🥀 Before the election, Labour promised to lower energy bills by £300 - but now they’re skyrocketing.
With independence, we can use Scotland’s energy resources for the benefit of Scotland’s people. 🏴

With the honourable exception of @scotnational.bsky.social the Scottish press is being remarkably coy today about the biggest political story in the UK, the Labour government's decision to consign hundreds of thousands of disabled people to poverty.

The scenes in the Oval Office today will shame the US for decades. They’ll never be forgotten.
A world leader, fighting for his country against the 21st century’s Nazis, came to the US and was attacked & abused by a gangster regime siding with the fascist invaders.
A historic disgrace.

Have listened to what the chancellor was saying yesterday. Am I correct that all she is saying and changing is for the benefit of England. Not Scotland, not Wales but just England. Am I missing something here? I thought Scotland would be at the heart of this Labour Government?

Very welcome news that unemployment in Scotland has fallen to 3.8% and is lower than the rest of the UK.
Scotland’s economy has grown faster than the rest of the UK, but we need to do more to deliver growth and progress - I will be setting out views in a speech tomorrow.

Labour’s straitjacket on tax, their hike in employers’ national insurance, and their refusal to rejoin the EU single market have all stifled growth which we so badly need.
