The Scottish SVR tax – some facts, and a warm-up last night for the main bout today at Holyrood


Newsnight Scotland gives some hard facts on the furore over the Scottish SVR tax debate that has been whipped up by the three Holyrood Opposition parties, with the Greens behaving strangely, apparently hell-bent on solving the entire deficit problem resulting from the UK ConLib cuts solely by taxing the Scottish people.

John Swinney will present the Government’s position in the Parliament today.

I found Andy Kerr's behaviour - accusing Alex Neil of lying - of lies, and deceit - quite disgraceful and unacceptable behaviour in a public debate. Alex Neil, being a robust and good-natured politician, will probably shrug it off. (I would have sought other remedies.)

There's hardball politics, and vigorous politics, but this contemptible showing is all too typical of Scottish Labour's gutter style.

Judge for yourself
