🟥 If Scotland were an independent country, we would have our own Treasury. We could make our own decisions, instead of waiting for an afterthought from a neighbouring country.

Rachel Reeves' Budget was a damp squib, delivering austerity by stealth. There was no vision, and no investment. There was just fear of the City of London. In this video, I ask why the Chancellor has surrendered economic power to finance. youtu.be/6pTpT_uB_4M?...

“Oh, thank you, imperial master. Grovelling thanks for sharing your hard-earned cash.” Did Rachel Reeves expect this when she announced some of Scotland's taxes will be sent back north? Actually that budget pop at the SNP is a sure sign of Labour nerves.
