@80_mcswan Suspect it's got lots to do with people having Two votes a referundum where it is just 1 vote per person is very different hence why SNP won't push for it

Disaster for the Ultra Unionist party's

No new homes on the gas network from 2028. Common sense at last.
Plug in solar is also coming. A game changer for many living in flats and smaller homes 😃
Oil and gas under attack 👍🏻
Heat pumps for all new homes and plug-in solar in green tech drive bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

@IrisDuane That's only because the SNP voters are giving you their second vote, if it was 1 vote per person, suspect a different outcome

Hope can beat hate 💚
In Glasgow it’s greens or reform - let’s build a better future together 💪🏾

@Angelcalling5 Green is the way forward but there are big challenges to be solved eg wind turbines need oil to turn... Thru only last about 10 years before needing replaced, they are NOT currently recyclable, are America not bearing them in the desert, what are your plans?
English
When you hear people on here slagging off green power, it's either because they are paid by oil & gas, vote for those who are paid by oil & gas, or they're just thick, or all of the above.
Green energy is a no brainer. Freedom from Putin and other regimes.
No price increases

@SimonForrest11 if that is true I assume you have no issues with signing a legal agreement saying you will personally make up any deficit ?

Parents across Scotland have told us they need more support. The working day does not stop at 3pm.
A re-elected SNP Government will extend childcare from 9 months old to the end of primary school, 52 weeks a year.
Make it #BothVotesSNP on May 7 for a Scottish Government on your side. #SNP26

@ScotNational And watch interest rates sore and make mortgages unaffordable

The SNP will offer £10,000 to first-time home-buyers in Scotland if they retain power in Edinburgh at the next Holyrood elections, First Minister John Swinney has said #Echobox=1773425978-1" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">thenational.scot/news/25936164.…

Wales get on the board and move from 5th to 3rd in the standings as they beat Scotland 24-6

If every SNP voter votes SNP/Greens, the BritNat representation in Holyrood will be absolutely decimated. That's not up for debate, it's just arithmetic. Forget which constituency you live in, just vote SNP/Greens to boot as many BritNats out of Holyrood as possible 🤷

@ZackPolanski @DeborahMeaden Curious how your windmills will turn with no oil to lupucate them, similarly how will you make the blades with no chemicals and also how will you recycle the blades which only last 10 years,the sooner you realise it's not black or white and everything has consequences usually bad
English
A new report shows hitting our climate targets by 2050 costs less than one oil shock costs the UK.
We need a rapid transition to clean energy to shield people & the economy from price spikes every time oil prices jump.
Some commentators still can’t connect those dots…
English
@TheRealJamieKay Nope as his total inexpensive would show through in seconds. Things are not black and white as he thinks and 99% politicians end up choosing the least worse option rather than what they think they want to do. Lots of people would be very disappointed by him
English
@GerryMc71645291 that's why the SNP are so anti oil and desperate to shut it down
English
#gmb, we have to be self reliant on petrol.
YES. That's why London closed the only refinery in Scotland. We are now obliged to England.
English
@jeremycorbyn @tribunemagazine so Spain said no and is losing all its trade with the us ... how much is our trade with the us? and what is the consequences of losing it on the British people, these things are never as black or white as opposition politicians want us to believe
English
By allowing US forces to use British bases to bomb Iran, Keir Starmer is echoing Tony Blair’s obedience to Washington — dragging Britain into yet another costly, catastrophic and illegal war.
My piece for @tribunemagazine.

English
@ZackPolanski easy for you to say that when it's a simple yes / no soundbyte. sorry real world is not like, every action has huge consequences have eg no us investment reduces, job loses , tax loss and all your voters even worse off....
English
It took just one phone call from Donald Trump for Starmer to jump into yet another Middle East illegal war, failing to learn the lessons of the tragedies of Iraq, Libya and Syria.
Pippa Crerar@PippaCrerar
BREAKING: Keir Starmer has given US permission to use UK bases at RAF Fairford and Diego Garcia to launch “defensive” airstrikes against Iran - and destroy its missiles “at source” to prevent them firing across region. PM: “Our partners in the Gulf have asked us to do more to defend them… And it’s my duty to protect British lives. “We have British jets in the air as part of coordinated defensive operations which have already successfully intercepted Iranian strikes. “But the only way to stop the threat is to destroy the missiles at source - in their storage depots or the launchers which are used to fire the missiles. “The US has requested permission to use British bases for that specific and limited defensive purpose. “We have taken the decision to accept this request to prevent Iran firing missiles across the region - killing innocent civilians, putting British lives at risk and hitting countries that have not been involved.”
English
@OborneTweets it's really easy to speak out when you are on the side lines and looking to make political capital. totally different if you are responsible for the safety of British lives things are never black / white and all actions have consequences
English
Zack Polanski showing clarity, leadership and courage. I would guess he speaks for the majority of Britons.
Zack Polanski@ZackPolanski
We now face being dragged into another illegal war in the Middle East which has now pulled in multiple countries. People in this country do not want this and it must not be allowed to happen.
English
@ZackPolanski simple question to you , would you be prepared to defend British people and territory when it gets attacked ? yes or no
English
The majority of people in this country do not want us to be involved in this war.
Keir Starmer of a few years ago wouldn't have supported this war.
The only reason he does now is he will do anything Donald Trump wants - and it makes us all less safe.
Keir Starmer@Keir_Starmer
No more illegal wars. Introduce a Prevention of Military Intervention Act and put human rights at the heart of foreign policy. Review all UK arms sales and make us a force for international peace and justice.
English
@TheEconomist and they are the exact people who will pay a very heavy price when they eventually realise that it was all false hope based on simple school level ideas, don't you think if life was that simple others would have done it ...
English
The Greens gathered a coalition of young progressives, working-class former Labour voters and Muslims. Their win inflicts another blow to Sir Keir Starmer’s wounded British premiership economist.com/britain/2026/0…
English
@snowleopardess sure the greens are giving people hope but only issue is it's false hope as life is not black /white nor simple its bloody complex and most times the consequences are far worse than people think. hence why none of their policies have ever been successfully implemented
English
Hope.
"It shows that Greens can win anywhere – that people pounding the pavements for a candidate they believe in can beat the billionaire press, the smears from Reform and the misinformation of a party that has forgotten who it was built to serve."

@ZackPolanski Your post really highlights why you are still at school level politics ... so are you saying if Iran was to hits say London you would still do nothing ? You would not be prepared to defend British lives ?
English
Really concerned to hear the Defence Secretary refuse to rule out UK's involvement in future strikes on Iran.
Iraq lessons must be learned.
Further escalation in the Middle East makes us all less safe.
Starmer must rule out UK involvement immediately.
