   A good dose of reality on Scottish taxes.

     For a second time in his speech, Sarwar attacks the SNP for making Scots earning £28,500 and above pay more tax than elsewhere in the UK.

     “They can no longer pretend they’re on the side of working people in Scotland”

     
     

     @ross_greer:
     

     At £28,500 you'll pay £6 more in Scottish income tax versus rUK. For that you get:
     💊 Free prescriptions
     👩🎓 Free university tuition
     🚌 Free bus travel for under 22s & 60+
     👨🏫 Better pay for public sector workers like teachers
     & more

     Labour just oppose taxing the genuinely wealthy
