Scotland spends £15bn more than it gathers in taxes , Westminster makes up the difference , if it goes it alone to just maintain their current status they would have to find that shortfall .

In addition extra funds already allocated since the start of the Covid are £7.2bn. That takes Holyrood's total spend this year above £50bn.

Lots more than that £7.2bn has been spent directly by the Treasury in Scotland, through the furlough scheme, business loans paid through banks, and an uplift in Universal Credit.

Yeh crack on bail out Scotland.
