Kind of Graeme Roy to say this at Committee today but the compliments must be returned to him and all his colleagues at @scotfisccomm. They have provided outstanding support to @SP_FinancePAC for the 5 years of this Parliament and also provided some wise advice to the next.

As always, this was a masterclass by @ProfGraemeRoy on the stark reality of Scotland’s fiscal situation. Every political party in the run up to the Holyrood election should be grilled on how they intend to deal with the scale of the challenge from 27-28 onwards. Worth catching up with this if you couldn’t attend yesterday. Thanks to the Stevenson Trust for organising this @UofGlasgow
