Original Note:
The UK debt is around £2.5 Trillion, the Scottish deficit(offered in the article) is £3.5 Billion, STV is misrepresenting the data - which is already erroneous if not egregious. https://www.ons.gov.uk/economy/governmentpublicsectorandtaxes/publicspending/bulletins/ukgovernmentdebtanddeficitforeurostatmaast/december2023 Debt to GDP UK - 100% actual. Scotland - 10%(theoretical).
