Every single person in Scotland is feeling the impact of the cost-of-living crisis. People are worried about how to afford their rent or rising mortgage repayments. Education standards continue to slip, police numbers are close to being at their lowest since the SNP came to power in 2007, and rural communities across the country are up in arms about a range of policy disasters.

With one-in-seven Scots on an NHS waiting list, most of us are worried about the healthcare of ourselves or a family member. So how is the Scottish Government spending its time today? What are they debating in parliament? You guessed it, Scottish independence. Again. It would be laughable if it weren’t so damaging.
