Stephen Kerr: “This absolutely stinks and undermines public confidence in Scotland's legal aid system.”

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…

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.

Something is clearly going wrong when the number of fixed penalty notices is so shockingly low compared to the amount of graffiti Scots see on their streets and in their towns.

The results of their cuts are plain to see and communities are living in fear of violent offenders.
