"Should this new mechanism come in place for 2027, industry will come to the table with significant multi-billion pound investment." Geoff Aberdein considers the impact of the Middle East conflict on energy prices - and why the UK Government needs to unlock domestic potential.
"Getting a majority is not what's supposed to happen" Andy Maciver suggests that a majority in parliament for the SNP after tomorrow’s election proves that the system does not work properly.
