Scotland, the blood supply for the beating heart of the UK

In July 2024, weeks before the General Election, Starmer and Starmer, seduced the Scottish electorate with the above notion. They didn’t use this image below of what that meant in terms of energy supply at a time when Scots would remember struggling with their winter bills.

Far less did they use this information:

Scotland is currently transferring 1.69TWh of electricity per month to England, more than 20TWh in 2023 and on some days (above graph) pushing 30TWh.

You could fully power 70 000 homes for 1TWh. There are fewer than that in the whole UK. With the rest, you could power all the hospitals, schools, colleges and universities and still have some left.

    The ‘Deal’ being : ”Read my lips – Scotland does not count !”

  2. Labour is finished in Scotland. Scotland has a choice. The rest of the UK does not. Cutting the pensioner’s winter fuel payment and leaving children is poverty have finished Labour off in Scotland,

    1. Aye, trickle down the country to London and the SE where they get the subsidised energy – subsidised by our taxes being used to build power lines to take it there from our wind farms and tidal power.

  3. On his blog this morning, Richard Murphy has asked where is Keir Starmer going to get the renewable electricity and fresh water to power his plan for new hi-tech industries. I’ve just told him where.

  4. please edit the sentence about the number of homes in the UK. It sounds like you are saying there are fewer than 70,000, when it must be many millions.
