We have people who live in areas that are quite expensive and if people need local housing allowance they will need to move somewhere cheaper.
John Swinney should be prioritising bringing down people’s bills, growing Scotland’s economy, restoring standards in schools and backing new drilling in the North Sea.
But I do feel the pull to Scotland because I see it as a place that should be more conservative than it is. I see it as a place that feels like it gets ignored by Westminster.
I don’t think that this is anything like what happened with Windrush, where there were people who had citizenship but couldn’t prove it.
