"Scotland couldn't possibly exist on its own financially." Mike Parry doesn't think Sturgeon's dream of an independent Scotland was ever going to happen. He adds: "It's dependent on money from Westminster." Jasmine Dotiwala OBE Jeremy Vine | Here, on Tiktok, Insta & Facebook | #JeremyVine

@mikeparry8 @jasminedotiwala @theJeremyVine I have a degree in economics. Invite me on the programme with @MikeParry8 & let's have a proper debate on the Scottish economy.

@mikeparry8 @jasminedotiwala @theJeremyVine England would be a basket case without our oil, gas, renewables, fishing grounds, food, drink, Scotland is a net exporter. What do you bring to the table? Russian money laundering? Truss? Johnson?

@mikeparry8 @jasminedotiwala @theJeremyVine never heard of this guy before, and dont watch JV. But i'll bite... what resources does England have that Scotland needs and relies on?

@mikeparry8 @jasminedotiwala @theJeremyVine Should I know who @mikeparry8 is. Does he have a vote here? If not, he could be talking about something else that involves him or even something he knows about.

@mikeparry8 @jasminedotiwala @theJeremyVine Uh huh….

@mikeparry8 @jasminedotiwala @theJeremyVine "Dependent on money from Westminster" as (most) taxes are raised by UK Gov, go to the UK treasury and then some of it is given back to Scotland to run its domestic affairs. The idea Scotland couldn't fund itself is a nonsense that has become an article of faith for unionists.

@mikeparry8 @jasminedotiwala @theJeremyVine It is an old English lie

@mikeparry8 @jasminedotiwala @theJeremyVine Perhaps we try this out; Scotland keeps the revenues from its oil ,gas renewables, whisky , and fishing grounds ,in return we'lll relinquish the nuclear bases and the U.K can take the profits they generate Deal ?
