The sad thing is, economics isn’t an objective science but presents itself as such. It’s very much ‘vibes’ based – do businesses feel it’s a good time to invest or not? To hire or not?
If it only was that simple, the low birthrate alone is hard to tackle. But at least we’re focussing now on something else than just independence.
Build a strong country and build a strong base for independence.
How refreshing. The SNP for the first time in years actually talking about something that matters.
How?
As long as it’s not on a Sunday, it’s the sabbath for her.
Open a proper gay village in Glasgow or Edinburgh and get flights and trains up for UK gays to visit and spend money. Promote whisky as a gay drink at the same time. Steal business from Andy burnham’s Manchester and green Brighton. Gays spend lots of money and will revitalise these deprived cities. Euro gays will probably visit too.
Im not an economic expert or anything, but if they fixed the road network, that would boost the economy…
Why not some populist policies instead.
It’s refreshing to finally hear someone talk this way in Scottish politics. The climate crisis will not be resolved by impoverishing ourselves and to redistribute wealth you have to create it first.
No-one gives a shit about economic growth when the rich continue to get rich and the poor poorer. What are they actually going to do to make peoples lives better? She’s a austerity loving neoliberal at heart
Free the weed!
Why do they use “firing on all cylinders” to mean “working to max potential” when it really means “not fucked”
Legalise weed, build a new industry, MASSIVE tourism revenue boost, jobs, and a reduction in the black market.
Or, just tax the ever living shit outta us and say it’s to fix the economy.
Leaning to the right and back to the centre.
So she’s got nothing specific to say after all this time?
By doing what? Starting by banning abortion and same sex marriage?
So did the last fucker and the one before that and before that . All u do is talk pish and take a healthy wage hame .
I thought the economy was a turbine?
It’s all about EVs now Kate.
Update your analogies.
