It absolutely is relevant when Scottish voters go to the ballot box and the topic of independence. As much as I'd like what happens in the rest of the UK to be a balls up in a foreign country, it isn't.
Similarly Michelle Mone and the PPE scandal, aircraft carriers with no aircraft , Thames Water, etc. These are all examples of UK Government balls ups relevant for Scottish taxpayers as much as the rest of the UK. 400 million - on a boat that goes back into service today - is extremely small beer despite the best efforts of the BBC and unionist parties to portray that the SNP are uniquely capable of ballsing up.
One could equally argue a (similarly weak) point it's not relevant to this thread how bad the SNP get because an independent Scotland wouldn't necessarily vote SNP. All those competent unionist parties might win.
