Pass Budget to thwart Musk, Swinney urges MSPs

Yes, I have to say that threatening people with a bogeyman so they do what you want is an excellent way to ru a democracy.

Looks like it will pass because Labour in Scotland will abstain because it looks like it will pass anyway but they would vote for it if the SNP included a policy that Labour in the UK opposes in Westminster. Not so much policy as a a bunch of wankery.
