Michael Shanks MP, the UK Labour Government's Energy Minister, believes there is no difference between domestic and foreign oil production. I believe it makes a world of difference to hundreds of thousands of oil and gas workers across the North East of Scotland.

This week, @thesnp.bsky.social passed a budget that will abolish the two child cap and deliver a Winter Heating Payment for all pensioners. We were told "no austerity under Labour". The Scottish Government is now mitigating Labour austerity. 🥀

Today, I asked @johnswinney.bsky.social about the recent job losses at Harbour Energy, who blame the UK Government's excessive windfall tax. The UK Government have ignored warnings about job losses, treated Aberdeen as a cashcow, and is undermining efforts to deliver a Just Transition.

Earlier today, I questioned Rufus Radcliffe, CEO at STV, around their plans to cut STV North at the Scottish Parliament's Culture Committee. 300,000 folk tunes into STV North last night, I wouldn't call 300,000 folk nobody.

The UK Government's Energy Profits Levy has cost us 10,000 north sea jobs since 2022. I raised the impact the Levy is having with the Minister earlier today.👇

Labour promised to lower your energy bills by £300 Instead, energy bills are set to increase by £300! This is nothing short of disgraceful during a cost of living crisis

At First Minister's Questions, I asked about the impact of a 13% rise in the energy price cap. The UK Government have utterly failed to bring down energy bills and families across energy-rich Scotland are paying the price. It's time to put Scotland's energy in Scotland's hands.
