Bacause it is sometime since I have needed these figures in Scotland. The fact that Scotland has elected the SNP for what will be 25 years indicates how well they have done. They are elected in the face of complete Unionist propaganda as well. Which people on here are regurgitating.

Historical Deficit Trends (GERS Data)
- 2000-2010: Scotland’s fiscal position was strongly supported by high oil prices, with periods where the fiscal gap was relatively low or occasionally in surplus depending on revenue calculations.
- 2010-2015: As oil revenues dropped, the deficit widened, with the nominal deficit growing from 5% of GDP in 2011/12 to 8.3% in 2012/13.
- 2015-2020: The deficit averaged around 6% of GDP, notably higher than the UK average.
- 2020-Present: The COVID-19 pandemic caused a significant spike to nearly 38 billion in 2020-21. While decreasing, it remains high, with the 2024-25 deficit at £26.2 billion. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
My favourite is that prescriptions are free in Scotland whilst everywhere else they're not. I always believed that even though I've now found it's SNP propaganda.
In England 89% of prescription drugs are free, so the SNP cover the bill for the remaining 11%, whilst Scottish taxpayers pay more per head than anyone else in the UK.
SNP magic.

As someone who's 40% Scottish I have a vest interested obviously
You do mate, don't mind me bro I love others creating the conversation or any chaos that ensues. I got no interest in the SNP so tend to just scroll straight pass Spurfs stats, and by the sounds of what you and Solid say it's all bullshit anyway. Must admit the prescription lark caught my eye, but as has been discussed before, anyone can buy a prescription card and get their initial prescription charge refunded if paid. Well I think anyone. Although ****ing glad I don't pay for my prescriptions, it'd be cheaper to die lolAs someone who's 40% Scottish I have a vest interested obviously
Richard Murphy was the financial advisor to Jeremy Corbyn and created "Corbynomics"
Regarding Murphy's opinion on GERS "At a subsequent appearance before the Holyrood, Finance and Constitution Committee, Murphy was however criticised for being unable to justify some of these claims"
