Scottish Liberal Democrat leader Willie Rennie has today warned that Scottish independence would be bad for business as he visited the Fudge Kitchen in Edinburgh.

Mr Rennie said:

"Independence would be like Brexit on steroids. It would mean a huge blow to the economy and less money for public services.

The SNP's own growth commission forecasts a decade of austerity and spending restraint.

"What Scotland needs is to put the constitutional chaos behind us and focus on building a brighter future by investing in mental health, education and tackling the climate emergency.”
