Front page of today's Scotland on Sunday: Scottish Government met with oil and gas 200+ times in last 5 years, including:
⚫ Kate Forbes met Equinor inside COP summit in Glasgow
⚫ Sturgeon met INEOS inside Bute House
⚫ Energy minister Paul Wheelhouse met Shell and BP at Venice Opera
Big oil profits at the expense of people and planet. Small wonder we're failing on climate 🔥🌏🔥🌍🔥
