🇫🇷 While energy prices in the UK rose by 54%, the French government chose to cap them at 4%.
On top of that, France is providing a €100 payment to low-income households, and introduced a 15 cent-per-litre reduction in fuel prices (compared to 5p in the UK).

So tonight I've noticed an interesting pattern relating to #BothVotesSNP that's worth flagging.
I've spotted several, apparently fake pro-SNP accounts, all based outside of Scotland, all using weird language. Buckle up...

Here's 'Noah' in London. 'Noah' advocating a 'savior [sic] leader'? Really? Doesn't that language seem odd to any reasonable person?
But wait, there's more: here's Monica, a London based socialist advocating for #BothVotesSNP

@StephenGethins @NicolaSturgeon 📢 @NicolaSturgeon: "Our thoughts today are very much with those affected by yesterday’s horrific terrorist attack in London."
📢 @NicolaSturgeon: "We think of all those who sustained injury and, especially, of the families of those who lost their lives.
There are no words that can ease the pain that they are feeling."
