Scottish Liberal Democrats leader Alex Cole Hamilton says his party is on the verge of beating the S&P in several key constituencies. He dropped this during a stop at a cafe in Lin-Lithgow, laying out bold plans to tackle the rising cost of living. He's pushing an emergency insulation program to slash heating bills, plus speeding up installs of climate-friendly heating systems and solar panels. That way, folks can dodge those wild swings and fossil fuel prices. People are feeling the pinch hard paychecks they used to cover the basics, now barely stretch for family days out with kids or grandkids. Cole Hamilton says, Scotland has huge potential, but right now, it's just not delivering for everyday people. On top of energy fixes, he wants to overhaul community benefit rules, so locals pocket more cash from renewable energy projects in their backyards. Plus, reforming business race to ease the load on companies and avoid surprise tax hits.
