Could ? your a devolved administration with zero EU devolved competence . Stop misleading the Scottish Public and hiding behind the EU after 5 years lead up to leaving and 5 years since we left. The lack of transparency, accountability and open public scrutiny and the environmental green washing , and selective human rights . Suggest the EU would not like scotland as a honest partner.
EU has to show its resilience against the USA far right ...they are on a mission that will unite us or break EU...UK has now totally isolated itself..and continues to be a puppet state of the US . vast majority of the ppl of UK don't want closer relations to USA..far from it....Brexit was a crule lesson on the power of the UK establishment in manipulation of media and exploitain of the truth by means of disinformation....Brexit has been a total disaster....USA been sold America first by same means, establishment in USA and UK are the same ppl....so EU had better watch its back...UK wants back in EU where it belongs, and face up to the reality... distance itself from America First...or maybe other way round... before America First distance themselves from UK if it doesnt agree with US policy.is putting it nice...?

Could Scotland Economy recover this money. The answer is 100% yes with Regional Power pricing dropping electricity from 27pkwh back to 11pkwh https://www.gov.scot/publications/energy-statistics-for-scotland-q3-2024/pages/total-final-energy-consumption/ Base on publish consumption figure this would reduce Scotlands bills for electricity From £5.859 Billion by 60% Putting £3.51 Billion back into Scottish Business, Household and Public Services. If Westminster want Brexit at least give us the benefit of having said Yes to Green Power. Ofgem not fit for purpose Support the CEO of Octopus call for Scotland to have the cheapest electricity in Europe. All within Westminsters gift.
We left the EU just in time - well done Boris. You got it done.
Brexit was a disaster. So how will Scoxit be any better?
And yet no comments on SCEXIT and how it willl Bankrupt an iScotland - please clarify for Scottish Taxpayers?
The way the EU is performing at the moment it might not exist in 10 years some member countries are now realising the cost perhaps if the SNP got on with day job and sorted Scotlands problems then one day they may have a case for an independent country who may then decide it wants to join
I couldn't vote in the 2016 EU Referendum (been away far too long) but something interesting has always struck me about this. The 'position' of the Europhiles (and I was in London during the Referendum campaign & there when the vote took place) appears to be this 'self-declared intellectual superiority'. Yet I don't think I've met a single Europhile who is familiar with the fact that British post-war economic activity actually peaked in 1973 - the year of EEC accession. Now this seems strange, for didn't I hear the Europhiles self-declare themselves the 'best educated generation in British history' during those acrimonious weeks in 2016? So where is their research? Similarly, when opposition to the European project is being denounced by the Europhiles as some 'right-wing conspiracy' I'm left wondering. Have they never heard of Tony Benn, Peter Shore, or Barbara Castle, & given the slide towards a much bigger war that seems likely in Europe the wisdom of Castle at the Oxford Union in 1975 seems ominously prescient? Of course, that was long in the past. Yet surely, if we are to defer to the 'best educated generation in British history' we might reasonably expect a little more historical knowledge &, perhaps, a little less conceit?
