Regardless of your views on independence, it is difficult to come to any conclusion other than that Westminster abuses and does not value Scotland.

8% of fishing fund for Scotland despite 40% of the UK fleet, >60% of UK fishing capacity and >60% of seafood exports.

UK fishing fund offer to Scotland is 'madness', minister told

Labour ministers have been criticised for giving less than 8% of a £360m package to Scotland, which lands more than half of the UK's catch .

Starmer says the SNP insults Scotland by planning for independence. The only one insulting Scotland is Starmer with his refusal to even say how another referendum will be held. If this continues the SNP should consider withdrawing its MPs from Westminster

I benefited from having tuition paid plus money to help with living costs as a student. This gives Scottish students a feeling of gratitude towards their country and a belief in giving back to their communities, unencumbered by debt that might reduce future ability to contribute to civic society.

Another day under a Labour government.

Higher education must remain open to everyone, not just those who can afford it.

Tuition fees saddle young people with decades of debt that many will never pay off.

Scottish Greens will always oppose their introduction in Scotland.

Times Higher Education. Labour commits to automatic tuition fee rises. Fees to rise with inflation for next two academic years with automatic annual increases then set to be introduced.
