"Two self delusions have sustained the SNP through the past couple of decades of devolution. The first is the perennial grievance that deteriorating public services are the result of Westminster austerity." 1/2

Visitor Levy: Scotland’s tourism landscape is changing.
Our latest map provides a snapshot of where each Scottish local authority currently stands on Visitor Levy plans, from early consideration and consultation through to approved schemes and decisions not to proceed.
With approaches varying across the country, the landscape is becoming increasingly complex for accommodation providers.
ASSC continues to engage with local authorities, Scottish Government and industry partners to ensure schemes are:
✔️ Proportionate and evidence-based
✔️ Practical to implement
✔️ Supported by clear guidance
✔️ Fair for businesses and visitors
As Edinburgh prepares to introduce Scotland’s first Visitor Levy, the lessons learned will help shape future discussions.

Watch this.
We currently pay £1.5 billion a year to switch wind farms off when it's too windy.
Rachel Fletcher from Octopus Energy has just told Parliament that could soar to £10 BILLION by 2030.
Ed Miliband is writing cheques for wind farm developers before the grid can move their energy to where it’s needed.
This is a political choice and it is making electricity expensive.
Government needs to wake up to what their plans are doing to our energy prices and make electricity cheap.
🚧 "Unless Parliament is prepared to repeal the thicket of rules that prevent us getting anything built in this country, we are not going to grow economically."
@DanielJHannan on BBC Politics Live on why planning and eco-regulation are strangling UK growth.
We've been ruled by men who live by illusions:
—The illusion that you can spend money you haven't earned without eventually going bankrupt or falling into the hands of your creditors;
—The illusion that real jobs can be conjured into existence by government decree like rabbits out of a hat;
—The illusion that there is some other way of creating wealth than by hard work and satisfying your customers;
—The illusion that you can have freedom and enterprise without believing in free enterprise.
In other countries, governments give tax breaks to private schools. They love it when parents choose not to ask the state to bear the full cost of their children's education, and try to be helpful.
In Britain, uniquely, economics and education are subordinated to spite.
Former UK service personnel could be recalled up to age 65 under the Armed Forces Bill, with the threshold lowered to cover 'warlike preparations', the Defence Investment Plan confirms. Click image for more.

Don’t let the history of the Troubles be rewritten.
The IRA were murderous psychopaths, who killed innocent civilians, assassinated police officers and blew up children.
The military and the police fought against them bravely. The terrorists lost, and democracy won.
The Scottish Conservatives have always stood up for the issues that matter to people throughout Scotland.
We will continue to stand against the SNP’s neglect of our communities, industries and businesses.
