Well it’s probably the reason. At the moment Scotland doesn’t have enough control over its own finances in order to be in a position to provide anything like the furlough scheme for business and workers, hence we had to wait until the UK as a whole did it

So basically in that article she is putting an arm round the Scottish people, but there is nothing of substance there at all, Boris tried that before lockdown appealing for the UK to act like adults and socially distance, but unfortunately for him it ended in tears and he had to lock down, it does look like some folk need their hands held that is for sure

He said he was shaking hands in a hospital with covid patients...

Hard to treat the public like adults when the public sees you as an immature stuck up posh child

The Scottish government promises to “explore new ways to engage with the public as this pandemic progresses” and to “share our thinking at every stage”. Emerging from the lockdown will probably involve “tailoring options to, for example, specific geographies and sectors, or parts of the rural economy, or those able to work outdoors”. But going to the pub or attending public events is likely to be “banned or restricted for some time to come. Each one of us will have to adapt to this as the new normal, at least until we are sure that we can be more protected by a vaccine or treatment.”

how is any of that news if you are following what is actually going on, and looking at Spain, Italy and France

She told Marr she wouldn’t ease lockdown in line with the rest of the UK if she didn’t feel it was the right step, so she has the power?
