@Mike_Blackley More evidence that Holyrood is broken. It's an expensive failed test of devolution. Is other easy at all to point to any tangible positives in the last decade?
@Mike_Blackley If this happened and there is therefore a by-election for the MSP seat; let's say Reform win the seat. Does that make them official opposition with most seats behind the nationalists?
@The_Tman10 Whilst I agree. Perhaps the most enlightening part would be to read into WHY they have done this?
Business rates up 140% by SNP. Now paying more than all airports in scotland COMBINED.
This is what happens when you tax your way. Eventually, you run out of other peoples money.
@TomTugendhat Like anyone ok scotland knows.
Swinney and indeed the SNP are most likely nest ignored. Performative, yet dangerous, collection.
I'm considering leaving Scotland after 44 years as a result.
It would be completely wrong for a Government to stand by and allow companies to make excess profits from a war.
That’s why we’re taxing these windfall profits to help with the cost of living.
And why the Tories, Reform and the SNP are utterly wrong to oppose the windfall tax.
@CasinoCapital You don't even have to contribute to the tax system to become eligible. Perhaps why we are the most taxed nation in the UK. Most voting for the punitive taxes will never pay them. System is upside down.
@pieandbov@C_ENicolson It's also symptomatic of the weird hate St Mirren fans have of anything and anyone. No way would this happen at any other club.
It's not beautiful. It's pathetic. And every other clubthinksbits pathetic
@BarryAnderson_ The first and last friendly I'll attend. £72 for myself and a 6 year old. Utterly horrific viewing. Left after 60 mins.
By all means set up friendlies. Knowing it cost me £72 for an adult and child left a sour taste. Won't do it again.
Lush markets itself as an “ethical” company
FY24:
£674m turnover
~£4k UK corporation tax
They say UK losses are driven by “transfer pricing”
- internal pricing that shifts profit elsewhere
UK books the loss
tax gets paid elsewhere
Ethical branding. A bit of virtue signalling.
