@Wen @theferret the headline is rubbish though. When was the SNP not "under fire"?
The bit that's missing from any analysis is the jobs at risk that are not directly related to the oil industry. The NE, where I am, is so bound up in oil, that its hard to unravel. If oil offices shut, for example, so will kids' nurseries, yoga studios, and golf clubs.

Wen (wen@mastodon.scot)'s status on Sunday, 09-Jun-2024 18:47:51 JST Wen @theferret It is a well researched and presented article. Exaggeration does not help, although I can't help feeling that the SNP/Greens have not made enough of explaining the just transition policy.

The Ferret (theferret@mastodon.scot)'s status on Sunday, 09-Jun-2024 18:47:52 JST The Ferret SNP under fire for ‘exaggerated’ oil jobs claim
The SNP has been accused of spreading ‘misinformation’ over its claim that Labour’s plans for the North Sea oil industry could cost 100,000 Scottish jobs.
