Instead of reining in Scotland's out-of-control benefits bill, Swinney and his new finance secretary Jenny Gilruth are clearly intent on raising tax even further on people and business to fund their endless profligacy.
Every single Scot is over £2,700 better off because we are part of a strong United Kingdom.
John Swinney and his ministerial colleagues need to accept their approach is going to mean more pain for Scots in the coming years, through more tax rises or spending cuts or both.
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.
