Have they said how they will fund the 1.5bn gap between income and expenses? But of extra income tax won't do it.
Wait for the exodus to start again...

Failed state ran by economically illiterate ideologists.
Scotlands very own version of 'levelling up': taxing middle earners, small businesses, grafters, entrepreneurs and single income families as if they're 'rich', so if you work hard or hardly work, everyone takes home a sh!t wage.
"Work hard at school, get a good job, and you'll be set for life" is now "survive school, work yourself into the grave for the taxman. Or if you've got any sense just don't bother"
Try and achieve something, anything, and tall poppy syndrome rears its ugly head. The more I think about it, Shona Robison and this government are the distillation of the dour poker faced types telling anyone with drive "not to get above your station". All their promises about “free” university education (£900 million PA) and “free” prescriptions, it’s painfully obvious that someone has to pay for the SNP’s electioneering.
As is often said about Scots who left, and those who stayed behind: "Those with any 'get up and go' got up and left".

One page of paper this morning “£17m hole in public services”, but council tax been frozen again.
Few pages away - first ministers wife is interviewed about a pet scheme encouraging people to “talk to lampposts”
It’s all the fault of England of course.
Specific to agriculture, well what are we up to now £50 or £60m out of that budget? but it’s ok, it’s ring fenced, it must be returned, just can’t say when or how much or where it’s gone.

Only good think about brexit is it shows what a cluster-f**k independence would be to the Scottish economy.
All SNP care about is keeping the council housed folks of the central belt happy.

Devolution - it appears to only work for politicians. This may be of interest.

Petition: Hold a Referendum to abolish the Scottish Parliment
We want the goverment to arrange a referendum to give voters the chance to decide whether the Scottish Parliament should be abolished.

Seven green party MSPs control the vote outcome in Scottish parliament
Lucky enough to worrying about £75k tax threshold?
No need, the greens will bankrupt all agriculture after they get their way with subsidy reforms
Exactly, would be a nice position to be in having to worry about paying that much tax! That only affects about 5% of the population

It remains to be seen exactly what mechanism can / will be used to reign in Scotland's reluctance to balance their budget. Their current deficit is way in excess of what would be allowed for entry into the Euro.

Tax rates are higher for a lot of people. 50k salary pay an extra £1500 compared to south of the border.

75k these days isn’t a lot of money in business terms. Higher threshold should be more like 250k. There are a lot of businesses holding back to stay away from being in the higher tax bracket. I’ve said many times they would collect more tax by lowering the tax rate and collecting a little from more people, would be less tax avoidance and be more of an incentive for business growth.
