SNP accused of diminishing Scotland’s economic potential

SCOTTISH LABOUR has accused the SNP of diminishing Scotland’s potential, as a string of reports confirm the economy is being allowed to fall behind.
Data published earlier this month by the Scottish Fiscal Commission revealed that Scotland’s recovery from the pandemic has been the weakest of any nation and most regions in the UK.
The commission claimed this is stifling job creation and wage growth, with devastating effects for both household and public finances.
