When Burnham tells you he wants Scotland to be more like Manchester was this what he had in mind. Remember this was under Burnhams watch

Oh look say @STVNews 'Rosebank crude will go to Dutch refinery as no suitable refinery capacity in Yow Kay.'
No mention that country whose oil is being siphoned now has no refinery.
Grangemouth was sabotaged (passive industrial) by UK Gov in cahoots with Ratcliffe's @PetroineosGM

💥 NEW: Prepare for food shortages and disruption, Wes Streeting warns, on day one of three year campaign to make the public more resilient.
Britons should have enough food, water, cash and medical supplies to last three days. Make a "grab bag" in case you have to leave home and keep essentials in the car boot.
If you have a baby, make sure you have enough baby formula and nappies.
Dan Jarvis, the security minister, says: "Those who can flow this advice should"

As a side note, Norway is allowed to withdraw a maximum of 3% of the fund’s estimated real return each year to help fund the national budget. Just think what that could have paid for in Scotland. The total fund is worth around £320,000 for every Norwegian citizen.

Britain’s missing sovereign wealth fund… Treasury officials have modelled that had the UK done what Norway did with North Sea revenues, there would be a £1 trillion fund…
As Chancellor sets up Energy Wealth Fund, a look at the long historical argument about where the oil windfall went, including from interviews with those who have run Norways $2.4 trillion fund, now the biggest in the world, filled from the proceeds of the same North Sea.

Scotland’s missing sovereign wealth fund. Treasury officials have modelled that had Labour done what Norway did with North Sea revenues, there would be a £1 trillion fund. Instead they told us the oil would soon run out.
Stand by for an apology from Gordon Brown & Co….

It was a Labour Chancellor, Denis Healey, who was in office when Westminster kept the McCrone Report secret from Scotland.
Published in 1974, it warned North Sea oil could make an independent Scotland extraordinarily wealthy. It remained secret until 2005.
‘We'd have a British sovereign wealth fund now that will be worth probably a trillion pounds’
Chancellor @JohnHealey_MP suggests what Britain could have gained if it had set up an energy wealth fund like Norway’s back in the 1980s

Scotland to the rescue of skint little england again with the oil & gas they kept telling us would have run out by *checks notes* some 6 years ago.
All the while, the english government continues the asset stripping and industrial vandalism of Scotland pre-independance.
Jackdaw will start to supply gas to British homes and businesses "from as early as the end of this month", the government says.
The chancellor will also announce today the launch of a "energy wealth fund" which will "use tax revenues from North Sea oil and gas to invest in renewable and low carbon energy projects".
