Under Nicola Sturgeon the SNP obsession with Indyref2 has led to uncertainty in the Scottish economy, stifling growth and resulting in the Scottish Fiscal commission forecasting that Scotland’s economy will continue to grow slower than the rUK in the next four years.

This despite the UK Government boosting the Scottish economy by providing more than a billion pounds of funding for City-Region deals throughout Scotland.

The SNP’s answer to this is to clobber nurses, police officers, our military and Scotland’s workforce with the highest taxes in the UK.

Sturgeon’s plans for Indyref2 are the biggest threat to Scotland’s future. The UK single market is three times more important to Scotland than the EU and yet the SNP wish to drag as out of the UK to be dictated to by European bureaucrats.

The Scottish Conservatives will make Scotland the fastest growing part of the UK.

Thanks to pooling and sharing of resources across the UK, the Union dividend brings a benefit of £1968 per person and Scotland’s budget will increase by £1.1 billion thanks to UK Government spending increases. In contrast the SNP blueprint for independence admits that leaving the UK would mean billions of pounds of cuts to our public services

We have set out plans to grow the Scottish Economy by driving up international exports, by improved focus on cities, towns and regions and an economic growth fund to stimulate the venture capital market and drive toward a highly skilled and highly paid Scotland.
