Graphic with a blue background. There are two pictures of cut out open mouths. It says "In their last manifesto, the SNP proudly said they were "leading Europe on LGBTI equality". But we remember what Governments do, not what they say. How will we remember their actions now - as standing up for trans people's rights when it really counted, or, for standing by when they were at risk?"

In their last manifesto, the SNP proudly said they were β€œleading Europe on LGBTI equality”. But we remember what Governments do, not what they say. Ask them why they've copied the definition of β€œsex” from the Supreme Court ruling into Scottish

Great to be on the James O'Brien show just now talking about how we are working with @fullfact.org and @appgfairelections.bsky.social to get rules for transparency and factual accuracy included in the Representation the People Bill.

We'll post the recording later.

Earlier today I found in the national archives undisputable evidence showing that the Supreme Court were wrong in their interpretation. The explanatory memorandum is clear about a GRC effectively meaning that someone is of the sex they acquired. And the explanatory note linked in it further provides

They're using the EXACT playbook the climate deniers used. Beat for beat. Make noise, muddy waters, capture institutions.

Last year gas set the electricity price 90% of the time, down from 97% in 2021. On current projections, gas will set the electricity price 60% of the time in 2030. Behind the meter generation removes wholesale prices from the equation for large percentages of usage entirely.

It is possible to accelerate behind the meter renewable generation + storage; funded by windfall taxation; in conjunction with grid scale generation & grid upgrades. I.E. public sector solar & storage, with the possibility of including FE & R&I as well.

Which sums?

OP is calling for acceleration of non fossil fuel energy generation. Additional funding from the fossil fuel windfall tax is capable of providing this.
Can you please point out where specific funding requirements for non fossil capacity are stated?

09.03.2026 08:38 πŸ‘ 2 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 1 πŸ“Œ 0

Funding can come from additional revenue from the extra tax being applied to oil and gas companies. This is because of the increase in the wholesale price of oil and gas.

Hey Baton Rouge and New Orleans folks, I think we’re ready to start looking for a home for Patches. He’s a sweet little guy, neutered, got his rabies and FeLV shots, and he’s a big fan of inside life. He’s FIV+, but I think he can be integrated with FIV- cats with training and supervision.
