Whenever any newspaper article refers to Malcolm Offord as "Reform's Scottish leader," it needs to be corrected in the comments. Offord is not a party leader, he was not elected by party members in Scotland. Offord was handpicked by Farage to be his messenger-boy in Scotland. #Farage'sMessengerBoy

2025 generation round-up!
Wind power was the main producer with 29.7% of the year's generation (but I thought they didn't work?) 🥰
37.3% of the grid was powered from renewables vs 26.8% fossil fuels. 💪
.... and the lights didn't go out 😜
Meanwhile nuclear came in at 11.8%

Did you know Scottish generators pay the highest charges in Europe to connect to the grid, while English plants get subsidized? We are penalized for producing green energy. It is a rigged system designed to keep our energy cheap for London and expensive for us.
