At First Minister’s Questions, Russell Findlay lambasted the SNP for creating a £1.1 billion economic performance gap with the rest of the UK.

The SNP’s economic incompetence is costing Scotland a fortune.
The Nationalists’ anti-business policies have created a billion-pound black hole because of the economic performance gap with the rest of the UK.
It’s scandalous that over the last 10 years, the SNP’s failure to keep up with the rest of the UK has cost Scotland around £5.4 billion.
The SNP have raised taxes on Scottish workers to pay for their own blunders and incompetence.
John Swinney’s government has made it even worse by wasting billions of pounds of taxpayers’ money on the endless ferry scandal, a National Care Service that treats no patients, a one-billion pound Barlinnie with bird and bat boxes, and an annual benefits bill that will soon top £9 billion.
Unbelievably, Labour have looked at the SNP’s economic record and decided to copy them. Rachel Reeves is shafting businesses, workers, farmers and the oil and gas industry.
Labour have already raised National Insurance but there are even higher bills to come. The Spending Review signals a return to tax and spend. It’s a spend-now-tax-later budget.
