For the scottish conservatives, we can end their obsession with independence for good. our country is crying out for change. and after 14 years of tory chaos and failure, this is an opportunity scotland cannot afford to miss. we all know the westminster system is broken. it s delivered austerity, brexit and the cost of living crisis. i scotland deserves better. i m asking you to vote snp - to put scotland s interests first. we badly need some hope and a change of direction. well, scottish liberal democrats are all about hope, and we re part of the change that s coming. first topic the oil and gas sector. well, i m in favour of a just transition to net zero. and the problem with what anas has set out is that there is a very direct damage going to be done to the oil and gas sector as a consequence of the tax plans that he s put forward, and which the conservatives have put into place. just to make this clear, ....
