- AT FMQs today Douglas Ross blasted the Scottish government's recent budget, asking 'Does Humza Yousaf think it's fair that a majority of Scots will pay more tax than people South of the border who earn the same wage'
Mr Ross called the First Minister 'High tax Humza' and said: ' He (Humza Yousaf) is making hard working Scots pick up the bill for his mistakes.'

You can ask the first minister any question you like, but it doesn't mean to say he will give you a straight answer 😂😂😂😂
Thank you Tony Blair for creating this utterly wasteful and pointless addition to national bureaucracy. It’s a disgrace and should be abolished.
Blair a Labour man what a load of rubbish!

The arrogance of Useless is astounding, somebody has to have a word with him and tell him how much everyone hates him. The only positive is that the way he’s carrying on is that the SNP will surely not survive another term in power!!!
Never stand in the way of a man making his own noose…
That must rate as one of Humzys most embarrassing performances. It seems the job and all his parties failings are getting to him. That anger just wells up everytime he cannot hack being told the truth. Comical
Ah Humza Yousef, that fine old Gaelic name.
Wow this guy is delusional. Praising all the benefits of Scotland while ignoring the fact that it has cost them a 1.5 billion black hole in their finances.
A black hole they hope to fill in by raising taxes.
So no, it is not all free. The Scottish tax payer has paid for it.
He’s more interested in Palestine and Pakistan his Muslim brothers and sisters funding these abroad disgrace
The taxpayer is paying for it just not the poor ones 😂
HOW with over £7 Billion EXTRA DONATED to Scotland by the rest of the UK can there be ANY shortage? UNLESS SNP FRAUD!!!!!!
@clownofthetimes6727
Let’s forget that Westminster destroyed the UK economy. Taking billions out of the Scottish government. Cut the Scottish budget resulting in major cuts in Scotlands services .
But typical bad SNP 🤷♂️
@trevorhart545
England is in deficit.
The UK is in recession with this Westminster Tory government.
The national debt when the Westminster Tories came to power in 2010 was about £1 trillion, in 2024 its £2.6 trillion.
The Westminster Tories borrowed another £135 billion in 2023 to spend on their pet projects.
The interest on this debt was £97 billion in 2023.
The disastrous Tory Liz Truss budget is to reportedly have cost the country £34 billion and instigated 15 increases in mortgage rates.
The Scottish government has to balance its budget every year.
The Scottish government wasn't allowed to borrow money until recently but even now they are very restricted by Westminster.
The Scottish government recently had a budget and there isn't a black hole in their budget.
But like English councils 8 of which have gone bankrupt since 2018, 6 of this number have gone bankrupt since 2021 such as Nottingham city, Birmingham council and Woking etc.
The institute for Government said in a report that since 2010 the Westminster Tories cut the money going to English councils by 40% and English councils have had to put up council tax by 30% to compensate for the Westminster cuts and also cut public services.
The English councils said that because of inflation higher costs and higher wages not being met by the Westminster Tories English councils will be putting council tax up and cutting services.
In February Birmingham council announced that they are putting up the council tax by 21% over the next two years and cutting public services by £300 million over the next two years.
The Welsh Labour First Minister said that the Westminster Tories cut their budget in 2023 by £1.3 billion.
He also said because of inflation, higher costs and higher wages not being met by Westminster the Welsh budget was cut in real terms in 2024.
The Scottish government said that because of inflation, higher costs and higher wages not being met by Westminster it's budget over the past two years was cut by £520 million and in 2024 it's capital budget was cut by 10% ( £1.6 billion) over the next few years by the Westminster Tories.
Humza shouts, bawls and stamps his feet. Does he have any idea of how unpopular he is? I don't know anybody in Scotland who has a good word to say about him. These ridiculous, unfair tax rises are only going to make him even more unpopular.
100% agree, they are all useless. He’s Mr Angry and a complete bully. The man’s a clown end off
You can see the type of man he is for tone and behaviour to a simple question. Where's ,my slippers, rage!
He thinks he is the bees knees. Ignorance personified. Shouts.
What a load of rubbish he talks
Nobody can stand him or his cohorts, haven't got a clue about anything
snp is not fit for purpose. humza useless should be kicked out as first minister
He always has been useless and I can't understand how normal Scottish folk ever voted for him ! He hates all white people just to start with !
We wish
He will be and by his own party.
Where did the SCOTTISH NUMPTY PARTY find this Humza character , he’s so embarrassing 🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️
You total Muppet from mars
Installed diversity😂
He must have had something over Krankie. It was she who put him there.
Useless failed in his last posts ❤
We seem to be fixated on Public Sector salaries and seem to forget public sector workers enjoy an overall package that is substantially more than private sector workers. I believe, according to ONS data, that a public sector worker pension pot is around 5 times more than their private sector equivalent. With 1 in 5 people now employed in the Scottish Public sector, this all has to be paid for. I’m witnessing people retiring from the public sector whose annual salary is 1/4 of my own earnings and their pension pot is 3-4 times more than mine (at the same age and the same number of working years)…how is that fair 🤷🏻♂️
You can see Useless's nose growing by the minute. He should be done for misleading the Scottish Parliament.
None of these policies are "free". The few who can pay for the many who can't. This isn't charity from the SNP.
"free" prescriptions alone cost the Scottish taxpayer £1.4bn annually. "free" education costs us £8000 per student per year. "Free" bus transport for under 24s another £106m. Its only free at the point of consumption, and in the mind of SNP politicians
Plus the free migrants that are coming in their thousands to Scotland hamza useless brothers and sisters we the taxpayer pay for
Scotland supports the SNP we will never stoop to voting for any other party
@@Patricia-sw3ek That's just stupidity. Then again I'd expect nothing less from a nat.
And when you say "Scotland supports the SNP" No we don't! Speak for yourself who tf voted for you to speak for Scotland?
@@Patricia-sw3ekyou are a minority ya freeloading eejit 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
Another SNP failure - so many to list. Rid yourself of Humza Yousaf he can't add up.

@@DvL2791 Yes but he does have Robison the Cold fish who is equally inept and a "pain to to listen to " according to her own cabinet members. As she stutters along with "Eh " punctuating every sentence in her script.

SNP have ruined Scotland
Have you been to England or seen there news Scotland is fine go outside and look for yourself
You need to go to the optician if you think everything is fine even the dumbest of dumbest nats can at least acknowledge there are problems even if they ignorantly blame them on Westminster.

Yes they might be getting all these freebies in Scotland Yousev, but clearly the SNP can't afford it, otherwise there would be no multi-billion pound black-hole in the fiscal budget
needing funding cuts and HUGE TAX RISES to pay for it all. So this free stuff, isn't so free after all. and clearly was a SNP gimmick that they can no longer afford.

If SNP is advising Trudeau that explains a lot…

Bulging eyes and his head explodes.😂
The fact that so many Scots pay little to no income tax is a damning indictment of the country's economic policy and the quality of the jobs available in Scotland.
Actually it IS the FACT that EVERY SCOT receives £2,000 after Tax FREE from Wales, Northern Ireland and England. That is a Baby to an OAP. Since SNP in power = > £100 Billion GBP that the SNP government has "missing". FACT Scots pay a higher Income Tax SO even more MONEY IS MISSING. Ask Yousef, Sturgeon and Salmond where has all the money GONE. Then there is the farmers that have their £60 Million STOLEN by the SNP who the SNP say "we cannot find that, BUT it is Ring Fenced".
SNP "missing" = STOLEN?
An "average family" has £8,000 EXTRA a year that the SNP does NOT give them, ask YOUR SNP Politician "WHERE IS MY £8,000"? I want it in CASH NOW, and the last 14 years by Christmas!
Strange. HMRC publish the total taxes of all types it collects disaggregated to each region and country. For Scotland, that latest figure is around £70 billion p.a. The UK government also publishes the country grants under the Barnett Formula. The latest figure was a bit less than £50 billion. And Northern Ireland, that so-called great bottomless bucket of expenditure of "Westminster" money, passes £12 billion p.a and receives back similar. Those being disingenuous report per capita public expenditure way above that of England. This is true but only because there are more publicly owned enterprises in both Scotland and Northern Ireland such as transport, water etc where expenditure is categorised as public spending with nothing distributed as dividends from both profit and, as in England, from tens of £billions of borrowings. As a Northern Irelander I can say that we still have council rates inclusive of water rates which is more than 20% less than England's Councill Tax for comparable properties, AND water and sewage rates in England are then additionally paid over to profit motivated private companies. Employees in Scotland are also doing comparably better than most of England with only the South, Southeast and London equal or higher. Again, HMRC publish these data annually.
@@onandon-nq1zw so in essence what you are saying is that Scotland's economic performance is about as crap as England's. This is the same propaganda the SNP use to justify their position: "Look, look everybody our public services are better than England's ".
Two problems:
#1 - Saying you are less crap than someone else is not evidence of competence.
#2 - We can't afford these public services because there isn't enough tax revenues from high paying jobs and industries. Tax take should be increased by growing the economy, not squeezing an underperforming one.
@@mattstevenson5849 Total misinterpretation. Data sources quoted are HMRC and His Majesty's Government.
Ross the most hated man in Scotland
Scotland is a mess
Well said Douglas Ross
Starmer just said the SNP record in government is appalling!
Ali baba and the forty thieves need to be ejected from holyrood
Now before its too late
Yousaf's anger is apparent as he flicks through papers for a reponse. Responses which often deflect from the queston being posed. He seems to have been a failure in every position he has held so is that why he has become the leader of the SNP?
But to be fair most politicians will have skeletons in the cupboard that to most hard working people would be an embarassment.
Any government forced to raise income tax to balance the books can only be regarded as grossly incompetent. Scotland's higher earners are going to leave.
What has England got to do with Scotland, is England running Scotland, I thought Scotland was a devolved nation 😂😂😂
Valid comment. England - favourite SNP deflection for their own mess.
Scotland is not a DEVOLVED nation, it is part of the United Kingdom, it is the echo chamber at the bottom of the Royal Mile that is a DEVOLVED ASSEMBLY.!!!, but please you just keep doing the nationalist Waffle Deflection Dance i
To be fair, England (government/treasury) decides how much pocket money Scotland gets to run the country. And this pocket money is less than the amount of taxes & duties raised in Scotland that is sent directly to the treasury each year. If your next door neighbour took your salary, gave you an ever decreasing amount of it back to run your own house and spent the remainder on their own house, you may well struggle to make ends meet, and be a bit miffed about too.
The Barnett Formula provides a generous amount of money for Scotland - the problem is, the SNP use these allocated funds for their own home-grown ideologies and
therefore the receipts are not spent in the areas of intention. This is why we have a huge budget deficit requiring massive cuts to services, capital expenditure and now
increases in the tax we all pay in Scotland... We then have billions wasted on failures by the Scottish Greens, Embassies abroad, ferries not built on time or budget and
then blatant defraud and theft, endemic within SNP and their affiliations. Now if you're neighbour knew all that, they might wish more than answers, or Police investigations,
they might want Westminster to start a full scale public enquiry into Scottish financing, and the grubby paws of those who have bankrupt Scotland.@@johnhilton4054

So - let me get that straight - Scotland pay the lowest tax in the UK (of which the snp are clearly proud) and at the same time the SNP are receiving the highest ever settlement and they are squeezing middle income earners with more tax? It’s all a bit confused policy. Surely if you want the label of ‘lowest tax’ then you have to keep the tax low. Equally if independence is still a primary goal of the SNP then surely they understand they need to wean off Westminster settlements? Also why is Yousef so shouty - he appears to be struggling with feedback!
He doesn't like being shouted down or the truth.
Humza doesn't seem to know how capitalism works, nor does he see the stupidity in saying people come to Scotland for free stuff.
Tax their way out of incompetence !!!! A little more in tax 😂😂😂😂
Get rid of Useless ! Shouting and pumping his fist to defend his uselessness This is not integrity this is not refined leadership of a statesman .
It's not free to anyone escept them who don't work for their money, they are the only ones who will love this budget as it won't affect them,

Just wait Bumza when Grangemouth Refinery Closes and the Plastic Factory closes then add all the supporting Refinery Private businesses who will shed jobs, 1000's will be unemployed in the Central Region, then add Hospitality job shedding, you raising taxes will not help you one bit with 1000's of high earner Refinery and Oil Workers on the dole not paying any tax or council tax or business rates. Then add your SMP Council ULEZ Schemes closing businesses in Glasgow, so less business rates for councils.

And get rid of the curtain sider
How else can the SNP dish out dodgy contracts as they did with the dodgy Calmac contract if they don’t steal money out of my purse? Jeez.
Snp have started wasting money
The conservative MP is useless All the free stuff is paid for from English tax? Why is no one allowed to say that the SNP roots were founded on fascism in the 1930's, and then turned to Stalinism? And they became this national socialist group. Why do the Scottish think this is good for them in any way? Why do you rely on on my tax paid in England to pay for your roads, NHS and industry? Scotland does not fund it's self, it it is bailed out? I love Scotland, staff go there because things are free, paid by Eglish taxpayers? Bailed out by England ... for years and years? They demand more and more money from England to constantly bail them out and buy motor homes.
This scottish government is embarrassing. What we do well is give freebies, increase vost to run country (how many high earners are government financed). We need a strong economy as we are on a downward spiral. A strong economy is private industry and the First Minister doesn't seem to realise that. Our Scottish graduates are going south and abroad for income and opportunities. Allbthe Scottish government is offering is an uncertain taxation system and business won't stay in Scotland undercthose conditions.
£500 million, that’ll not even cover what the snp have wasted on these ferry’s.

So am I right in thinking that most people in Scotland earns less tha £28,800 per annum?
The reason that I'm asking is that Humza claims that the majority of Scots pay less tax than rest of the UK. Also Westminster has put record funding in to the NHS. Unlike the SNP have consitently diverted funds from their NHS to their independence plans. Which started when Nicola Sturgeon was the Health Secretary.
