@Ed_Miliband You cancelled plans for Scotland to become a world leading manufacturer of wind turbines. Labour has no problem waving away so called “security concerns” for London’s massive Chinese embassy though. Difficult to conclude anything but Labour are deliberately damaging Scotland.

We’re investing £64m to transform Port Talbot into Wales' first floating offshore wind hub.
That means 5,000 good jobs, £500m of investment and enough clean power for 6.5m homes.
We are putting Wales at the heart of our clean energy superpower mission.

@AngusBMacNeil Funny that the SNPs defence spokesperson Stewart McDonald asked for this to be blocked
English
Energy vandalism of Milliband blocking best wind energy turbines being built at Ardersier has to be challenged.
The economic vadalsim to the Highland economy has to be challenged too.
People like Trump and Milliband using "national security" as an excuse has to be stopped.

@hbkeenan @BBCRadioStoke gov.uk/honours/nomina…
Easy enough to recommend someone for an honour tbh, loads of ordinary people get them every year
English
@BBCRadioStoke Deserves an honour but unlike so many of those given them, he does not schmooze, he just gets on with the good work, unheralded and unseen. Time to overhaul an honours system that is not fit for purpose.

@_JamieMcIntyre Did Steward McDonald (SNP defence spokesperson) not ask the government to nlock to this. So the SNP position is object on security grounds and then bitch about it like a teenage girl when their objections are recognised and the project is blocked.
English
Allowing people in the UK to buy literally millions of Chinese-made internet-connected devices - phones, tablets, laptops, smart TVs etc - & then refusing permission for a Chinese wind turbine factory on 'security' grounds suggests you are either disingenuous or can't assess risk

@J4m35c4mpb3ll I take it you didn’t get high marks in interpretation? The post is about the NHS. The energy being referred to is the enthusiasm within the Labour Party.
I would assume you are an SNP staffer
English
This is a totally misleading post.
(1) Energy is a reserved matter (English Gvt hold the powers)
(2) Labour are already in charge of Energy ( they have been - for approaching 2 years & energy bills have continually risen.
Stop trying to gaslight Scots - it no longer works.

@firthoforth No I wouldn’t support it in an election that would be silly, however in a referendum on a single question you want to know the opinion of the majority of the populace on that one issue. Elections and referendums are 2 very different things.
English
@Copland200 So you would support that policy in elections now, would you? Everyone who stays at home votes for the sitting government party by default? You must be a butcher, because you're talking mince.
English
In 1979 Scotland voted 51.6% to 48.4% in favour of a Scottish Assembly. But Westminster had inserted a "booby trap"—the Cunningham Amendment, which required 40% of the electorate to vote Yes. The dead, the moved-away, the disenfranchised—all were counted as "No" votes by default.

@hol40900 They didn’t rescue us in the 50’s when we were winning a SE Asian war against communism whilst they were getting their butts kicked and eventually running away home in disgrace

457 Brits died in Afghanistan. 179 in Iraq. British forces are still there today.

Actor Daniel Craig is being called a poor parent online for saying,
"If your kid is bullying my kid, my kid has been instructed to punch your kid in the face."
Critics say it teaches violence to children.
Is his parenting style "violent," or a good lesson in self defense?

In case you didn't know it, Maori almost defeated the British Empire.
This is what happens when you are fed a diet of false excellence.
And Enpire that ruled over 25% of the world's population almost defeated by a stone age culture in New Zealand?

@TheNzRocketeer The Aztecs had no metal, yet they became a dual-continent spanning empire. They simply just made different tools and weapons to work around it. Their own systems of government. And then they got the closest to beating the British anyone among AUNZ ever got.

@JohnCleese I’m sure Ghana, as a country that profited massively from the slave trade, will be front and centre at offering funds to the ancestors of slaves.

@Ross_Greer It’s not homophobic. It’s a crap joke ( no pun intended) please explain why you think it’s homophobic
English
If you have to literally check the definition of homophobia in a dictionary and compare it to your own behaviour, you were being homophobic.
Rich boys like Offord just can't cope with being held to account for their conduct.

@JeremyVineOn5 Trans ‘women’ are not banned though they are more than free to compete if they qualify.
English
Is it right to ban trans women from the Olympics?
Transgender women will be banned from competing in female events at the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics and beyond.
They says this is to protect ‘fairness and safety’.
What do you think of this?

TO THE PEOPLE OUTSIDE OF SCOTLAND..
Our voting system is NOT LIKE YOURS.
We have a system that was designed to STOP the SNP having a majority in our so -called Devolved Parliament.
English Parties can stand Candidates and gain seats WITHOUT being directly elected.
A FIX, or what?
