Comment on UK Government’s £4.6bn business support package

Donald Cameron MSP with Douglas Ross MP

Highlands and Islands Scottish Conservative MSP Donald Cameron has welcomed today’s announcement by Chancellor Rishi Sunak of a further £4.6bn business support package.

Mr Cameron said: “This is a very welcome initiative and builds on the Chancellor’s earlier decision to extend the furlough scheme until April."

“I am particularly pleased that businesses in the hospitality, leisure and retail sectors stand to receive a one-off grant worth up to £9,000, given their importance to the local economy."

“This is all about using the United Kingdom’s financial resources to protect jobs and livelihoods, and help those businesses which have been struggling to survive the pandemic.”

SNP Failures and Broken Promises 1

SNP Failures

The SNP has become the Sorrow of Scotland: an incompetent cabal driven by a divisive and malign Nationalist Socialist ideology, implementing destructive policies that have seen areas like the economy, education, health and justice wrecked. It is doing real harm to tens of thousands of Scots, but the SNP sees that as a price worth paying to tear apart the Union.
The SNP's ever-growing list of failures in government, and its all-consuming obsession with separation and the destruction of the Union, need to be exposed for what they are: the on-going betrayal of the people of Scotland by an incompetent SNP cabal incapable of making good decisions or exercising good governance. Make no mistake: these are deliberate political decisions, driven by an ideology that does not care what harm it does to Scotland and its people.
The COVID-19 pandemic has, sadly, highlighted just how incompetent key SNP ministers have been, both in preparing for and then coping with such an emergency. The cover-up and blame-avoidance mentality has come to the fore, and - as ever - it is the most vulnerable in Scotland that are paying the price of repeated SNP failure.
On this page you will find a selection of the great swathe of SNP failures, reminders of how the tired and increasingly incoherent SNP government continues to pile catastrophe on chaos. The SNP continues to pursue its destructive obsession with separation - despite the clear and once in a generation democratic decision of you, the Scottish People, to back the Union and reject the core Nationalist policy of separation and division.

Occasionally we will also include examples of why Labour - a party rejected across the UK in 2019 and which still has to properly expunge the foul stain of anti-Semitism - is not to be trusted with anything, and certainly not anything as important as Scotland.
