Reading a news story there that they want to increase taxes even further on higher earners. Is that their only solution? Maybe if they stopped wasting millions on fucking ferries then we might actually get somewhere. I have said this so many times. Scotland doesnt have a lot of higher rate tax payers thus we need more. At this rate, anyone over 40k will be paying 50% on anything about this rate. Not exactly encouraging further higher rate taxpayers. What should we be 'encouraging' here? Rich people paying less tax does not actually produce any more rich people. The folk living in schemes across Scotland are not deliberately withholding their activity and earnings capacity because of government tax policy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The proliferation of these chains and their SUV-driving moron customers is a pointless Americanisation of the Central Belt. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leith Green Posted May 29, 2023 Share Posted May 29, 2023 (edited) Probably won't get much media coverage, but the SNP accounts have been signed off. ETA, the Westminster ones, National accounts have a much longer deadline. Edited May 29, 2023 by Leith Green 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

strichener Posted May 30, 2023 Share Posted May 30, 2023 Another target set by Humza in one of his ministerial position has been missed. Not sure that this is actually newsworthy given how frequently it occurs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is beyond defence that people are waiting more than 1 year for an outpatient appointment or 2 years for a planned procedure. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Londonwell Posted June 6, 2023 Share Posted June 6, 2023 (edited) Kevin Pringle is an extremely impressive appointment from Humza Yousaf. Pray that there may now be a semblance of competency every now and again if Pringle is allowed to pull the strings.

Trogdor Posted June 6, 2023 Share Posted June 6, 2023 Surprised at this appointment tbh. Hopefully a sign that Humza is happy to break with Sturgeon and her inner circle and be his own man. It's the only chance he has of surviving in my opinion. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bennett Posted June 11, 2023 Share Posted June 11, 2023 Humza is a bigger jinx than Random Guy. This morning Humza Yousaf, told the BBC Nicola Sturgeon was “in a good place and doing well”, adding he welcomed advice from "one of the best politicians, the most impressive politicians, Europe has seen over the last couple of decades". Three hours later she's been arrested 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KirkieRR Posted June 11, 2023 Share Posted June 11, 2023 I thought he struggled. There were much better answers he could have given. Kuenssberg certainly didn't give him a hard time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
