It’s not acceptable that healthcare staff should have to pay £100 for a COVID vaccine since the NHS as their employer have a duty of care to their staff as well as patients. In protecting staff , they would be protecting patients from hospital acquired infection and helping to avoid staff shortages.

Time John Swinney stood up to Westminster.
Although trade is reserved to Westminster, fishing is devolved therefore Scotland should have a say. It cannot be accepted that Starmer can negotiate a trade deal on a devolved industry.
There must be a legal challenge to this.

What Scotland needs is zonal pricing. We pay the highest prices for energy in the UK and provide most of it! Scotgov needs to fight our corner on this.
If they don’t …we are screwed.

No surprises here from Labour. They clearly don’t want anything to do with the EU that makes it clear that Brexit failed.

Our Scottish politicians should take note. They ignore experts in every field which is why they’ve not managed to come up with an Energy strategy which is at least 18 mth overdue. More attention paid to national interests would secure our energy future.
