Wee thing we did for @SkyNews yesterday. Think folk forgot whilst Governments stall because they have absolutely no idea what they are doing the lack of action absolutely destroys communities and leaves good people in the shite
Aberdeen's fate hangs in the balance as parties including the SNP weigh drilling for North Sea oil and gas against net zero policies. Sky's @amandaakass reports. 🔗 trib.al/WeeAAo7

Today one Russian paper claims “Russia’s military has been given political blank cheque to carry out full demilitarisation & deindustrialisation of Ukraine.” But nothing in the papers from Irkutsk, where there have been reports of a potentially “dangerous infection.” #ReadingRussia

So much anger within some Scottish Labour MPs one tells me it’s a ‘piss poor’ look and that being rewarded with a peerage after a ‘catastrophically crap election campaign’ sends a terrible message.
As our @ryancapperauld reported, Sarwar has been made a peer, trade minister and is quitting as Scottish Labour leader. The first senior Labour figure to call for Starmer to go, it’s fair to say there is quite a bit of anger over this amongst those who backed Starmer & see this a reward for helping force him out

Sky news understands Anas Sarwar set to accept peerage and serve in Andy Burnham’s government It will mean that Anas Sarwar will leave the Scottish Parliament and role as Scottish labour leader

Scots lab source:Anas’s departure was inevitable after a campaign that was completely detached from reality and let candidates,activists and Scotland down. Jackie Baillie should now follow him out of the door.Scottish Labour needs a fresh start that reconnects with the people
