Delighted to join @ProsperScot's new podcast. @ProsperScotCEO and I spoke about current economic & fiscal challenges but also why we should (and must) be optimistic about Scotland's economic future. They have great guests lined up, so worth tuning in to future episodes.
“We’re going to see over the next decade, radical change in our economy” On the first episode of our new podcast, @ProfGraemeRoy explores whether the mission for Scotland’s economy to be fair, green and growing can be achieved. 🎧 Listen here https://t.co/jL6BWqJUDi

Worth a go I’d say
The UK must significantly increase the use of these technologies. By 2030, we need to see: - New electric car sales need to go from 16.5% -> to nearly 100% - Heat pump installations need to go from 1% to 10% - Increases in offshore wind x3⃣, onshore wind x2⃣, solar x5⃣

I've got Spain in The National's charity sweepstake, but after that front page, I'm out. It's boorish, offensive and embarassing, and I don't want associated with it. Should Spain win, I'll make my own contribution to my chosen charity.

With our rivers once more riding high in UK politics, I'm reminded again of this brilliant @GrasshopperGeo map. A way of re-centring rivers in land and mind. Everyone lives in a watershed.

We applaud @IanMurrayMP in his new role as #SecretaryofStateforScotland and wish him the best of luck in this new #Government. This is what he said with regards to the #salmonsector at a hustings event last month we co-hosted with @ProsperScot and @ScotchWhiskySWA.
