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

If they don't stop increasing taxes and squandering money on their pet projects, then Scotland's economy will only continue to lag behind the rest of the UK.

John Swinney was clearly ignoring the warnings from business leaders and economists that continually hiking taxes kills growth.

Their economic approach has the country stuck in a dangerous doom loop of ever-increasing taxes and low growth, which is resulting in far less tax revenue being collected than expected.

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