where do you get 'less tax' from? For the middle classes and up Income tax in Scotland is higher than the rest of the UK
I did work it out at the last budget, but can't lay my hands on my workings, but from memory I pay about £1200 more income tax than if I lived in England - but don't get me wrong. As far as I am concerned, Scotland is worth every penny, despite the SNP

I didn't realise that Scotland set it's own taxes, I bet Drakeford will want the same powers for Wales then god help us all here.

Mr Sturgeon has resigned 'with immediate effect' this is after their communications head resigned on Friday.  I'm just wondering if Mr Murrell, on his way out, told where the £600,000 was stashed  :cool:

Michael Rolls

and why he earlier denied the big drop in SNP membership - is Scotland finally waking up to SNP incompetence?

SNP Loses 40% of its Members Following Sturgeon's Gender Self-ID Reforms


Nicola Sturgeon has denied the SNP is in crisis as the party was forced to admit that more than 40% of its members have quit and her self-ID gender reforms were blamed for a recent mass exodus.

After weeks of refusing to provide the figure, the SNP said only 72,186 members were eligible to vote in the leadership contest – a drop of more than 50,000 on the 125,000 total the Nationalists boasted of in 2019.

In an astonishing decline, the total is believed to have dropped by more than 10,000 in this year alone as Ms Sturgeon became embroiled in a toxic political scandal over her self-ID gender reforms.

The membership tally also represents a drop of more than 30%| (31,698) on the last published count of 103,884 at the end of 2021, barely 14 months ago.

Ms. Sturgeon insisted her 89-year-old party was experiencing "growing pains" during the contest.

Just the latest instance of go woke, go broke. Will they ever learn?

I've just watched the news with utter amazement as McPakistani is sworn in as First Minister.

If I hadn't known it was in Scotland I'd have thought the scene of the gathering at the foot of the stairs was in Karachi.

I'm pleased that Kate Forbes, a committed Christian who stuck to her principles which probably cost her the leadership, & whose family are generations of ethnic Scots, has refused to serve under a Muslim from an immigrant family.

Especially when he took the piss by demoting her to the job of rural affairs.

I'd be tempted to say I'll swop him for Sunak .... but I'm not sure who the winners or losers would be.

We can always hope come a general election the SNP will be out on their ears.  It wouldn't have happened under Krankie, but maybe this fella will carry on making mistake after mistake, as I believe he did in other jobs and the Scottish people will at last see the light..

Alex, there is a huge diaspora of Scots within the UK who have never had a say on separating the country, however anyone who just happens to be living in Scotland does.

I guess the Scottish Parliament decided no vote for Scots not living in Scotland, wonder why ?   :grin:  What I find a bit distasteful is this Yousaf person gave his oath of allegiance in Urdu.   Now what the hell was that all about ? this is not Pakistan !

The more I listen to his racist comments, the more angry I get. With that attitude, the man is totally unsuitable for the position he has achieved. Had someone been complaining about coloured persons in positions of power, you can just imagine the uproar that would have resulted.
