EU Exit Analysis - November 2017

I had to commend the Tory Under Secretary of State for Exiting the European Union. As I thought it was impossible for this Government to get more incompetent … but they are doing a very good job of it!!!

When questioned about the Brexit impact assessments - He argued that while there was analysis of leaving there wasn’t qualitative analysis (ie predicting the financial effects). When I challenged him, arguing there is no point doing analysis without understanding financial consequences he then argued they had some; elsewhere he said it was now out of date and of no use. Logically, they must have some financial analysis that they want to hide.

The real concern remains – what analysis do they have for Scotland that they are hiding?

Scrap The Cap - September 2017

Supporting #ScrapTheCap at Parliament Square met dedicated Ayrshire staff. Tories found £30bn tax cuts so they can find money to scrap cap. UK Govt no qualms on giveaways for the wealthy while maintaining public sector pay cap - Tory priorities?!
