Well done Scot.Gov SNP 👏
"The Scottish parliament has voted overwhelmingly for “historic” long-term rent controls – a first across the UK ...
It sets deadlines for landlords to address issues ... hazardous to tenants’ health and stronger support for social tenants facing domestic abuse."

According to the Scottish Environment Protection Agency (Sepa), the pollution happened because the Royal Navy failed to properly maintain a network of 1,500 pipes at the Royal Naval Armaments Depot at Coulport on Loch Long in Argyll.

The flooding was caused by “shortfalls in maintenance” and resulted in “unnecessary radioactive waste”, Sepa said. Plans to replace the ageing pipes at risk of failing and spreading radioactivity were “sub-optimal”, it warned.

Sepa was concerned about a “lack of asset management” at Coulport, and at the nearby naval base at Faslane, by Helensburgh, the home port for submarines armed with Trident nuclear missiles.

The documents released by Sepa suggested that up to half of the components in use at Coulport were “beyond design life” in 2020.

If Keir Starmer wants a positive relationship with the Scottish Government, he needs to get his Environment Secretary to retract his totally inaccurate comments about Scotland’s water.

Labour Minister on Lewis Goodall on English Water-“ you just need to look north of the border to Scotland where water pollution is much worse than in England and it’s nationalised.” It’s not even fudging facts, or playing with statistics, it’s outright lying. Vote SNP in HR26!
