Scotland accounts for more than 60% of the UK’s fishing capacity, yet Scotland is only receiving 7.78% of the funding. There may be practical reasons, but this sounds a bit ‘fishy’.

One of Zack Polanski’s under-appreciated political talents is an ability to switch instantly from upbeat, slightly silly fun to utter, heartfelt sincerity. I saw him do it in his conference speech and he does it in this slightly absurd film. It’s curiously moving.

When a whole string of UK PMs and Rachel from accounts say NO SCOTLAND, YOU CANNOT CHOOSE for over a decade, it starts to get a bit silly hearing unionists keep going on about the "once in a generation" nonsense or "it's not up to you, Scotland, it's English MPs choice".

So, if I get this right, the UK Labour Gov's EV policy is to penalise people who need to drive longer distances in their electric cars. 3 miles in a city, fine. 25 rural miles to go to the nearest supermarket, hammer them hard. Do these people never think things through properly

London: 7°C - Pitlochry: -2°C
Yet the person freezing in Pitlochry pays more for electricity — electricity generated in their own town.
Meanwhile, London, which produces almost none, pays less.
This isn’t just unfair. It’s exploitation. And it’s happening in Scotland every single day.
