@ScotTories

The real problem for @ScotTories is that these kind of offensive and toxic views are mainstream in the Conservative Party - from the top down.

There's nothing remotely surprising about this.

So Boris Johnson's big announcement in Scotland is a rehash of growth deals already in discussion with just £300m shared with Wales & NI.

For context, the Tory government still owes Scotland £billions in missing funds and a No-Deal Brexit could cost Scotland £12.7billion a year

❌ This doesn't scratch the surface of the £400million that the UK Government has failed to invest in City and Growth deals in Scotland, in order to match the SNP Scottish Government's much higher levels of investment.

❌ It doesn't make up for the £175million that Scotland's police and fire services are still owed in VAT refunds - which the Scottish Government has been pressing the UK government for over a number of years to no avail

Jeremy Corbyn’s refusal to join cross-party efforts to stay in the single market and customs union is a threat to jobs, incomes, and living standards for millions of people across Scotland and the UK. Labour members should call him out before it’s too late itv.com/news/2018-01-0…

We know that Tory plans to take us out of the single market and customs union would cost hundreds of thousands of UK jobs, and damage people’s incomes, living standards, and livelihoods for decades to come.

In Scotland alone a hard Brexit could cost in the region of 80,000 jobs and £2,000 a head - with a big hit to the Scottish economy: theguardian.com/uk-news/2016/o…
