Answer his many, some would say valid, points with remarks more erudite than “shiny ****” and “melt”, whatever these mean.

There’s also a potentially valid argument to say that Scotland takes a lot more out that it puts in.

Plenty stats showing Scotland is a net contributor to tge UK. Like most stats they can be tweaked to suit agendas.

There’s lots of financial experts.

All you need from a politician is that they ask the question.

Of course, but they can be manipulated in either direction, and generally are as we all know.

Depends of who that politician is asking the question on behalf of.

Too many vested interests and not enough on behalf on their constituents.

The question being " how do we pay for it?"

Sturgeon could have done with asking that question a fair few times.

They only answer it with a lie.

The biggest issue in politics is that people don't want to hear the truth.

There's only one way of paying, that's taxation.

Let the politics begin.

Actually, people want to be lied to, the bigger the lie the better.
Why else would Boris have been popular?
