To govern is to choose, and the SNP Government has put its money where its mouth is. The SNP has increased tax on the highest earners to increase funding for our NHS - while all Labour offers is soundbites and austerity. 👏 Every single word from John Swinney is... spot on.show more

@JohnSwinney £28k is NOT a high earner Olaf. Who is going to pay your wages when the Westminster Short Money disappears?

@JohnSwinney But our SNHS don’t get the money as the SNP squander it. No one would mind paying the highest tax rates in the U.K. if we got what we paid for in our services but our money gets spent on failure after failure. It has to stop.

@JohnSwinney The SNP has increased tax on people earning modest amounts. And their higher tax take doesn’t even bring in much revenue. It pays for about 3 days of NHS costs. Swinney - former finance minister - can’t even count.

@JohnSwinney Yet Scotland's public services are getting worse - not better!

@JohnSwinney £28,000 isn’t a high wage. Are you really peddling these lies?

@JohnSwinney People earning over £28k are not the highest earners, teachers, police officers, tradesmen etc etc. You are right about the SNP putting money where their mouth is though, absolute charlatans who have stuffed their face on the Gravy train at our expense.

@JohnSwinney *** CORRECTION *** The SNP administration has put TAXPAYERS' MONEY where it's mouth is!

@JohnSwinney So the SNP increased taxes while not spending money from the EU! Surely taxes didn’t need to increase had they not created a massive hole in their budget? What did they do with the £2.5B that the auditors couldn’t find ?

@JohnSwinney On the highest earners? Such as nurses, teachers, police, etc those high earners? Over 43K in Scotland over 50K in England attracts 40% tax. Still the NHS is is disaster

@JohnSwinney Teachers and nurses are the highest earners are they Olaf? Why do you hate working people in Scotland?
