The Labour Party has just made our reality even worse - their plan will make Scots pay more for our gas.
Westminster and Treasury are making billions from Scotland’s gas while making our people pay more.
Time to put Scotland’s energy in Scotland’s hands.

Wait a minute, on gas prices...
By moving the cost of the standing charge on to the unit rate - has Andy Burnham actually just put up energy bills for the majority of Scots?
We are colder country & have to put the heating on more, the more gas we use, the higher price we pay!
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Doogan himself has stood in the House of Commons and demanded the redistribution of the standing charge to the unit price claiming it will lower bills and reduce carbon emissions.

Make no mistake about it this is a disaster for the media landscape in Scotland. We have been successively failed by the BBC and repeatedly short changed in what we contribute. Has been the case since they failed to devolve broadcasting in the Scotland Act thenational.scot/news/266544…

🏴 @TheSNP Scottish Government continues to champion fair work, supporting higher wages and tackling in-work poverty. With around 76,000 workers set to benefit as the Real Living Wage rises to £14.10 an hour, putting more money in people's pockets and supporting families.
Scotland is paying the price for Westminster control.
