The Scottish Government kept telling me that devolution meant that Scotland couldn't do publicly-owned renewables.

I kept telling them to that even if Ministers weren't allowed to own them, Local Authorities could.

Sky News and the BBC repeatedly mention the "migrant crisis" in doing so they are normalising and legitimising far right talking points. There is no "migrant crisis", there is only migrant hysteria, which the British media is feeding into instead of countering.

🟥 Westminster decides how to run the UK economy - regardless of Scotland’s priorities. That was the message of Rachel Reeves' spending review.
