An End To The Money Transfer?
So Gordon Brown has ordered a review into the Barnett formula which gives Scotland £1,500 extra per person than England, paid for inevitably by English taxpayers. To be honest, I doubt we’ll hear anything back about it, in either a few months or a few years. Certainly so long as Labour remain in power, reliant on Scotland for their majority.
As much as this is a good thing to hear, under a Scottish Prime Minister elected in a Scottish constituency bugger all will be done, no matter what the conclusion made is. Especially considering that the Chancellor is Scottish as well.
Not to mention the SNP being right up Labour’s arse, too.
So, no matter what Brown says, bugger all will actually happen.
