There's a very very very simple reason why nothing Labour do ever moves the needle on the parlous state of the UK economy.

This isn’t just a slogan; it’s a consequence. When the ‘British’ state imposes a Brexit we rejected and an economic model that fails us, it clarifies who we are. Why accept a political identity that consistently acts against your interests? #ScottishNotBritish

Did you know, the total value of whisky aging in Scotland is greater than the UK's entire gold reserves!
310 tonnes of gold,£22–£25 billion.
Whisky in Bond,
22 million casks valued between £30 billion to £100 billion+!
No wonder England won't let us escape with 75% of that going to HMRC London!

We're not truthfully told how much Scotch Whisky there is in Scotland.
The UK Duty regime is absolutely ludicrous, 75%!
Could you imagine, launching a Product and being told, three-quarters of it will be Tax? Bonkers!
It's hampering growth, only a fool now doesn't want Scottish Independence.

I think we all knew that the UK COVID inquiry would result in a stitch up of our First Minister. We were right.
What it highlights clearly is the ignorant, arrogant and dismissive attitude of Westminster - particularly No.10 - towards our Government.
