In amidst all the politics, here's a picture of my wee pal who visits me a few times each day to steal the birds' nuts.
Much speculation that Berwick Bank has not been consented due to "slow consenting" by ScotGov. But appears from this video that RSPB/NTS are objecting and perhaps prepared to challenge it. Application needs revision and resubmission? x.com/RSPBScotland/s…

Following the announcement of the end of the Bute House agreement, our latest blog considers the cooperation agreement, the circumstances which led to it ending and what this may mean for government in Scotland. ow.ly/cQGv50Ro3ce
Key takeaway for me today is FM's reference to needing to speak with one voice. The public do not understand excluded areas of BHA nor party/Govt divide. When they hear Green Minister speak many hear a Govt. voice - unsustainable going into an election.

I guess everyone in law is suddenly going to be interested in the restrictions on the interpretation of deeming provisions and legal fictions now. Fowler v HMRC [2020] UKSC 22 at para 27 (per Lord Briggs) bailii.org/uk/cases/UKSC/…
The Scottish Government has effectively banned the construction of all off-grid new homes in Scotland under the new heat in new-build regulations. So if you are a long way from electric grid, you can no longer build a house.
Good, balanced article by @thecommongreen on biomass heating: whilst noting "There are good reasons to limit the use of wood-fired heating", he says there are "various options for decarbonising rural heating & wood burners are absolutely part of that mix" commonweal.scot/shedding-light…

Hello! Here is this week's #mysteryphoto (no. 271), if you recognise where these men are working, please get in touch so the image can be properly catalogued. Thank you!
Journalist “Do you think the new build heat standard for homes is a valid piece of policy underpinned by science?” Minister “I’ve see far too many criticisms of it so far to be able to say that”
It’s worrying to see how science denialism has become more and more embedded into the political establishment. This contributes to the spread of misinformation, just bc Harvie would rather trust activists on Twitter over the independent experts who spent four years examining this

Although Berwick Bank predates ScotWind.
1/ Offshore wind is a big opportunity for Scotland. But has the SNP been honest about the size of that opportunity? When the outcome of the ScotWind leasing round was announced in January, two numbers were given particular prominence.
@andywightman Remember seeing a one-woman play at the Fringe written by the mother of one of the submarine's officers about what happened to her It was gripping too. Only 2 people in the audience.
@andywightman Depends on size but from what I can gather anything from £40k upwards. They sold about 1,000 so far
I’ll be joined by @patrickharvie on tomorrow’s Sunday Show. Lots to discuss. We’re on the BBC Scotland channel at 10am (not BBC1 this week because of the London Marathon), and on Radio Scotland as usual. Join us if you can.
@andywightman This is the type of disfunctional stuff that land managers in Scotland have to deal with the whole time. Policies that actively contradict each other and a lack of joined up thinking.
@andywightman You're missed as a politician and my MSP. You didn't choose the right party but you were the best politician that party has ever had and probably ever will have.
@andywightman Thanks for explaining this so well, what a contrary law for rural communities. Wood gasification boilers are truly a wonder and if we had the space there would be one fitted in my home.
@andywightman @h_mccready Thank you for writing this, Andy. You make it easy to grasp what the problem is. Your informed and reasoned input in Holyrood is still very much missed.
@andywightman @townsendoutdoor Fascinating reading Andy thanks. Following this one with a weird fascination overall to be honest. There's some interesting decision making going on
@andywightman I'm not in agreement with many of your political opinions. In fact, I think we're some distance apart. It is refreshing to see a politician actually practice what they preach. You're a mile ahead of any other politician in Scotland and lightyears ahead of any green.

@andywightman Sounds like a very obvious means of dodging disclosure if so? The lady I spoke to was a lovely Latvian with a fine sensibility for landscape and hospitality.
@andywightman @SRDorman A Scottish minister, making use of his park...
Late to this, but TBH I think Andy has missed a trick here: owning 4 ha surrounded by land owned by Highland Titles (continuing), all with an overlay of souvenir plots, would have provided endless opportunities for sport..... 😂

@Countprosper @andywightman Around 1000 hectares of productive farmland in Dumfries and Galloway has just been bought with London money, at inflated prices way beyond what a farmer could pay, to allow the London-centric establishment to plant trees and claim "carbon offset".
@andywightman Yeah, I know. If it's any consolation, the next posts are going to be much shorter than the first. (I think.)
@andywightman @MalcolmCombe @SJLaing Not got so would appreciate email, thanks. RCI regs hellish complicated and can't be sure I've interpreted correctly. Not even sure they do what they're supposed to in some areas (partnerships) never mind serve the bill's purps. Would be interested to see GG's views.
