27 Aug 2023 Pete Wishart MP (@PeteWishart) Spot on. This is why unionists, Albists and various social conservatives have so vigorously attacked the Greens and policies to tackle climate change recently. They can’t go for individual ministers anymore so they go for what protects them. https://www.thenational.scot/news/23749747.shona-robison-reflects-scottish-governments-bute-house-agreement/?ref=twtrec [Source]

17 Aug 2023 Alistair Carmichael MP (@amcarmichaelMP) We sometimes talk about a "just transition" for the North Sea economy in the years to come. That has to mean more than just warm words.

We can be a leader, reaping the economic benefits, creating more jobs, and making Britain less reliant on buying energy from dictators.
