flag Scotland’s first minister warns independence is needed to avoid economic decline under Starmer’s UK government.

flag Scotland’s First Minister John Swinney warned that without independence, Scotland risks a new wave of 1980s-style deindustrialisation under Prime Minister Keir Starmer, blaming Westminster for mismanaging the nation’s resources and failing key industries. flag He argued independence would allow Scotland to control its wealth and avoid economic decline, calling the current UK system “fundamentally broken.” In response, Scottish Labour and the Conservatives accused the SNP of using independence as a distraction from failures in public services, citing issues in healthcare, education, and infrastructure. flag The debate intensifies ahead of a potential independence vote in May 2026.
