A soverign Scottish State would not vote to become Dependent. Scotland has only ever been in the Union to expand Whitehall’s borrowing and influence.

Aberdeen, the oil and gas hub of the UK has ran out of petrol and diesel.
Let that sink in. The Union has absolutely crucified Scotland closing Grangemouth.

With Grangemouth now shut we have to get our fuel from England . What a farce.!!!

Scotland is a major oil producer yet Petrol stations have been forced to close after running out of fuel. With shortages in Dundee, across Fife, South Queensferry and North Ayrshire. Why are Norwegian drivers not facing the same empty pump crisis? news.stv.tv/scotland/petro…

In the Oil capital of Europe, petrol stations run out. All our petrol now has to be tankered by road from abroad... The biggest oil reserves in Europe, yet we don't have a refinery.. The biggest renewable sector in Europe, yet we have the most expensive energy. Fuck this "union".

1 month supply for the UK?
Remind which government decided to close Grangemouth?
Hint: It wasn’t the Scottish government.

Sam Coates on Sky News highlights kerosene (jet fuel) stocks: Japan: 27 months of supply UK: 1 month of supply We were unprepared for COVID — and today, we remain just as exposed to another pandemic. On top of that, unless things change with Iran fast, we’ll be facing a jet fuel shortage How have successive governments allowed planning to fail this badly?

@bellacaledonia You want an independent Scottish state right? Do you understand the value of dollars, and how to get them?

@DonaldsonIan @EdConwaySky Given that Whitehall have put us in this mess, no one should trust anything they say.

@EdConwaySky Thank you Ed. Do you believe those Whitehall sources??!!

👀Britain went into this energy crisis with one of the lowest levels of physical fuel stockpiles - both kerosene (jet fuel) and diesel - of any developed economy.
The only major economy more exposed is Australia.

@EdConwaySky We've been mis-governed for years. The lack of resilience is down to poor judgement over the last 20 years.

A superb watch. Ed Conway brilliantly illustrates today's energy crisis, tracing the journey of a single tanker to reveal the bigger picture—from the UK’s challenges to the global could configuration.

@EdConwaySky 14 mins of quality analysis from Ed Conway proving why Tom Forth is wrong.
A country that relies on the importation of raw energy is at the mercy of global events beyond their control.
It is not sound economics.

@EdConwaySky 1 month's of Kerosene stockpiled vs Japan's 30? The civil service and govt need to answer some very serious questions from a soon to be very angry people.

@EdConwaySky Whitehall should absolutely NOT be in charge of energy. They have made an absolute shambles of it.

NEW: Live on our podcast, @JohnSwinney reverses the SNP's position on oil and gas. He says the war in the Middle East "changes the balance of the arguments".

The nuclear loving @UKLabour neatly forget that in 2006, Gordon Brown (as Chancellor) sold British Nuclear Fuels-owned Westinghouse to Toshiba and GE Hitachi Nuclear Energy .... Another dumb Labour decision.
English
@John_Stepek Unionism has squandered literal trillions in oil wealth. It’s maybe not the strongest argument to have a go at the party that has practically zero control over oil and gas. That being said, it’s a welcome move to see changes in party line.

At this rate it won't be long before the secret oilfields make a grand return to politics

John Swinney reverses view on North Sea drilling. Notes that real test for emissions should be whether it is better than importing the same full. Finally..platitudes have properly met physics.
English

.@Ed_Miliband why is it ok for Norway to drill but not UK? Do you understand the term "balance of payments"? Do you understand that drilling our own oil would also generate more tax and support job creation? Do you understand you're single-handedly destroying the economy?
Latimer Alder@latimeralder
What's making Britain's electricity right now? Norwegian gas (48%) We pay Norway nigh on £20,000,000,000 per year to sell us North Sea Gas. Which we've banned ourselves from extracting on 'moral grounds' So we pay Norway to do it instead. They get rich

It was ever thus, starting with the discovery of oil in the North Sea. The wealth of Scottish energy sucked out of the country and squandered by Westminster instead of benefitting the people of Scotland.
