SNP Scotland has made £500million Emergency CUTS
 
[The Scottish government has confirmed
spending cuts of up to £500m.

Finance Secretary Shona Robison
said the "direct savings" were necessary
to support the Scottish
government's 2024/25 budget.

In a pre-budget fiscal update to the
Scottish parliament on Tuesday,
Ms Robison said:
"Prolonged Westminster austerity,
the economic damage of Brexit,
a global pandemic, the war in Ukraine,
and the cost of living crisis have all placed
enormous and growing pressure on the
public finances."]


[The cuts have been made ahead
of the UK government's budget
in October, which Sir Keir Starmer
has warned is going to be "painful".]

Did we ever hear any more about Hamza Useless's £250,000 donation to Gaza of Scottish money the day before his family was released? I'm sure that's money that might have been better spent in Scotland.

Yes indeed, I agree.

Over the weekend at the SNP conference.
One of those reporting on their conference stated that the investigation into the SNPs finances was STILL ongoing.

The scottish finances have been mismanaged for years, the UK has bailed them out numerous times, particularly during covid. We never hear anything about that in their independence talks
