The “alarming” move comes as Chancellor Rachel Reeves is poised to confirm at her spending review this week whether the Acorn carbon capture project for St Fergus, near Peterhead, will finally receive the funding it needs to get off the ground.

Next year’s Holyrood election is poised to be the closest battle seen in a generation. It is difficult to disagree with Anas Sarwar that it is now “game on” for Scottish Labour’s hopes of snatching power away from the SNP next year. Scottish Labour has revived its dwindling hopes of challenging John Swinney for power in 11 months time by defying the odds with a victory that will send shockwaves through Scottish politics.

Council bosses in Edinburgh have been accused of “complete incompetence” as it grapples with an £86 million repair bill for the city's crumbling roads, amid fears it will take years to get on top of the problem. The revelation comes after Edinburgh City Council was forced to make savings to alleviate a budget gap of almost £40m to balance the books for this financial year, helped in part by hiking council tax by 8 per cent and putting up parking charges by around 10 per cent.

Huge ramifications are ahead from the fallout of the Hamilton, Larkhall and Stonehouse by-election. When a new MSP is selected for South Lanarkshire tonight, much more will be on the line than simply choosing the newest face to join the ranks at Holyrood. The Hamilton, Larkhall and Stonehouse by-election, being held due to the death of SNP MSP Christina McKelvie, will have huge ramifications for Scottish politics and for next year’s Scottish Parliament election.
