Scotland is told by its bigger neighbour, which has benefited *enormously* from Scottish resources for over 50 years, that wanting independence and to benefit at last from those resources ourselves is 'selfish'. Uhuh. 😳🙄

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.

Dounreay nuclear power station last produced electricity 30+ years ago, yet decontamination is expected to last until the 2070s and cost £8Bn, with full decontamination of the site estimated to take more than 300 years. Now Westminster wants to build *more* nuclear power stations in Scotland.
