@BrianBengal @Davo_Mack @joe_yer99 If i was a bot, don't you think I'd have more followers? I don't give a shit who follows me, I just get irked by the incessant pish spewed on here. And you closing down debate by blocking me and calling me a bot is nationalist 101.

@BrianBengal @Davo_Mack @joe_yer99 Nationalists believe in democracy the way MAGA believes in free speech. You leverage the democracy card but as soon as you get a "yes" the book will close, no matter how much of a shit show follows.

Scotland hasn’t voted for a right wing government since 1955 Yet since then we have spent 47 years under right wing rule Now we are facing being ruled by a far right UK Party…. despite voting overwhelmingly for a socialist party. Do you blame us for seeking Independence?

@Johni1967 @chicco650 @danielgoyal You're comparing apples with oranges. The 38m figure refers to benefits as being value of access to NHS, schools etc. Basically you need to earn ~£35+ to be a net contributor. Under that criteria, scotland is also a bit higher. No matter how you cut the data scotland gets more.

@chicco650 @Slumber200 @danielgoyal In total, yes. 52% of households receive benefits but there is only one claimant per household. A household includes children. The total beneficiaries in Scotland is lower than the uk total. 38 million peole. 57% of the uk are benefit beneficiaries.

@GMacdonaldSNP You think scotland would shirk all its debt if it left the UK? Sure that would set up friendly post split relations.

Scotland has to contribute over £9 billion a year towards UK government debt as part of the UK. Remember that when reading GERS! 💵 Debt Interest Paid Today: £71.16m £109bn/year. ~£3,455/sec. ukdecline.co.uk

@JamesKelly Scotland's in exactly the same place. Led by populists who deliver nothing but new gimmicks every election cycle.

Roger is correct about one thing: Scotland is a better place than it was a week ago thanks to the SNP manifesto. Food affordability for all is now on the agenda, as it should be.
Roger White@rogerlwhite

A week ago no one in Scottish politics spoke of capping food prices. Now, anyone who voices any doubts about the idea no matter how reasoned must hate poor people, doesn't care about Scotland, is a mad raving yoon etc etc. The SNP do not do serious politics.

@williew97931391 Never mind the bit where they use covid-era figures for comparison. Cherry-picked misleading bullshit for the sheep who complain about MSM but get their "facts" from their echo chambers.

@williew97931391 1. Deliberately excludes devolved tax & welfare powers. 2. Scotlands population share has declined. 3. Convergence is structural, not political 4. Scotland still got £2578 per head more than UK average 5. Largest real terms settlement for scotland since devolution began.

@LesBlair53 @Allan119517 No, but maybe take into account that it was opposed by SSE, Scottish Power, Centrica plus ~50 other UK companies including a ton of renewables developers and RenewablesUK trade body plus unions GMB, Unite, and Unison and other trade bodies inc. UK Steel and UK ceramics.

@kevin_kjf @LesBlair53 Because as usual its very nuanced. IScot would have cheaper prices on windy days but the volatility would discourage investment. Would need to boost leccy demand in scotland which is a gdp opportunity but also by design increases prices - see data centre impact in US for e.g.

@LesBlair53 So why are unionist parties pushing the contrary - apart from obvious reasons?

@LesBlair53 @admt62 Hmm. Depends on how you define subsidy. Renewables get more actual subsidies (cash transfers). Oil and gas benefits from tax breaks sometimes deemed subsidies but pretty normal business tax rules. And their tax rate is generally higher than any other business.

@mdf200 Oil and gas, upstream and downstream, operate on cost curves. Expensive assets get canned / dont get developed. No one holds back capacity for redundancy. You want to move down the cost curve govt needs to reduce tax and /or offer incentives. But no one seems to want that either.

@JillBelch I think its worth investigating but the problem is that it would kill investment.
