’. Will they stand by the convictions of the words they were singing, or will they remain cap doffing hypocritical yoons’. I think I know the answer. 🤔

People in Scotland want an asylum system that is controlled, that they have confidence in, and that shows compassion.

The Home Secretary’s proposals do none of these things.

We need a humane, effective and efficient system 🧡
