  • High taxes and red tape under the SNP have inflicted a decade of 'mismanagement' on Scotland's economy, one of the country's most successful businessmen has said.

The article from MSN discusses the frustration of Scottish tycoon Sir Tom Hunter with the Scottish National Party (SNP) over the faltering Scottish economy and what he perceives as punitive tax policies. Sir Tom criticizes the SNP for not fostering a business-friendly environment, pointing out that Scotland's economic growth has been lackluster compared to other parts of the UK. He highlights the issue of high taxes deterring wealth creators and entrepreneurs, which he believes is stifling economic development. Additionally, he expresses concern over the SNP's focus on independence rather than addressing immediate economic issues like productivity, education, and infrastructure. His comments come at a time when Scotland faces challenges such as a potential recession, public sector cuts, and a need for economic revitalization.
