Billionaire David Reuben says he quit UK for Monaco ... actually already there since 2014. Worth £28bn, objects to non-dom tax changes. Doesn't want to be taxed on the same basis as UK residents Super-rich happy to make profits in the UK, want special treatment, hold govts to ransom.

England-as-UK is broke. So much for the glib ‘Better Together’ lies on the UK’s economic strength and security. Waiting as a servant at WM’s table is no longer an option, will the SNP govt stand up and urgently deliver Scotland’s right to self determination and democracy? 👇

12 years ago the Conservatives promised Scotland ‘devo-max’. Now they show contempt for democracy and plan a powergrab of devolved powers. When we reject them at the ballot box, their answer isn't to improve their policies, it's to threaten the Parliament Scotland elected.

Why is there no UK tax levied on dividends paid to foreign owners??? UK Westminster governments are failing in their duty to protect citizens not foreign owners.

When the BBC Scotland channel was launched, we said it was set up to fail. If we had 1% of the money the BBC takes from Scottish licence payers we would provide a full schedule of programmes. We only exist because of the generosity of grass roots supporters. www.broadcastingscotland.scot/donate/

Unionist Party policy announcements regarding Scotland are driven on one premise. What will go down well with the English Electorate (that's the voter segment that wins general elections) The more robustly, arrogantly and autocratically they kick Scotland the better it will go down.
