Another massive blow to climate action from the Scottish Government today. This time its also a huge backwards step for our efforts to tackle fuel poverty.
Its genuinely incredibly sad to see the Government trash its reputation as a climate leader like this.

Robbie Gibb was appointed to the BBC Board by Boris Johnson, was an editorial advisor for GB News, and worked as Theresa May's Director of Comms.
He is not impartial or neutral. The government should remove him from the Board immediately to protect the BBC's independence.
