HMRC data shows that the average amount of tax paid by top earners in Scotland fell in 2024-25, the first year in which the SNP Government imposed a top 48p rate.

The opposite has happened, of course. Let this be a lesson for the high-tax fanatics in Burnham's government.

@theSNP DO NOT have a vision for Scotland, itโs just the same old slogans stitched together to keep the gravy train rolling and the 15% of Scots who keep them in power onside.
Never a plan to convince a majority, never answers, just reheated indy mince and grievance to cover up for their incompetence and malfeasance.
@DaveHP_ Great effort by Josh but his best result was the speed he ran from the nasty party trying to run Scotland.
