How will Scotland plug its £1.5bn budget shortfall?
« on: December 19, 2023, 08:46:34 AM »

Be very interesting to see what's done here. For previous years, the 'it's all Westminster's fault' approach would likely have been effective in terms of public support but I don't think the support is currently as likely to buy that.

It's unfortunate for Scotland and Wales that there is a general election coming because the chancellor is trying to bribe us instead of raising taxes to cover the services that we want/need.

I'd wondered how the Green Party had been persuaded to continue to back the dualling of the A9. By moving the completion date to the 12th of Never.
