"and continue to reduce the deficit" Care to comment @JohnSwinney?

That audience dude is Scot Arthur from Edinburgh Mr T, very prominent anti independence running up to 2014 indy ref. Now am MP. He's probably Brit agent. Rewarded with MP. Very tasty, very in love with English rule.

Swinney had never had the ability to reframe the answer that he's rehearsed When he's challenged on anything he just repeats what he previously said. So tiresome.

In Scotland cost of SNP ministers per capita is £229,000 twice as expensive as UK that is £122,000 per capita.... SNP, incompetent, over bloated and overly expensive and we Scottish taxpayers pay highest tax in UK with 20 years of declining Scottish standards

If £8.3b is the updated figure in 2014 compared to the £12.6b given in 2013's Scotland's Future, that's quite a drop in the average. Reflects the volatility of oil I guess.

Still waving his hands to every syllable...

Good old double speak

Why is there no GERE?

Here he is Mr T, all the way from Westminster, rule Britannia ya jock bams. He has done well out of English rule. Why are you not an MP yet? x.com/DrScottArthurMP?lang=e…

That was 12 yrs ago man! Tell us all how you got kicked out of the financial industry colonialist Sam.

@JohnSwinney you currently display the vanity of someone of limited ability who inside cannot believe how lucky he is that anyone listens to him.

What's your point?

I wonder why?🤔
