This is a treasury in crisis. The independent OBR published its forecast before the Chancellor started her statement - showing a lack of confidence in her economic plans.
No confidence in her plans. No credibility. A government in chaos from day one.

Scotland raises ~£91bn annually and remains a top destination for foreign investment. Onshore GDP grew 1.1% last year, and it was the UK's top FDI location outside London.
The OBR forecasts show the UK economic model is weak - but Scotland’s economy remains strong.

First preferences in Buckhaven, Methil & Wemyss Villages show strong support for @snp.org, while Labour’s vote collapsed to third.

Great to be out on the campaign trail with Josh Fyvie, our energetic candidate in the Stirling East by-election.
Only the SNP delivers real support to people struggling with the cost of living and offers the fresh start for Scotland with independence.

The SNP introduced free tuition and we will always ensure Scottish students do not pay tuition fees.
Meanwhile in England, students pay over £9,500 a year and Labour will put fees up every year.
Education must always be based on the ability to learn, not the ability to pay.

Great to see this investment coming to Scotland. 🏴🇨🇳
China is a global leader in renewable energy, and MingYang’s investment will bring a significant boost to Scotland’s growing green economy.
Just imagine what we could do with independence.

I welcome this agreement between the SNP and BiS - a great step towards working with the wider independence movement.

Seizing a humanitarian flotilla in international waters is an act of state aggression and a breach of international law.
Israel must be held to account, and the UK government must act now to secure the release of the Scottish nationals kidnapped by Israeli forces.

Good news from the latest stats: unemployment is falling in Scotland, and remains below the UK.
But Labour’s rise in employers’ national insurance still holds us back, making it harder for businesses to hire.
It’s a tax on jobs and it must be reversed.
