Research shows that Scotland’s food and drink exports were worth over £7 billion last year alone, equivalent to £1,311 per person in Scotland. 👀 Imagine the potential if Scotland were an independent nation back in the European Union.

a) "Once in a generation" wasn't said by the SNP and wasn't their policy - it was a campaign comment by Alex Salmond to encourage people to get out and vote. b) Reeves comments play straight into UN case - i.e. denial of any right to decide Scotland's future. c) She's only too aware of polling.

So, if I get this right, the UK Labour Gov's EV policy is to penalise people who need to drive longer distances in their electric cars. 3 miles in a city, fine. 25 rural miles to go to the nearest supermarket, hammer them hard. Do these people never think things through properly 😬🙄
