@4thcraw @IndyLassie @Thewiseman1234 Yes Iโm wrong. ๐
And are you also of the view that a tariff should be applied to โexportsโ of electricity to consumers & businesses south of the border?
English
Scotland is a major net exporter of electricity to England.
Roughly 13.9 to 19.7
TWh valued at ยฃ1.5 billion is exported annually to England for free.

When you're shivering in your house and fearful of turning up the heating due to massive energy bills, then remember Labour rejected Zonal Pricing for Scotland as he didn't want people in England paying more Labour is an England 1st Party!

@cuillin_glen @IndyLassie @Thewiseman1234 The official statistics treat electricity flows across the ScotlandโEngland boundary as national imports and exports, regardless of which companies operate the power stations or trade the energy. Your wrong, and you know you are.
English
@4thcraw @IndyLassie @Thewiseman1234 Zzzz. Whataboutery.
As I said private companies sell the electricity to consumers and businesses in England at market prices.
English
@cuillin_glen @IndyLassie @Thewiseman1234 Aye, right. Your statement is the most ludicrous, Trumpian even, thing you've said on here. I quoted straight from a Government source. Glen is now denying Scotland exists, it's only a landmass. Traitor to your country of birth. Or is it your country of birth?
English
@4thcraw @IndyLassie @Thewiseman1234 Scotland is a landmass.
Private companies supply electricity at market rates.

@cuillin_glen @IndyLassie @Thewiseman1234 Scotland is a net exporter of electricity. In 2023, the equivalent of 33.8% of electricity generated in Scotland was exported: 13.9 TWh to England and Wales, and 2.0 TWh to Northern Ireland. Source: Energy Statistics for Scotland - Q3 2024

@IndyLassie @Thewiseman1234 Scotland doesnโt supply electricity to England. Thatโs some weird made up thing some people like to repeat.
You think a tariff should be applied to electricity supplied to consumers and buisineses in England?

@BornonLoveStre1 @dotcomraid @IanMurrayMP Onshore oil and gas licensing in Scotland covers exploration and extractionโnot refineries. Refineries fall under a completely different regulatory regime and are not part of the devolved onshore licensing powers.

@dotcomraid @IanMurrayMP Onshore oil facilities are NOT reserved.

It was first in my in-tray too as Scottish secretary but it was simply too late as Tories & SNP done nothing to prevent closure.
It suddenly became of interest to SNP & Tories after the โ24 Election.
Charlatans that sat on their hands.
Weโve delivered nearly ยฃ500m in response.

Day 1 as Energy Minister Grangemouth was the first thing in my in-tray. The Tories had done absolutely nothing despite knowing the issues. No plan. Not even a call to the Scottish Government. In 13 years not a single meeting with all of the UK's refineries. A shameful record.

In England I get free prescriptions, so does my husband, and daughter. @thesnp are lying as usual
Free Entitlement: Those over 60, under 16 (or 16-18 in education), pregnant, or with specific medical exemptions (e.g., cancer, diabetes) qualify.

@GreaterFireweed @Wass2020 @theSNP You also don't get free primary or secondary school, free bin collections, free A&E care etc etc.
But they are all free at the point of use, exactly the same as prescriptions. Your point is moronic.

Last year Britain lost a THIRD of its refineries.
Why? A Carbon Tax on industry that Ed Miliband doubled.
We wonโt need any less petrol, diesel, jet fuel, ceramics or chemicals - we'll just rely more on foreign imports.
We must axe the Carbon Tax and save British industry.

@1974PJM @angrywokebunny @DAaronovitch @ClaireCoutinho No she couldnโt. Because it was in Scotland and itโs a devolved responsibility and the Scottish govt did nothing.

A Scottish Labour government will end the SNPโs scandalous failures on young peopleโs mental health - introducing a national neurodiversity pathway, immediate CAMHS support, and community link workers.
Young Scots deserve a First Minister that will get the basics right.

Hi Anus Sarwar and Michael Shanks. Please explain the rejection of a ยฃ1.5billion clean energy investment in Scotland, by China. At the same time you promote ยฃbillions unspecified, cost to us, nuclear. You seek votes, but wantonly abuse your voters. #ScottishIndependence
