DECISIONS made in Downing Street are responsible for skyrocketing prices, energy bills and the highest rate of inflation in the G7, the Scottish Greens have claimed ahead of the release of the annual Government Expenditure and Revenue (GERS) figures.
Speaking ahead of the controversial estimate of the Scottish fiscal position – which has often faced criticism over the manner in which it is calculated – Scottish Green finance spokesperson Ross Greer MSP commented that “huge damage” is being inflicted to the Scottish economy by “a Westminster government that simply doesn’t care about the consequences for ordinary people and which won’t give Scotland the powers we need to make different choices.”
