So much for Starmer's promised reset in relations. He's refused to meet our First Minister to discuss the upcoming budget, and Scotland's priorities.
Voters in Scotland decide our Government... but voters in England decide its budget.

Masked British “patriots” in Benidorm, taking over an entire street in Spain while shouting in English about “unwanted foreigners.” 😐

Bias is often in the eye of the beholder
So let’s stick to measurable facts
During 10 yrs of debate about Brexit, BBC QuestionTime had Britain’s Members of the European Parliament on the show 50 times
Every single one was from the pro Brexit minority
47 were from UKIP/BP
23 times Farage

Scotland has become a world leader in wind energy. With abundant onshore & offshore wind resources & a growing fleet of turbines delivering low-carbon power, they now produces far more electricity than it consumes. The generation success is real, the economic benefits too often flow out of Scotland

Scotland is advancing in the production of low-carbon power, yet the benefits are currently not felt

Even when Scotland is praised on the world stage the SNP gets no credit
Financial agencies applaud Scotland’s economy, but all we get is sneering. Govts need held to account but credit where credit is due
It shows how meaningless the quality of our debate has become
