  1. ⚡🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 MSPs have backed a motion calling for #energy powers to be devolved to the #Scottish Parliament. Energy Minister Stephen Gethins said greater control would help #Scotland lower bills, tackle fuel poverty and support jobs by shaping policies around the country’s energy resources.

    Speaking at Holyrood, Mr Gethins argued Scotland produces large amounts of energy but households continue to face rising costs under #Westminster control. He said devolved powers would allow Scotland to expand renewable energy, improve energy security and reduce exposure to international price shocks.

    The Scottish Government will now press #UK ministers to begin formal discussions on transferring energy responsibilities. The motion stated that “Scotland’s energy should be in Scotland’s hands” and called for all energy powers to be devolved immediately.

  15. Watching the Political elite who forced Brexit on us, now bend over backwards defending their mess while at the same time saying we need to be closer to Europe.

    This is exactly why people turn off from Westminster, the gaslighting and doublethink. Many of us are not stupid, we are insulted by these weak tricks.
