“When we got devolution, there was a promise made that a Scottish Parliament would result in a more decentralised Scotland. It didn’t happen … we have the least locally controlled country practically in the whole world, except for North Korea” #bbcqt #ScottishIndependence

From #LiveOnTheFly [Craig Murray] "The point I want to get over is the fact that Scotland continues to be economically throttled by England. We always say we are the only country in the whole world that ever discovered a lot of oil and got poorer. But Scotland has more oil, always did have more oil than Norway. And yet the people of Norway are massively rich and Norway has a Sovereign Wealth Fund in the trillions of dollars. Whereas the people in Scotland, the ordinary people in Scotland, are amongst the poorest people in Europe. We produce far more energy than we consume in Scotland. It's all exported to England. We get nothing for it. [Randy] What? And yet we pay literally the highest retail energy prices in the whole world. Professor Alf, give us a more, a more developed, if you like. [Prof Alf Baird] So we are, as you say, the poorest country in north-west Europe. Yet at the same time we have enormous resources. We have enormous resources of oil and gas, renewable energy, agricultural, fisheries and so on. Aggregates, the biggest quarries in Europe. So we have enormous resources and wonderful tourist product as well. The most significant tourist destination in the UK after London. So Scotland has enormous resources. So we have to then try and understand why we have a colonial balance sheet. So there's an enormous leakage of wealth and resources, and particularly over the last 40 - 50 years. So the situation is pretty dire. And I've estimated that the loss of wealth, the loss of GDP is at least 100 billion pounds a year to Scotland. Scotland would be about 100 billion pounds a year richer if it had access to and control over its resources." Liberation Scotland Committee Salvo.Scot

Today is a momentous day, as ministers in Scottish Parliament have declared a national #HousingEmergency in Scotland. We now need for Scottish Government to turn those words into actions, by delivering an emergency action plan to provide the social housing that Scotland desperately needs.

Angela Rayner has said Labour won’t devolve employment law to the Scottish Parliament because, “they won’t need it”. This is awkward for Anas Sarwar. We have a video of him promising Labour would use devolution to devolve employment law to Scotland. He won't want this retweeted.

The Autumn Budget delivered the largest settlement for the Scottish Government in devolution history. We are ending austerity and providing the SNP with the resources to clear up the mess they have made of public services in Scotland.

Former hostage, Segev Kalfon, speaks about what Hamas made him do whilst in captivity, with the empty promise of more food: “The most humiliating moment I had there was when they made us dig their toilets for them. We dug a hole almost two metres deep for three days, all filled with promises they’d bring us more food. We did it because we were hungry, so we didn’t care what we had to do for a little more food. But in the end, that never came either. That same evening when they brought us beans, they uh… they inflated them with water to make us feel there was more.”
