More hardship and hollowing out of public spending are the very last thing Scotland needs when economic inequality is rising, poverty rates are stubbornly high and climate change targets are crumbling. Our response to the statement in Scottish Parliament by Shona Robison MSP ⬇️

“The lesson of the past decade is clear: Scotland can’t cut its way to a wealthier, fairer, greener economy" Our full response to the Scottish Government’s decision to make £500m of spending cuts:

Every cut announced by the Scottish Government today will scar generations to come. It’s a shambles that we’re awaiting salvation from the UK Government when our government in Holyrood could have done so much more to help. Full statement below👇 stuc.org.uk/blogs/news/168…

In the last year, Common Weal, Future Economy Scotland and @Scottish TUC ALL published reports with progressive measures to prevent public spending cuts through reform of council tax, taxing wealth and land reform. This could have been avoided if ScotGov showed any imagination. 🧵

STUC proposed the introduction of wealth taxes, replacing the council tax with a proportional property tax and introducing a super tax on private jets. This would have raised £2.6bn. stuc.org.uk/news/news/stuc…

You can't cut your way to growth. It just doesn't add up.
