Our members shared some of their concerns about the Radio Teleswitch switch-off last year. Worryingly, insufficient progress has been made and about 100k households will not have been upgraded by the deadline at the end of June.

I'm quite openly critical of all the main political parties over certain things, including the SNP.
That said, Robert Leslie is someone who I've gotten to know and trust who shares many of my values. I'm glad to see him standing again in Orkney.

I have wished for a long time to see energy advice and support as an intervention at hospital discharge. The statistic that 45% of health care workers know they have sent folk home to conditions that will make them ill again appears to support this.

Unfortunately, Labour's Secretary of State for Scotland has refused to accept the Climate Change Committee recommendation to remove the levies from electricity.
It doesn't sound like Labour will lower our electricity bills anytime soon 🙄

Unfortunately Labour's Secretary of State for Scotland didn't sound very keen on cutting the charges from electricity when he was questioned on The World At One. Might be a while before we see cheaper electricity.

Ofgem has confirmed the energy price cap will increase, this means the average household is set to pay over £800 more per year for their energy compared to winter 2020/21 - a 77% increase.

People can’t keep paying the price. It’s time for action.

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Scotland faces big challenges from Climate Change - but also big opportunities.

📈 By taking action now, we can create good, well paying jobs, and lower energy bills.

First Minister @johnswinney.bsky.social outlined our approach to Climate Change this morning 👇

Ofgem has announced that energy bills will rise from April. This is worrying as our new polling with YouGov.co.uk shows that nearly half of adults in GB expect to ration their energy over the coming months.

Following news the energy #PriceCap will increase to £1,849 from April, our Chief Executive @adamscorer.bsky.social tells @theguardian.com, 'We already see the impacts of sustained high bills.' www.theguardian.com/business/liv... (1/2)

How do we keep hope alive in 2025 when so many people are going hungry?

'Now we know there will be no let up into January and beyond.'

Our Chief Executive @adamscorer.bsky.social responds to the news that the #PriceCap will rise by 1% in January.

Price cap reported likely to sustain at current levels, just as first winter yellow weather warning kicks in. Artic blast, unheated homes & unaffordable prices.

Had an incredible trip to the Alasdair Gray archive. I’d no idea how much was there or how carefully it had been curated to reflect his values. Below: his paints, a painting of his Riddrie home, his inscription on a chicken bone & a page from a ledger he found in a skip & kept as a diary/artbook.
