Conservative finance spokeswoman Liz Smith said the “very precarious situation facing the Scottish economy”, with a “significant gap” between spending and resources, is “yet more proof of the SNP’s utter failure”. She highlighted “widespread concern in the Scottish business community that Scotland is the highest taxed part of the UK, with the serious detrimental effects this has had on innovation, jobs and growth”.
