🧵Our new report with @FoEScot and Transition Economics has put a number on what Reform UK's climate policy rollback would actually cost: nearly 500,000 jobs destroyed within 3 years. That's comparable to almost every teacher in the UK losing their job. Here's what we found 👇

@whyteforAEast Thanks very much for joining us last night and for your participation. You can watch a recording of the event at youtube.com/watch?v=VQUPcV…

I enjoyed the @FoEScot hustings this evening. I stood my ground on the importance of oil and gas to Aberdeen, my support for a genuine energy mix - renewables, oil & gas and new nuclear. I also expressed my support for Aberdeen’s green spaces, restoring home economics in schools.

"Making sure we can get from A to B." A new “Better Buses for Grampian” campaign by @FoEScot has launched calling for buses to return to public control, with Michelle Marshall telling That’s TV it would deliver a more reliable and affordable service.

We can bring down energy bills for the long term by backing renewables and ensuring our homes don’t waste energy. More oil drilling will only benefit oil companies & their wealthy shareholders. foe.scot/the-war-in-ira…

Fossil fuel bosses are only interested in themselves. 🤑 Calls for new North Sea drilling are a cynical attempt to exploit this latest crisis.😡

"It is frankly delusional for ministers to think that carbon capture technology, which has no working plant, no planning application and now without its key backer, can deliver the level of emissions cuts required in Scotland within a decade" - @FoEScot morningstaronline.co.uk/article/close-…

Carbon capture projects have a long history of failure, often before construction, meaning that the much-needed jobs promised never materialise. Decision-makers must reject this proposal and sit down with workers to plan a route to secure renewables jobs instead.

Developers SSE also admit that 75% of any construction jobs would go to people outside the Aberdeenshire area. Despite making £2.4 billion profit in 2024/25, SSE announced 300 redundancies in April 2025.
