Diesel fuel in Scotland is over £2 a litre for the first time ever - double what it was ten years ago. Westminster is responsible for the energy market.

Scotland's still an afterthought. Scotch whisky is the UK's biggest food & drink export, and it has protected status. Now the UK Labour Government have decided to water that down, by granting the same protection to English whisky/whiskey. www.snp.org/whisky-shows...

We don't hear much from Better Together these days. Their £1,400 "Union dividend" from 2014 has been wiped out by Brexit, which is costing everyone in Scotland £3,000 a year. Even though Scotland said "no thanks" to Brexit. www.snp.org/2014-revisit...

Free bus travel from 60 in Scotland. In England, you wait until 66. That means older Scots can save more than £1,000 a year getting around. That’s the difference an SNP government on Scotland’s side can make.
