🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Ask yourself, if YOU were an undecided voter, what would make you MORE LIKELY to support independence; The collaboration of POSITIVE individuals working TOGETHER and laying out the positive case, or watching those same ambassadors fighting among themselves? 🤔💁 #IndyRef2

Thing about "the bad ones" though is they're doing it for free 💁 #thismorning

@owenjonesjourno I campaigned for independence in 2014 and for the SNP since. They never fail to surprise you 🙄

One of the most surreal answers I've ever been given.

@simongerman600 Holy Smoke! I just discovered Chubby Checker's still alive! 😲

The death of Brigitte Bardot necessitated the update of this marvelous chart. Only three people mentioned in Billy Joel's banger "We Didn't Start The Fire" are still alive. Source: reddit.com/r/dataisbeauti…

@fergustp @staylorish 🤔UK Government’s own data says otherwise. AR4 offshore wind cleared at ~£37/MWh and AR6 at ~£59 (2012 prices) both below new gas and miles under Hinkley’s £92.50+. And when you add grid + storage, whole-system studies still find renewables cheaper overall.

@Greg8535937 @staylorish New wind CFD’s don’t undercut new gas and barely undercut nuclear, in fact when you add in system costs nuclear will be cheaper. Auction prices are rising and since they are struggling to get a return extending to 20 years

1/ Yesterday, the SNP published a fact-free paper on energy which simply assumed that wind farms produce cheap electricity. Coincidentally, the Beatrice Offshore wind farm (one of Scotland’s largest) published its annual accounts yesterday, which tell us the truth about costs…

@staylorish 2/ It’s also one old contract. New offshore wind auctions clear far below that and undercut new gas or nuclear. Scots pay into the same UK CfD pot as everyone else. WHEN Scotland is independent we can set smarter contracts, scrap the nuclear levy and keep the gains here.

@staylorish 1/ Beatrice doesn’t prove “wind is expensive”, it proves Westminster signed a gold-plated deal in 2014. The accounts show a CfD strike price of £140/MWh (2012 prices). Your £196/MWh is total revenue (subsidy + energy sales + profit), not the cost of making wind.

Nah Giles, not quite. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿You can leave school at 16 in Scotland and even get married at 16 with no parental consent. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿England might’ve bumped marriage up to 18, but we’re not all stuck in Year 13 waiting to tie the knot 🤷‍♀️ #thismorning

@jambounchained1 So glad folks picked up on this 😂

He’s just lit a fag live one stage. #Glastonbury

@ItsDietrich I thought of that too! 😂

@albions012 @LS26Scot @staylorish I'm bored now Michael. I'm sure you know I can reply to everything you're asking and have done, but I've been doing this a long time now - with sharper pencils than you 🤪 And the bathroom needs done. So....👋Cheerio

@Greg8535937 @LS26Scot @staylorish 'Winning' with 30% of the electorate. The majority reject the SNP and their ludicrous and defunct independence nonsense.

“This is from a campaign that can’t even tell you what currency Scotland would be using post independence, let alone how we would spend that currency on healthcare.” Andrew Bowie makes a fair point in response to a typically facile argument for independence from Lesley Riddoch.

@albions012 @LS26Scot @staylorish “Scotland isn’t going to be independent.” We’ll see. They said the same before Holyrood existed. Before the SNP were elected. Before 2011. Before Brexit. Folk like you keep saying “never” and we keep moving closer 💁‍♀️ #BelieveInScotland believeinscotland.org/ten-reasons-to…

@albions012 @LS26Scot @staylorish Scotland “gets billions more”? That's called the Block Grant Pythagoras 🤦 A refund of our own taxes, minus what the UK skims off first for HS2, Trident, Brexit, and debt we didn’t vote for. It’s not generosity. It’s a racket 🕶️

@albions012 @LS26Scot @staylorish See my earlier point about democratic deficit 👆

@Greg8535937 @LS26Scot @staylorish Like the General Election? We just elected a Labour government. Not sure what your point is tbh 🤔

@albions012 @LS26Scot @staylorish As for “fiscal transfers” dwarfing debt repayments....What, the transfers from Scotland to the Treasury, or the ones they claim we get back… by assigning us a share of debt we didn’t choose to rack up? 🤔 Try harder.

@albions012 @LS26Scot @staylorish Scotland is not a “region”. It’s a nation, with a legal right to self-determination. Look it up.

@albions012 @LS26Scot @staylorish No, it doesn’t. And yes, it will.

@Greg8535937 @LS26Scot @staylorish No, GERS simply describes Scotland's revenues and expenditure. It describes our colossal deficit in forensic detail. Scotland isn't going to be independent.
