For the first time, Labour have admitted that, alongside successive Tory Westminster governments, they failed to invest Scotland’s energy wealth for generations to come.
BREAKING: The UK Government has reportedly rejected John Swinney's plea for a new North Sea energy wealth fund to be ringfenced for the north east of Scotland
The fund was announced as the Jackdaw gas field, off the coast of Aberdeen, was approved by ministers

In Edinburgh, Cardiff and Belfast, every First Minister now supports our nations’ right to self-determination - and the wind is firmly in the sails of our movement.
@Jamie4North Ah, yes. Dounreay. Where decades of hazardous practices, poor record-keeping, and severe contamination have caused projected interim cleanup costs to escalate to nearly £8 billion, with full site restoration not expected until the year 2333. Go Nuclear! Hilarious.
Burnham came north to run a spoiler on the SNP conference so what was the big announcement? Scotland gets to control energy prices? Control of electricity generation, transport and supply? Nope. After all the usual boilerplate, his big announcement is devolved employment support.

@PeterStefanovi2 For too long, young people in Scotland have been cruelly denied the opportunity to pay university tuition fees and prescription charges. Something must be done. 😂
