Holding LibDems councillors accountable for delivering value to LBRuT residents

[Darren Munday @SaveLBRuT]

@sarahjolney1 you had the opportunity to ask a question at PMQs and what do you focus on - Indefinite Leave to Remain for foreign nationals?

What about:
> Small boats National Emergency?
> High unemployment?
> Lack of business investment?
> Failing economy?
> Cost of Living Crisis?
> Defence?
> High inflation?

Everything that is wrong with the @LibDems @TRLibDems @Gareth_Roberts_ waste of time protest party….

How about focusing on us, the British nationals, who pay your wages?

@StuartBudd1 Brexit hasn’t been delivered, unfortunately

[Darren Munday @SaveLBRuT]

@theSNP Are you talking about the £2 billion tax revenue this year, reducing to £100m in 2029-30?

That ‘energy wealth’?

[Darren Munday @SaveLBRuT]

Did you know….

2025/26 - Scotland

Total Public Spending:

- £123.6 billion (a 4.8% increase from the prior year).

- Total Revenue Raised: £98.3 billion (a 6.9% increase, driven by tax threshold freezes and employer national insurance adjustments)

- Notional Fiscal Deficit: £25.3 billion (which represents 10.9% of Scotland's GDP, compared to the wider UK deficit of 4.2%).

@RichardGCorbett Referendums address constitutional issues…like our relationship with the EU.

Like Strategy - you don’t change course constantly

[Darren Munday @SaveLBRuT]

@Suewilson91 Thick as mince…

GE’s are held every 5 years and select ‘the government of the day’

Referendums address constitutional changes and are held ‘once in a lifetime’

[Darren Munday @SaveLBRuT]

@Eddystone506 @Nintenmarz A weighted average….?

Seriously.

You’re a 🤡

[Darren Munday @SaveLBRuT]

@Eddystone506 😂🤣 this guy is so desperate….

1) Average (27:1) is the wrong measure

2) U.K. vs G7 peers (France, Germany, Italy)…we all know U.K. real GDP growth has outpaced our peers

*The EEC has not existed since 1993 🤡

[Darren Munday @SaveLBRuT]

@LauraEWebsterr Does your analysis include the cumulative Barnett formula payments since devolution that total £700bn - £800bn?

Asking for a friend…

You know UK taxpayers paid 50% of Scotland’s public spending this year, 79% last year…whilst the SNP run a 10% budget deficit…?

[Darren Munday @SaveLBRuT]

@BobSmithWalker Weak on logic and those all important facts….

UK taxpayers paid 50% towards Scotland’s public spending this year and 79% last year…..

[Darren Munday @SaveLBRuT]

You had a once in a generation democratic vote in 2014.

@theSNP stated this was the agreed position at the time of the Referendum.

You stated if the @theSNP achieved a majority in 2026 this should trigger another independence vote.

You didn’t achieve the 65 seats required for a majority. Support for the SNP declined.

Why is the SNP running a 10.9% budget deficit? You couldn’t run a brothel next to a dockyard.

[Darren Munday @SaveLBRuT]

@Hamill2086John £5m….?

@theSNP running a £25.3 billion (or 10.9% of GDP) budget deficit in 2025-26.

This despite a record £50bn Barnett formula payment.

Clown show.

[Darren Munday @SaveLBRuT]

That’s correct….

The Office for Budget Responsibility forecasts that total UK North Sea oil and gas tax receipts (comprising offshore corporation tax, petroleum revenue tax, and the Energy Profits Levy) will be around £4.1 billion for 2025–26….

Declining to £100m in 2030-31….

[Darren Munday @SaveLBRuT]

@Rmca18 William Wallace wasn’t running a 10.9% budget deficit, unlike the SNP…..

[Darren Munday @SaveLBRuT]

You won’t need your £34 billion Barnett payment this year then (£50bn the previous year)?

Hold on, that payment accounts for 50% of Scotland’s public spending (79% the previous year)….

Even though North Sea Oil & Gas revenues are c. £2bn this year…

Don’t worry, the @theSNP will still manage to run a 10.9% budget deficit (12% the previous year).

🤡

[Darren Munday @SaveLBRuT]

@WillieL1959 @VinceMoran12 @snp Typical response when your narrative falls apart when presented with the facts.

The normal playbook is -

> put out a narrative that is nonsensical

> deny the official data

> double down on the narrative

[Darren Munday @SaveLBRuT]

@AberdeenIndy @VinceMoran12 @snp Best you go back to your job in the warehouse 😂

You’re blocked for being economically illiterate, intentionally misleading and promoting ideology over facts.

[Darren Munday @SaveLBRuT]

In 2025-26 (the previous FY) the initial core settlement allocated by the UK Treasury was £47.6 billion, which later increased to £50 billion following the UK Main Estimates process.

This included a historic £3.4 billion top-up via Barnett consequential.

The Scottish Government set its total spending budget at £63.4 billion.

U.K. Taxpayers contributed 79% towards Scotland’s public spending, and the @theSNP retards still manage to run up a 12% budget deficit 🤡

[Darren Munday @SaveLBRuT]

@GreenBhoy1967 @VinceMoran12 @snp That’s correct, we do have £3 trillion of debt.

Doesn’t change the basic facts about Scotland’s budget, the Barnett Formula and the 10% budget deficit. It was 12% the previous year, so I guess we should pat the SNP on the back 🤭 this compares to a U.K. average deficit of 4%
