Blowing through all the ScotWind cash (on day-to-day spending) within three years. What a farce. And a farce perpetrated by this sequence of Cabinet Secretaries: Kate Forbes, John Swinney, Shona Robison.

Both Daniel Johnson MSP and Alex Cole-Hamilton MSP🔶🇺🇦 asked the obvious question about the £460m ScotWind raid: how is Scot Gov going to find that money in next year’s budget? Shona Robison seemed not even to understand the question, never mind to have an answer. She simply isn’t up to the job.

Almost half of the Scottish Government's shortfall this year is being made up from one-off raid on ScotWind cash. Not invested for our future, but instead thrown into the SNP's black hole. 17 years of SNP incompetence means Scots pay more and get less.

The SNP is throwing away ScotWind money to fill their fiscal black hole. This will be the legacy of 17 years of the SNP. One-off money that we could have invested in Scotland, instead being used to cover their gross incompetence.

“the SNP is now managing decline and they have no one else to blame.” Powerful condemnation of SNP financial incompetence from Paul Hutcheon

I’m old enough to remember when John Swinney made a name for himself railing against the use of energy revenues to fund day to day spending.

I hosted an Ehlers-Danlos syndrome roundtable to bring together Ehlers-Danlos Support UK, parliamentary colleagues, clinicians and those with lived experience of the condition to discuss EDS and particularly the pressing need to establish new care pathways. Thank you to all who attended.

The SNP have taken £460m of ScotWind cash meant for energy transition jobs in the North East of Scotland and thrown it into their fiscal black hole. Instead of investing for the next 3 decades, they are just trying to get through the next 3 months.

Absolutely delighted at the UK Labour government award of £30m to life sciences at University of Dundee. The School of Life Sciences has pioneered ground-breaking research, and now this funding will advance the fight against Parkinson's and Crohn's.  #FMQs

Great news for the University of Dundee and our city. A UK Labour Government investing in Dundee's excellent life sciences research. I was pleased to raise this good news story with the First Minister today in Parliament.

Great British Energy will create jobs, boost energy independence, and ensure UK taxpayers, billpayers and communities reap the rewards of clean, secure, homegrown energy. My statement during Parliament earlier today 👇

Enjoyed talking with The Ponsonby and Massie Podcast at the end of a very, very busy Parliamentary week. Scottish Government’s fiscal incompetence, Labour history, jute unions, our plan to serve and a pint of Moretti.

More good news for University of Dundee - they have been awarded Scottish University of the Year. A huge congratulations to students and staff, and recognition of all to their hard work.
