That’s why the SNP’s bus cap is so important – more money in people’s pockets at a time when the price of everything else is rising.

During a cost of living crisis, that’s simply unaffordable for most.

Folk in the North East shouldn’t have to pay through the nose to attend big events in the city.

John Swinney has put independence at the centre of the political agenda and it's exciting that Aberdeen will give Yes campaigners the opportunity to come together.

I disagree with the Scottish Greens on many issues, and I voted against the Bute House Agreement in 2021, but the independence campaign is bigger than any of our personal disagreements.

It is time for Andy Burnham to back young people and do the same.

No matter someone’s financial situation, they should be able to attend university or college without the barrier of ludicrously high tuition fees.

Only with the fresh start of independence can we use Scotland's energy wealth to the benefit of our citizens and to build an energy system that truly meets the needs of working people.

At a time when Scotland's North Sea industry needs support, the Labour Party has abandoned our workers and punished our industry with thousands of avoidable job losses.

It’s not GB Energy, it’s Scotland’s Energy and it should be in Scotland's hands.

Infantino is a clown.

The SFA should cut the dithering and publicly withdraw their support for this stain on the game.

The words ‘just transition’ will be thrown around a lot in response to this news, but to my constituents they are meaningless.

I’m angry and upset for 1100 BP workers in the North Sea who, during a brutal cost of living crisis, will be fearful about their future and their family’s livelihoods.

Frankly, I think that’s one of our duties to our northern European allies.

Use of domestically-produced oil and gas would reduce the need for carbon-intensive imports, the MSP added, while also creating 'billions of pounds in tax revenue', which should be 'ring-fenced' and sent to Scotland to boost the renewables…

Instead, I think we should be increasing use of our own domestic resources right here in the North Sea.

While we still need oil and gas, we should be decreasing our reliance on countries in the Middle East and from friends of Vladimir Putin.

Right now, Westminster is throwing North Sea workers on the scrapheap and Jackdaw and Rosebank would not only create thousands of Scottish jobs, it would be a massive boost to businesses and local economies the length and breadth of…

I believe in three key things – supporting Scottish jobs, strengthening our country’s energy security and building the renewables industry that we are going to need in the future.

The reality though is that Energy-rich Scotland is paying the price of repeated Westminster failure. With the fresh start of independence we will bring down people’s bills.

If Andy Burnham truly believes in devolution the first step he should take as prime minister must be to listen to the people of Scotland and give us power over our own energy resources.
