Scottish independence would be an "economic disaster", Boris Johnson claimed yesterday while on a flying visit to Fife.
The Prime Minister said the nationwide response to the coronavirus pandemic had proved how the UK had "benefited massively from the might of the UK Exchequer" which enabled furlough payments during lockdowns.
And Johnson also attempted to play down the fall-out with his Conservative colleagues in Scotland - and insisted Douglas Ross was doing a "very good job" leading the party north of the Border.
