🗣 “He’s running scared of a general election, just as he’s running scared of an independence referendum.”

The new unelected Prime Minister:

“We inherited a bunch of formulas from Labour that shoved all the funding into deprived urban areas and that needed to be undone. I started the work of undoing that.”

A devastating assessment of the damage done by the Tory Brexit from a prominent Tory supporter. And the Tories want to give us another Brexiteer Prime Minister. Scotland should choose our own future.

The Tories cannot be allowed to impose a third Prime Minister without an election.

I've written to Keir Starmer making clear The SNP will back a vote of no confidence in the Tory government if he tables it this week. We must put maximum pressure on Tory MPs to give voters a say.

It's UK Wind Energy Week 2022! Scotland’s #onshore and #offshore wind industry generates enough electricity to power the equivalent of 6.7 million homes, that’s more than double the number of homes in Scotland! Join us in celebrating #UKWEW22 , which runs until Friday.

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 As the Tories seek to impose upon Scotland another Prime Minister that we didn’t vote for, let’s remind ourselves of our huge potential and build a better, independent future - one where we will always get the Government that we vote for.

Just watched the Deputy Prime Minister practically pick up a hesitant Tory MP and march him into the Government lobby. Astonishing.

Monday - Energy Price ‘Guarantee’ to end in April.

Tuesday - Mortgage rates hit fresh 14 year high.

Wednesday - Inflation returns to 40 year high.

The costs of their failed economic experiment will be borne by the public.

What a sorry, scary, mess the UK is in.

❌ A Government Scotland didn’t vote for.

❌ Led by a Chancellor Scotland didn’t vote for.

❌ Imposing cuts Scotland didn’t vote for.

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 It’s time.

Yesterday the Tories pulled most of their energy support package.
The SNP had an 'on the day' motion to force Govt to come back to Parliament confirming future support, protecting most vulnerable and reporting on fuel poverty.
Labour abstained.🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

It passed unnoticed, but there was a really significant report into tidal stream yesterday

These aren't lagoons, but devices in the water harnessing tidal flows (e.g. below)

They're set to become game-changingly cost competitive. Cheaper than nuclear🧵

She’d have been better staying under that desk.

Quote of the Day - from Nicola Sturgeon:

'It is glaringly obvious now that the UK does not offer economic strength and stability, or financial security.' #indyref2

🗣 “Who does she consider does a u-turn better, the Prime Minister or Douglas Ross MP MSP?”

NEW: Labour have been told Penny Mordaunt will take Liz Truss’s place in the Commons for Keir Starmer’s urgent question.

First she reverted to Rishi Sunak’s economic policies, now she’s asking her other leadership rival Penny Mordaunt to speak on her behalf. Humiliating.
