Iain Macwhirter Lest we forget: “They failed. They failed utterly. They were left with the stench of excreta on their breath, and an appalling assassination documentary from BBC Scotland documentary produced to suit a guilty verdict, rendered bogus by a judge and jury.” grousebeater.wordpress.com/2024/11/30/the…

Not just a Cancer on our Coasts — but Carnage on our Coasts. Another brutal reminder of what Scotland’s “blue economy” really looks like behind the PR gloss: 🔹 One worker killed 🔹 Dozens injured 🔹 A long list of safety failures 🔹 And an industry that continues to expand

The whole of Scotland should listen to this and understand it. It’s about our future posterity, the economic case for an independent Scotland, energy is pivotal to our future as an independent nation. If you don’t understand that then it’s time you did. Geoff speaks honestly and

The greatest commentary in the history of commentary

Oh FFS! The North East has fuelled the UK for over forty years. The industry is being dismantled, disincentivised, and drained like a bloody battery to be discarded. I am truly sick to the back teeth of Westminster fucking up the lives of so many people. Simply put, we need our

It would seem there are no plans to make changes to the Energy Profits Levy. I would therefore expect to see increasing numbers of jobs lost in Scotland - especially Aberdeen - and more companies leaving. This is political, economic and strategic lunacy. Energy Voice

The devolution lesson for all Scottish arms of UK parties is that your Westminster colleagues don’t listen, and don’t care. They’ll throw you under the bus, then reverse over you. More from me on this on tomorrow’s Holyrood Sources Budget special, and in the The Herald

An abomination that our country continues to be harmed by Westminster policies and punitive tax regimes. No more taxes she said last year. Lies, lies and more damned lies !

"By their own metric, there is no windfall." "If the oil and gas industry was on the banks of the River Thames as opposed to the banks of the River Dee would we be having this conversation?" "You can't win an election with a backdrop of deindustrialisation and mass

Good letter in the P&J today against chief yoon Ian Lakin.

World Cup Bore ! #FIFAWorldCup #FIFAWorldCup

It’s time Ivan McKee MSP and The SNP acted on the disastrous environmental consequences of cosying up to the Salmafia. Including helping to wipe out wild salmon and sea trout. Sustainable Inshore Fisheries Trust (SIFT) & WildFish have published a report & it’s absolutely damning. sift.scot/updates/sift-a…

Scott McTominay a surprise omission from #SPOTY short-list? Won Scudetto, voted Serie A Player of the Year, nominated for Ballon d’Or, helped Scotland qualify for World Cup, scored vital/spectacular goal against Denmark that’s surely a Puskas Awards contender. Amazing year 👏

Whatever the colour of your politics. It’s unconscionable that an MSP carrying out due diligence in the course of his duties is threatened by BIGCO bullying with threats of legal action. Aquaculture is attracting a lot of heat because it’s a very contentious industry with a lot

Always love our Christmas dinner ❤️

Greenwashing from FishFarms and reality juxtaposed. Why does Rural Affairs and Islands Committee continue to allow this awful industry to grow and harm our beautiful country ?

This news is very encouraging and hopefully will bring more pressure to the Atlantic basin from Fish Farm Harms. It may be a pivotal moment. I can only hope so. Many congratulations to those who have fought hard and won a landmark ruling👏🏻
