Confidence vote in Brexit Britain

Sir, The news of the GlaxoSmithKline expansion investment of £275 million in Montrose and elsewhere in the UK surely makes the Nicola Sturgeon doommongering forecasts look rather silly.

EDF of France still proposes a £25 billion investment in UK nuclear energy and international banks are increasing their uptake of office space in London.

These are hardly the dire consequences being predicted from Bute House.

UK unemployment rates continue to fall and the pound is at a level that is a positive encouragement to investment, and provides competitive benefit to our exporters.

What’s not to like about that?

Interestingly, the GSK rationale for its expansion decision is reportSir, edly UK skills levels and attractive tax rates.

That translates into Government behaviour in the realms of education and sensible fiscal policy, things that the SNP has proved to be not particularly interested in, so fixated are members on separatist ambitions.

How refreshing it would be to see a change of direction from the SNP and a resolution to work more constructively in the overall governance of the UK, with a smidgen of decorum and gravitas in place of the juvenile antics recently witnessed and the seriously flawed economic forecasting.
