In early 2022, then-First Minister Nicola Sturgeon and SNP Westminster leader Stephen Flynn led calls demanding the UK Government impose a windfall tax on oil and gas firms benefiting from excess profits.
🧵 1/ BP’s decision to sell its North Sea business marks a time of real uncertainty for workers, their families and communities across the North East. The skills and experience of this workforce are vital to Scotland’s future prosperity and our energy security.
The guy who taxes more than rest of UK now doesn’t like taxes. You couldn’t make it up.
3/ Westminster’s supertax on jobs is hurting Scotland, especially the North East. The UK Government must scrap the Energy Profits Levy and urgently act to protect jobs.
Nobody is blaming Nicola Sturgeon because she's a woman. They're questioning her because she ran the SNP while her husband, its Chief Executive embezzled party funds and people are questioning how it is "she knew nothing about it". That's accountability—not misogyny.
Nicola Sturgeon should be suspended from Twitter and all public discourse until she explains how she came to be married to the only man in Scotland who knows what make up to buy for his wifie. I would likely order a jar of Pond's Cream, whatever that is.
@larabirdsnp @theSNP Good god. You banned drilling, you needed the greens. Own it.
@larabirdsnp @AyrshireBog @theSNP You invited the extremist antisemitic eco-zealots in @scottishgreens in to government. Do one….
@larabirdsnp @theSNP And your party, Lara, must stop vilifying oil and gas production in the North Sea.
@larabirdsnp @theSNP You seem determined to make a complete fool of yourself. bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotla…
Sturgeon government opposed new licences for exploration and criticised Westminster when they were issued. Also backed a supertax on energy companies. Stop rewriting history. We have the receipts.
@afneil The windfall tax was introduced, increased and extended by the Tories. New licences were stopped by Labour. Energy is reserved to the UK. It doesn't matter if Scotland says drill baby drill or plug the wells. You are either being extremely disingenuous or are a complete idiot.
John Swinney slapped down over his 'crocodile tears' reaction to shock BP North Sea news - scottishdailyexpress.co.uk/news/politics/… scottishdailyexpress.co.uk/news/politics/…
SNP and Labour hostility to North Sea oil and gas is a disaster for north east Scotland. Thousands of jobs already lost and now this bombshell from BP. We need to get Britain drilling.
This. This is the point. It had nothing to do with carrying the can for someone else. Stop deflecting.
At the risk of repeating myself, Nicola Sturgeon was responsible for the good stewardship of the SNP, including its finances, during most of the period of her husband's embezzlement. Leaving aside their personal relationship, she should "carry the can' for her dereliction of
Once again - Nicola Sturgeon (wife) is not being held responsible for her husband’s crimes. As leader of the party she is being called to account for her deliberate frustration of the legitimate scrutiny which might have revealed those crimes. The distinction is 💯% clear. Though, just to take a hypothetical example, if a "married" couple had been jointly responsible for a massive fraud, they'd nearly got away with because of their extraordinary influence with the police, judiciary and political system but eventually their luck ran out and one of them had to do some time.... Would it be the man who had to carry the can or the woman? 🤔
The @NSPCC were alerted to 'chestfeeding' men. They refused to do anything.
This is the most cynical post you have ever written. You pretend to defend oil and gas, but it is your presumption against new development which has caused this crisis. You are a liar and a fraud.
🧵 1/ BP’s decision to sell its North Sea business marks a time of real uncertainty for workers, their families and communities across the North East. The skills and experience of this workforce are vital to Scotland’s future prosperity and our energy security.
The SNP was warned of a tax exodus back in 2022 by one of its own advisers... but failed to act
If you vote for the SNP you are giving them a free pass for governing terribly that is without Sturgeon & Swinney being embarrassingly close to Peter Murrell
You represent a party that has been crucifying the oil and gas industry since before COP 26 in 2021. Remember, that’s when Sturgeon stood there with Thunberg and invented the ‘just transition’; meaningless words from her and @theSNP.
🚨 BP’s decision to sell its North Sea business is a wake-up call for Westminster. 😶 Warm words won’t protect jobs in our community, bolster energy security or drive investment. ⚡️ The UK Government must end the supertax, back workers and deliver a just, managed transition for
Amnesty is a very wealthy international NGO that has attempted to restrict the range of acceptable expression by smearing other organisations, which hold legally-protected beliefs and are protecting their own rights in law, as ‘anti-rights.’ None of the defamed organisations are removing rights from trans people. Women and LGB people have simply refused to give up their own rights and freedom of speech to accomodate the notion that humans can change sex. You and your ilk are the quasi-religious authoritarians here. You defame and persecute all who refuse to accept your unfalsifiable belief system, and seek to punish heretics. In another age, you’d have been among the most enthusiastic witch-hunters, and then, as now, you’d be utterly convinced of your unimpeachable rectitude.
Hmm, this rather puts in to perspective that ‘apology’ from @AmnestyUK earlier. Not so much a heartfelt apology as ‘we are having to say this as lawyers have said we have to or we will be sued, but we don’t really mean it’
