Listening to Nicola Sturgeon's great speech at the end of the SNP conference - touting the achievements over the last 10 years and she's doing it in style. I love the setting up of a publicly owned 'not for profit' energy company thereby ensuring consumers are not being 'ripped off' any more. The theme of this speech is progressive government and it covers a commitment on a multitude of 'targets for improvement' - housing (more new houses/affordable homes built than anywhere in the UK, 8k completed and more to follow), top class green energy policies, a sustainable green economy, tackling inequality, educational attainment, land reform (the island of Ulva given permission to own it), transport improvement incl the construction of the Queensferry Crossing and lots of other positive policies. And a message to the Westminster Parliament - HANDS OFF OUR PARLIAMENT!!! Also the lack of an oil fund for Scotland, another shit Westminster decision in the late 70s while Norway has a current oil fund of approx $3T!!! Great stuff! Showing her box of Strepsils at the start of her speech was priceless lol - this was no 'car crash speech' and comparing the UK PM with the 1st Minister is 'chalk n cheese'!
