flag Scotland's Finance Secretary calls for UK to adopt Scotland’s tax system to protect public spending.

flag Scotland's Finance Secretary, Shona Robison, has called for the UK to adopt Scotland's progressive tax system, arguing it would protect public spending and prevent financial crises like Labour's current fiscal issues. flag She made this call after the UK government had to backtrack on welfare changes. flag Robison claims Scotland's system, where higher earners pay more, allows for lower taxes for most and increased spending on services like the NHS. flag However, Daniel Johnson of Scottish Labour criticized the SNP's financial management, saying it misuses higher taxes on workers like nurses and firefighters instead of fostering economic growth.
