Uncertain times

When unemployment was lower in Scotland than in England, Alex Salmond took the credit by claiming it was his “Plan McB”. Now Scotland’s unemployment is higher than England’s will the SNP admit something is going badly wrong with its economic plans? The constant uncertainty over the last referendum and a future referendum is damaging our economy just as much as the horrendous collapse in the oil price.
