When exactly did governments hand over control of our economies to the bond market and when are they going to take it back? @richardjmurphy.bsky.social

The first stage of the EU's hydrogen refuelling station programme is under way with one station being installed initially every 200Km along their major routes. Why isn't Scotland doing this?

I'd urge ppl to go to the website linked below There are many facts and figures I was certainly unaware of It's also only right that Scotland should benefit from ALL the revenue raised from Scotch Whisky not just the 8% we're "given" I hope these figures can show the UN how we're being ripped off

What we have now is not a conventional trading situation. China is using trade as a political and economic tool. It's determined to dominate global manufacturing because of the political clout that would give it. So as a minimum I'd impose international sanctions. I'd also ban all advertising.

Anas Sarwar quitting ScotLab confirms old suspicions. In the branch office, promotion to head office is the stuff of dreams. Holyrood is always the lesser gig. Joining the world’s 2nd largest unelected chamber is always unproblematic. Rotten legacy for new leader www.thenational.scot/politics/264...

I'm not sorry to see Anas Sarwar stand down as Scottish Labour leader; I think he should have done so immediately following the disastrous loss in May. But doing it now to take up a junior ministerial job in Westminster sends a terrible message about what Labour thinks of Scotland. Really terrible.

I was a member of the Scottish govt's Energy Advisory Board when Nicola was FM and I can assure people that it's highly unlikely she had any idea at all as to what Murrell was up to & almost certainly wouldn't have even thought to ask about where the money came from to buy all those goodies.

I'll just remind Andy Burnham, As I have done with every Labour politician I've ever interacted with that the founding Father of the Labour party Keir Hardie (not Hardy as was misspelled at a conference years ago) that he argued for full devolution & home rule.
