Delighted to join @ProsperScot's new podcast.
@ProsperScotCEO and I spoke about current economic & fiscal challenges but also why we should (and must) be optimistic about Scotland's economic future.
They have great guests lined up, so worth tuning in to future episodes.
“We’re going to see over the next decade, radical change in our economy”
On the first episode of our new podcast, @ProfGraemeRoy explores whether the mission for Scotland’s economy to be fair, green and growing can be achieved.

A lot happened yesterday but this quote from John Reid in the Lords is a belter 😂

Worth a go I’d say
The UK must significantly increase the use of these technologies. By 2030, we need to see:
- New electric car sales need to go from 16.5% -> to nearly 100%
- Heat pump installations need to go from 1% to 10%
- Increases in offshore wind x3⃣, onshore wind x2⃣, solar x5⃣
ALT One of our key indicators on roll-out of low-carbon technologies is on track (public electric vehicle chargepoints), eight are off track (battery electric car and van shares of total sales, residential heat pump installations, electricity used in industry, offshore wind, onshore wind and solar operational capacities, unabated gas share of electricity generation).

It will deliver for all four nations of the UK and all four corners of Scotland. We promised change. This King’s speech demonstrates we are rolling up our sleeves and delivering that change.”
All credit for amplifying the issues affecting our rural and island communities. Nice idea @geoffaberdein 😉! @ProsperScot thinking has been shaped by our event in Stornoway last Summer.
🆕🎧 The first stop of the Islands Tour: Lews Castle, Stornoway.
@CalumAM, @akmaciver and @geoffaberdein are joined by new Labour MP for Na h-Eileanan an Iar @Torcuil in front of a live audience.

I do like a Mint Imperial! Nice touch @AGinsight. Thanks for the catch up in Edinburgh this morning.
This is my kind of post match analysis. @ArtyBagger this is a rich seam. Do you do golf too?

I've got Spain in The National's charity sweepstake, but after that front page, I'm out. It's boorish, offensive and embarassing, and I don't want associated with it. Should Spain win, I'll make my own contribution to my chosen charity.
