Happily livin the good life on the costa del Fife, my own views - even the really stupid ones 😉
BREAKING: “It is increasingly clear that as the world continues down this volatile path our long term national interest requires closer partnership with our allies in Europe and with the European Union.. Brexit did deep damage to our economy” Prime minister Keir Starmer 👏
Speaks for itself.
Scotland has a choice. It can continue being a place where you’re burdened with ever higher tax bills for worsening public services – a place of managed decline and mid-table mediocrity. Or it can be a place where effort and ambition are rewarded, encouraging expansion and growth. With Reform, our first budget would cut Scottish income tax so that it’s the lowest in the UK for everyone. And despite what Holyrood’s cosy consensus will try to tell you, it doesn’t take much. It requires just 3% of the budget to be trimmed. I spent decades turning businesses around, investing in those that had potential to make them profitable - that was my whole career! So I can tell you without a shadow of a doubt that you can trim 3% of an organisation’s budget without any impact on frontline services – especially when it’s one as ridiculously bloated and bureaucratic as the Scottish Government. So I refuse to settle for the cosy consensus. I’m ambitious for Scotland, and I want Scotland to reward ambition. For change, the only choice on May 7th is Reform.
NEW: Reform are subsidising prices at a petrol station in Buxton to promote their proposal to cut fuel duty in the wake of the Iran War - more on @skynews later
