Solar grew by 31% globally in the first half of 2025, while wind grew by nearly 8%.

Renewable energy is the future, providing safe, clean and cheap power - in sharp contrast to the volatility of fossil fuels.

In Scotland we must continue building on our success in this booming industry.

Renewables overtake coal as world's biggest source of electricity

Developing countries lead the historic clean energy charge but the US and EU rely more on fossil fuels than before, a think tank study shows.

NHS England waiting list hits 7.41m appointments, 6.26m patients; lower than the Tory legacy.

Billions sucked out of the NHS through PFI, outsourcing, profiteering; more privatisation planned.

Thousands die awaiting hospital appointment.

Save lives, not fiscal rules.

Cooper accepted at least £215,000 of pro-Isreali BLOOD-SOAKED BRIBES

In exchange she:

✅️ voted against ceasefires
✅️ flew spy flights over Gaza
✅️ target sharing with Isreal
✅️ sent bullets
✅️ sent tank shells
✅️ sent fighter parts
✅️ sent drones
✅️ trained Israeli soldiers on 🇬🇧 soil

Her pretence is over

Scotland voted Remain, and were dragged out of the EU because our domineering neighbour forced us to leave, despite all the promises made in 2014.

For real change, we need #ScottishIndependence and a return to the EU.

European Movement UK @europeanmovement.co.uk · 1d

From Sunday, travelling into Europe gets tougher for Brits.

New EU border rules mean fingerprint scans, photo registration and longer queues.

This is the real-world cost of Brexit - more hassle, more red tape, more delays.
