The SNP are forcing Scots to pay the highest taxes in the UK. Instead of using that money to fix the permanent crisis in Scotland’s NHS, restore standards in our schools and tackle the cost-of-living crisis, Swinney is splashing more money on one of his pet projects.
Commenting on Scottish Government's international office expansion.

The SNP's savage cuts to police budgets have weakened frontline policing, yet they still expect them to do their jobs with one hand tied behind their backs.
The results of their cuts are plain to see and communities are living in fear of violent offenders.
Fewer officers on the streets puts public safety at risk and every officer cut is a gift to criminals who know Scotland's overstretched police force can no longer investigate every crime.
Ministers must stop dithering, shut these loopholes and ensure public money is spent supporting victims - not criminals.
