Wales is almost as big a per capita net beneficiary from the UK treasury as Scotland is.

Most of England is as well for that matter. London and the southeast are the net contributors, but then that’s to be expected in a country as heavily centralised as ours. And in case you were thinking of feeling sorry for all those southerners paying for our stuff, they do get a lot of infrastructure advantages to support all their tax-raising industry. So don’t.

Nicola Sturgeon unveils case for Scottish independence
Scotland's first minister Nicola Sturgeon launches a fresh independence campaign and says she "stands ready" to negotiate with PM Boris Johnson to hold a second referendum.
When the country held the first vote in 2014 its go-ahead was possible because the UK government granted the necessary power, called a Section 30 order.
However, in the near eight years that have passed two Conservative prime ministers - Theresa May and Mr Johnson - have refused to give that order a second time.
Ms Sturgeon now says she is confident that Scotland can navigate towards a legal independence vote and the detail of how that could be done would be presented to the Scottish Parliament "very soon".

Re: Will Scotland Leave the UK?
The wee yin really is obsessed with this thing. She can't actually focus on trying to run a country.

I don't see how any one could think of investing in Scotland with these head cases in charge.

Of course, she doesn't seriously think it will shift. This is all about maintaining the unity of the cause by giving the appearance of momentum.

Fed up with Nicola and her Indy 2, she knows we do not want it but she is trying to hold onto her job by pleasing her followers, Scotland would be in the gutter with Westminster, We need all nations to stay together,

Re: Will Scotland Leave the UK?
I assume Sturgeon is raising independence now as she knows Johnson is in a defensive position. Not that he will change his mind, but it will distract him from other matters.

Re: Will Scotland Leave the UK?
Still no sign of what real policies they would want to pursue that would magically increase things like productivity and GDP.
Too many of their comparator countries have advantages that are unique to them or they got in there first and there is little room for newcomers.
