Alex Cole-Hamilton: Scotland 'can never and should never exist again' YouTube video by The National

The Lib Dems message to 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 is "Change with fairness at its heart". I've no idea what that means, and their very sparse election leaflet and linked web site don't explain.

My god…

Crude oil prices, showing a very sharp increase in the last day, from around 65 to 101 dollars per barrel..

Oil prices wouldn't be all over the news today if more of our economy was powered by local, secure renewable energy.

This isn't an "energy crisis". It's a fossil fuel crisis.

44% of UK electricity came from renewables in 2025. More of that plus an electrified economy => no more oil shocks.

Clocks don't change in the UK till last Sunday in March, so come and visit Stonehenge then!

The Scottish deposit scheme was a hot mess, devised and mangled by the Scottish Greens (separate from the English & Welsh Greens). It deserved to go down in flames and no one could have been more frustrated than I, having been brought up in Boston with a well-functioning D&R programme.
