Scottish Politics / Independence - Vol 11
Discussion
Interesting article in the Scotsman this morning. during the leadership campaign Humza pledged to look at increasing tax on higher earners to help with child poverty.

"Another think-tank, the Institute for Public Policy Research Scotland, said the First Minister’s pledge to introduce a new tax band between the top two tax bands would result in lifting thousands of children out of poverty if the funds were used to increase the Scottish Child Payment.
Such a tax band would cover earnings between £43,662 and £125,140, with IPPR Scotland assuming a new income tax rate of 45 per cent for those who earn above £58,285, a three-percentage point increase on the current rate.
This, the think-tank said, would raise around £257m, £4m below the amount needed to increase the Scottish Child Payment to £40 a week. IPPR Scotland said such a move would lift 20,000 more children out of poverty in addition to the 40,000 who are already set to be lifted out of poverty with the current £25 per week payment."

A 58-year-old man has been arrested in connection with an investigation into the funding and finances of the Scottish National Party, Police Scotland said.
The party is subject to a police investigation into whether £600,000 earmarked for independence campaigning was diverted elsewhere in 2021.
Former first minister Nicola Sturgeon faced questions in the weeks before she stepped down over a £107,000 loan from her husband Peter Murrell, 58, to the SNP, of which he was chief executive.
Oh my. That's a doozie if it just so happens to be the same 58 year old man. Never mind the popcorn, there will be an international champagne shortage if the House of Murrell comes crashing down.The party is subject to a police investigation into whether £600,000 earmarked for independence campaigning was diverted elsewhere in 2021.

Metro reporting several addresses being searched and geres me thinking Sturgeon and Pete lived in a happy harmonious settled family home together.
Could this all bring down Humza faster than Truss collapsed?

Numerous other criminals escaping jail because of SNP "justice" policy.
