Holding the Trumpian MSM Monitor to account

@Ross_Greer Serious question Ross - after the first £43k how much should people get to keep of their earnings. What is a fair level in your opinion

[MSM Monitor’s Monitor @Msm_Monitor_]

@Ross_Greer It’s now at the point people are turning down promotions, making larger pension contributions and avoiding Scotland. When are rates are too high total tax take drops - it’s so basic

[MSM Monitor’s Monitor @Msm_Monitor_]

@Ross_Greer Serious question Ross. Do you actually know the tax rates in Scotland and disincentive they are to people earning more. E.g if I earned £43,663 and was promoted to a job earning £60k I’d be £6k better off as that extra £16k would be taxed at an effective rate of 63% !!!!!!

[MSM Monitor’s Monitor @Msm_Monitor_]

@glenreynoldsSNP Pure MAGA style propaganda

The maximum saving for lower rate tax payers is a whole £23 (or 6p a day !!!) but someone on £50,000 pays 21% (£1,542) more tax than if they lived in England

@Joey7Barton Shush 🤐

@bigemptyheid @ScotlandBobby It’s clearly been infiltrated - but just by numpties !

@OlafSNP @HumzaYousaf @NewStatesman 😬you are absolutely right, but not in the way you think.

It'll make the cost of living crisis so much worse, particularly for the lowest paid.

Things might start to improve in 10-15 years though.

@bigemptyheid @outofunion details, mere details! Once Westminster repays the oil money to fund our Norwegian-style oil fund, it'll be so easy.

Just think about, we can reopen Ravenscraig, Linwood and all the mines again.

Cost of each job can't be more than £1m a pop (same cost as the ferry jobs)

[MSM Monitor’s Monitor @Msm_Monitor_]

@OlafSNP @LesleyRiddoch @IndyLiveStream @Celebs4indy @believeinscot Hands up who thinks Scotland would really have saved up a sovereign wealth fund. We would have blown it all keeping open Linwood, Ravenscraig and all the pits !

@LesleyRiddoch The Saltire 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 is Scotland’s flag, not the flag of your independence cult! Quit trying to steal it

[MSM Monitor’s Monitor @Msm_Monitor_]

@ScotNational actually 51% said they would vote no, but the poll assume only 80% of them would vote!

[MSM Monitor’s Monitor @Msm_Monitor_]

@Erudite4Unity the EU would likely accept an application from Scotland to join BUT ONLY if Scotland satisfied the entry requirements.

#1 on the list would be getting our deficit down towards 3% of GDP. Can the Nats please explain how we bridge that £20billion gap.

[MSM Monitor’s Monitor @Msm_Monitor_]

@lesleys20 so even with record oil revenues (not sustainable) the latest GERS report shows Scotland's deficit is 9% of GDP - and 10.8% without the oil revenues.

So to comply with the EU criteria of max 3% deficit where are the £15billion-£20billion savings coming from?

Please do tell?!

@ScotNational Sign here if you’re a snowflake ❄️…………………….

Is now a good time to point out that Wings Over Scotland's journalism is only possible because its readers support it with very modest monthly subscriptions?

@tim_brannigan What a lovely colourful event - everyone looks very happy although a bit unhealthy!

What’s it all about?

[MSM Monitor’s Monitor @Msm_Monitor_]

@bigemptyheid @KevinStewartSNP Don't let facts get in the way of good ol' nationalist propaganda!

[MSM Monitor’s Monitor @Msm_Monitor_]

@bigemptyheid @PeteWishart an extremely valid point!

[MSM Monitor’s Monitor @Msm_Monitor_]

@STVNews Where is the sense of outrage about what transpired with the SNP’s finances.

The Sturgeon cult and Trump cult are barely distinguishable now 🫣

[MSM Monitor’s Monitor @Msm_Monitor_]

@ConnorGillies @SkyNews These things always happen in 3s. Three of the most authoritarian populists - Trump, Boris and Sturgeon - having terrible weeks 😉
