Craig Hoy: “Every single Scot is over £2,700 better off because we are part of a strong United Kingdom.”

It’s indefensible that, while John Swinney imposes soaring taxes and cuts essential services to the bone, he and his Nationalist ministers refuse to cut their own cloth accordingly.

These bombshell figures expose the recklessness of the SNP making Scotland the highest taxed part of the United Kingdom.

This is a shocking development.

Scots will be concerned that dozens of taxpayer-funded devices have been lost or stolen in such a short space of time.
