I am opposed to mandatory digital ID - people should be able to go about their daily lives without such infringements. That aside, by calling it BritCard, the Prime Minister seems to be attempting to force every Scot to declare ourselves British. I am a Scot. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Us as voters can wait up to five years for a chance to change the UK Government, the 'markets' can get rid of a Prime Minister in less than 50 days. The most overlooked part of Liz Truss's legacy is how it shifted power from ballots to billionaires. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Liz Truss is long gone – but her fiscal meltdown still dictates every step Labour makes | Max Mosley

A jittery No 10 now seeks the market’s approval for everything. The result? Cruel cuts and a fear of desperately needed public spending, says economist Max Mosley

A great day in Ellon with Nestrans (North East Scotland Transport Partnership)! We saw the work done at Ellon Wheel Park, Ellon Park & Ride and the Formartine and Buchan Way, spoke with Ythan Cycle Club, got a shot on some adaptive bikes, and then I chaired today's meeting in Formartine House.

In Peterhead today with @jackiedunbarsnp.bsky.social and Alan Petrie (on behalf of @karenadamsnp.bsky.social) Some great opening remarks from Seamus Logan MP Peterhead is a cornerstone of the North East's energy industry and it has a key role to play in our region's energy transition

Successive UK Governments have let children go hungry under the guise of "balancing the books" But there's no better investment than giving children the best start in life That's why @snp.org is scrapping the two-child cap We're using what powers we have to create a better future for Scotland

Michael Hutchison @snpmichael.bsky.social · 10/06/2025

Scotland already produces more than enough energy for our needs. Folk are paying fortunes for energy to subsidise the rest of the UK. Meanwhile, if Labour want energy jobs in Scotland, why are they overseeing hundreds of jobs being lost in the North East every single week?

Stephen Kerr just told the Scottish Parliament that median earnings in Scotland were "significantly" below the UK figure of £37,480. But he's not compared like-for-like... The full figures are at avtrinity.com/news/what-is... It shows median earnings in Scotland are £289 HIGHER than for the UK!

Today, I asked @johnswinney.bsky.social about the recent job losses at Harbour Energy, who blame the UK Government's excessive windfall tax. The UK Government have ignored warnings about job losses, treated Aberdeen as a cashcow, and is undermining efforts to deliver a Just Transition.

The UK Government is failing the North East, failing to act on energy job losses, failing to invest in a Just Transition, and is treating us as a cash cow! They could change that by giving the green light to the Acorn Carbon Capture and Storage project (Video credit: @snp.org/@parliament.scot)

A Facebook post from Stephen Flynn MP which reads:

"They told us we’d never leave the EU.

They told us we’d never have Boris Johnson as PM.

They told us Labour would deliver change.

They will tell us they can stop Nigel Farage holding power.

Britain is broken.

Let’s take control of our own destiny as an independent nation."

In April 2011, median full-time earnings in the UK were £26,100, equivalent to £37,398.35 in 2024. In 2024, median full-time earnings was £37,430. Across 13 years, UK wages grew by just 0.12% in real terms. Can we end austerity yet? It's clearly not working for working people!

Business confidence is at its lowest since Truss crashed the economy. Tariffs are causing fear & uncertainty. The prospects of economic growth are plummeting. It’s time for Labour to ditch their tax on jobs & reverse their decision to hike Employer’s National Insurance.

We're generating record amounts of energy but far too many folk can't afford to heat their homes. The UK is fundamentally broken, and not working for us. With independence we could actually reduce bills. We have the energy, we just need the power! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Labour promised to cut energy bills by £300. Instead, bills went up in January and they went up again today. People across Scotland are paying the price of Labour’s broken promises - we deserve better.
