Domestic water in England & Wales is going up £10 a month. Why did BBC Breakfast give a 10% figure for Scotland? Looks dramatic - the reality is the average monthly household public water fee in Scotland will rise by £3.68 a month.

State of this? The guy that said he didn’t need the SNP to save Grangemouth - he just needed you to vote for him and his Labour Party. Now he grumbles in the wings…maybe drop the job tax you voted for Brian. A £500 million bill the public sector in Scotland didn’t need.
