KEY measures to boost Scotland’s economy are “impossible to deliver” in the UK political system as the Tories nor Labour will argue for them for fear of losing votes post-Brexit, a new analysis has concluded.
The paper, from independence project The Bottom Line, warns that the UK is in long-term economic decline and the signs are the pattern of slow growth and austerity will be repeated in the next decade.
Taking steps such as boosting immigration, rejoining the European Single Market and realising the “huge economic potential” in the transition to net zero could help avoid this.
