On Sturgeon’s legacy.

Kenny MacAskill

Power of Scotland

In 2020, Scotland produced the equivalent of 97 per cent of its electricity consumption from renewables. That’s even before the huge capacity of offshore really begins to grow and come ashore. https://t.co/CIsGFoDjs1

Macaskill Calls For End To The “Great Scottish Renewable Energy Swindle”

ALBA Depute Leader Kenny MacAskill MP has called for a Scottish public energy company to be established as he publishes a new paper – 124 Billion Reasons for Independence

Many of us who left Sturgeon's New SNP did so not just on a policy basis but concerns over internal democracy. It’s why a mixture of sadness of what she’s done to a party we gave many years to and for the rank and file member who’s been sold many lies.https://t.co/CPksVyw7Bt

A withering analysis by Kenny MacAskill

📺 WATCH: Kenny MacAskill MP discussing the ScotWind scandal ⤵️

Scotland's natural resources have been sold off on the cheap. Serious questions need to be asked about why this has been allowed to happen.#ItsScotlandEnergy | #ALBAforIndependence pic.twitter.com/B2oUjuk44F

Kenny likes a bargain – but not at Scotland’s expense!

🗣 "We are energy-rich. We are exporting our energy. It should be 𝘬𝘢-𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨! every time a gigawatt of energy is going south of the border or into the European market." – @KennyMacAskill MP#ALBAforIndependence 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Ka-Ching every time Scottish electricity is exported.

ALBA have the ideas and vision for Scotland’s future, with bold policies for a prosperous and fair independent country.

It seems the SNP leadership candidates agree, because even in politics, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery!

The Alba Party takes the policy lead.

6⃣6⃣,0⃣0⃣0⃣ Scots were forced to self-disconnect from smart meters in one quarter of 2021. That figure will have risen even more in recent months.
