Episode Details

John Swinney, SNP leader, launches a new campaign to lower energy bills, urging the UK government to immediately reduce fuel prices amid the energy crisis. He criticizes Prime Minister Keir Starmer for inaction, proposing solutions like scrapping the fuel duty increase and eliminating VAT on fuel duty until the crisis subsides. Scots face high energy costs and job losses in the sector, with Swinney highlighting how other European nations have provided swift assistance. He argues that Scotlands energy resources could permanently lower bills with independence, positioning the SNP against Labour ahead of the election.
