"A real glimpse into how Labour Party views Scotland - a ‘child lucky to get pocket money’, but its revenue from Scotland’s natural resources that kept Reeves afloat.
“That tone & sneering reply has led to so many wondering how & when we can leave broken, Brexit Britain.”

"Rent controls are normal.

They exist in many parts of Europe and beyond. They must exist in Scotland too.

Homes are for living in, not profiteering."

Reminder: most of our wonderful birds of prey killed to allow humans to shoot other birds, frightened into the sky by beaters.
Bird crime across UK shows no signs of stopping. Of individuals convicted 2009-23, 75% connected to gamebird shooting industry.

There has also been a 15% decrease in frontline staff in Sepa to deal directly with pollution complaints since 2017.

Pollution harms both us & planet, @ScotGov.
We need Greens back in Govt.
Complaints about #pollution in Scotland leapt over the last ten years while successful prosecutions of polluters have fallen from 18 to zero 🧵
