To put this into perspective, when energy prices surged at the start of the Ukraine war, our community hydro scheme - despite being hobbled by an unfair UK energy market - funded a £150 cost of living payment to every local household.
The UK Government couldn't even match that.

Chancellor removes gas standing charges, as we argued when I was Chair if the Commons Energy Committee.
But he has left electricity standing charges.
Not a budget mindful of people in islands and rural areas, who have no gas option!

Gb energy. Where labour promised 53000 jobs and got 10. We see you. The voters will as well.

🗣️ Westminster has finally admitted that Scotland should have had an oil fund worth at least £1 trillion. Scotland’s vast energy wealth has been squandered. Scotland must not lose out again. Every penny of energy wealth from Scotland’s waters must be reinvested into Scotland!

When Labour came to power, the price cap was £1,414 and they promised to cut bills by £300.
Now, new EDF forecasts show the price cap hitting £2,389 in April – £1,275 higher than promised.
Only with independence, can we cut bills and build a better fairer future for Scotland.

Half our village is without power this morning because of Storm Boelo. Building a nuclear power station in Scotland wouldn't have prevented that.
Going off grid and using long term hydrogen storage would have.

Here’s a Labour Chancellor hiding the truth from the people of Scotland. Not so much a “conspiracy” as a matter of recorded history. Yet there are still those who seek to deceive.

When Burnham tells you he wants Scotland to be more like Manchester was this what he had in mind. Remember this was under Burnhams watch

Oh look say @STVNews 'Rosebank crude will go to Dutch refinery as no suitable refinery capacity in Yow Kay.'
No mention that country whose oil is being siphoned now has no refinery.
Grangemouth was sabotaged (passive industrial) by UK Gov in cahoots with Ratcliffe's @PetroineosGM

💥 NEW: Prepare for food shortages and disruption, Wes Streeting warns, on day one of three year campaign to make the public more resilient.
Britons should have enough food, water, cash and medical supplies to last three days. Make a "grab bag" in case you have to leave home and keep essentials in the car boot.
If you have a baby, make sure you have enough baby formula and nappies.
Dan Jarvis, the security minister, says: "Those who can flow this advice should"

As a side note, Norway is allowed to withdraw a maximum of 3% of the fund’s estimated real return each year to help fund the national budget. Just think what that could have paid for in Scotland. The total fund is worth around £320,000 for every Norwegian citizen.

Britain’s missing sovereign wealth fund… Treasury officials have modelled that had the UK done what Norway did with North Sea revenues, there would be a £1 trillion fund…
As Chancellor sets up Energy Wealth Fund, a look at the long historical argument about where the oil windfall went, including from interviews with those who have run Norways $2.4 trillion fund, now the biggest in the world, filled from the proceeds of the same North Sea.

Grangemouth's promised £200 million has been really worrying me, so you can imagine my relief this morning when i heard Burnham is putting £220 million to repair England's potholes, to all the fuds who voted labour in Grangemouth & surrounding districts how'd that work out GIRFUY

Scotland’s missing sovereign wealth fund. Treasury officials have modelled that had Labour done what Norway did with North Sea revenues, there would be a £1 trillion fund. Instead they told us the oil would soon run out.
Stand by for an apology from Gordon Brown & Co….

It was a Labour Chancellor, Denis Healey, who was in office when Westminster kept the McCrone Report secret from Scotland.
Published in 1974, it warned North Sea oil could make an independent Scotland extraordinarily wealthy. It remained secret until 2005.
‘We'd have a British sovereign wealth fund now that will be worth probably a trillion pounds’
Chancellor @JohnHealey_MP suggests what Britain could have gained if it had set up an energy wealth fund like Norway’s back in the 1980s

Now, how could the parliament of a state that was ''supposedly'' dissolved nearly a century earlier pass an act?
Unless that state annexed Scotland & continued.
