On top of the Scot's Finance Ministers dreadful behaviour, one has to wonder how a person so stupid as to send text messages over a public system, could have risen so high in politics? Just as well he's been found out now before he got into a position to do more damage, makes one wonder what else the SNP is going to surprise us with?

Utrickytree , definitely a more tolerant nation . But today you see how quick they act when wrong doing is revealved , shameful behaviour by Mckay , shameful but not illegal . He righty will lose a promising career.

I wish other nations acted so fast and files do not go misssing .

Almost 400,000 Scots hit with stealth tax as Derek Mackay's former deputy steps in to deliver Budget

Kate Forbes, the SNP's Public Finance Minister, froze the salary thresholds for paying the higher and top rates of income tax.

Hundreds of thousands of Scots are to be hit with a stealth tax worth up to £149 each, Derek Mackay's former deputy has announced as she stepped in to deliver his Budget at the last minute.

Kate Forbes, the SNP's Public Finance Minister, disclosed the salary thresholds for paying the higher and top rates of income tax will be frozen in 2020/21.

According to official forecasts, around 19,000 more taxpayers will now be dragged into paying higher rate tax when they receive their annual salary increases in April.

In addition, the Scottish Fiscal Commission said 370,000 existing higher and top rate tax earners will see their bills increase by £149 each.

Ms Forbes disclosed that freezing the higher rate threshold at £43,430, rather than increasing it by inflation, would generate an extra £51 million from workers....

According to Brexiteer Lord David Owen, the disagreement is a further sign that

this second phase of Brexit is set to be the biggest showdown yet in the terms of

the UK-EU relationship and predicted the negotiations will end with a “quite

serious crash”.

He told Express.co.uk: “It seems to me that this Government will not accept the

degree of entrenchment that Mrs May did.

“I personally think that we are actually heading for a quite serious crash.


“It would be much better to have that crash earlier and not wait.

“And if this is the case, we need to accept that there is not going to be a Free Trade Agreement (FTA).

“So my only instinct is that there is going to be a stand-off and quite a serious row on how we proceed.”

The former Labour foreign secretary and SDP leader noted: “We are never going to go into a Common Rule Book with the EU.

“And we are not going in ECJ supervision.

“We should openly accept that there is a complete disagreement and go for a minimalist deal by agreement.”

6089 good post.I am not a fan of share buyback ?myself!

We know the PPI will be reflected in the results, so this year should be a watershed, hopefully!

[gaffer73] 06/2/2020 19:05

Poor share price performance considering where the FTSE is, I'm assuming the results will be below par.

Give it 3 mnths Jacko the penny will drop & all the gritty chain smoking glaswegian & dundee nationalists will realise they've been sold gender bender rainbow independence. Sounds a bit like Labour trying to keep the working class vote & backing unfettered immigration. Next years Jockish elections will be a car crash me thinks

Douglas, who had served for four years in the US Navy during the Second World War, gazed at it scornfully. ‘What kinda ship d’you call that?’

‘A f____ing aircraft carrier,’ Harris replied. ‘In America they’re twice that size.’ ‘They’re twice that size because they have to carry twice the amount of sh__te.’
--------------------------------------------------------------------

Great story, Richard Harris one of the greats, there aren't any like Richard Harris, Albert Finney, Peter O'Toole and Oliver Reed any more.

All we have now is flakes like Cumberbatch, Hugh Grant, Steve bloody Coogan whose idea of Hell raising is to whine about Brexit or go canvassing with Jeremy Corbyn.

They work here because the trading range is so tight, this moves in a range 50/70p, so it should make a meaningful difference. I appreciate when company’s valuation is flying high, they generally do manage to buy at the peaks. I do not see why this should fall below 50p unless we head into another recession, maybe but then at that point the whole market is going to be slamdunked!
