Westminster isn’t delivering for energy rich Scotland
I’m old enough to remember when the Labour Party said they’d cut heating bills by £300.

by Scotland's future must be in Scotland's hands
Westminster isn’t working for Scotland. Brexit Britain is broken, causing food prices to rise, living standards to fall and wiping billions from public spending that funds the NHS and other public services. If we continue like this, we will increasingly have less money to spend.
Independence lets us build a better future. Look at all the thriving independent countries like Scotland – Denmark, Ireland and Norway are all fairer and wealthier. If they can do it, why not Scotland?
Independence is ultimately about us, the people, and making sure that our government works hard to serve us by using Scotland’s resources to benefit us all and not just a privileged few. With independence, the days of getting right-wing Tory governments that we didn’t vote for will be over for good.
The only guaranteed outcome of a Westminster Labour Government is the Tory Government that always follows it.
