Scotland has enormous energy wealth, but for decades the profits and economic benefits have flowed elsewhere.
Labour are quickly running out of excuses for why GB Energy will not deliver for workers, cut household bills and ensure that the wealth generated in Scotland stays in Scotland.
People across Scotland are seeing their energy bills rise year after year, while our energy supply chain is stuck in limbo.
What is left must not disappear into another short-term fix. It should be invested in Scotland’s future.
