The Font Looks like we’re back to the “oil prices will remain high for the foreseeable future” nonsense which saw Salmond claim that anyone suggesting the oil price might ever fall below $120 was “scaremongering”. What was it the GCR said about oil & gas being a “bonus” again?

Arch Stainton This must be fake news... the Tories keep telling us Scottish oil is a drain on our economy and still keep the incomes!

Graeme Gibson It is our oil! We keep the oil, those down south can keep their damned Barnett formula

Steve Ivy The best thing to drive Scottish Economic growth until 2021 is for Sturgeon to stop whining about Indyref 2/3/4/5 and get on with her day job. After 2021 she can retire to Portugal when she is out of office.
