I am sure once Holyrood gets control over setting Income Tax, and healthcare spending they will be able to fix they are in

Once they get to set their own tax rates (rather than tweaking the UK rate) I don't think there will be any higher rate taxpayers left in Scotland.

Income tax was devolved in 2016 apparently.

The devil is in the detail.

It wasn't fully devolved. There is only the power granted to change each band +- a couple of percent and limited power to change the point at which this tax begins for higher earners. This has already been adjusted for the 40% tax band and adjusted up 1% to 41%.

People begin to pay the 41% in Scotland at £43662.

Sturgeon worked out long ago that she gets to do 80% of the stuff she would do if Scotland was independent. But only has to deal with 20% of the crap a real leader would. Like a Sturgeon-Pareto Distribution.

Nodding along to Boris and the 'Expert Advice' makes her look like a real world leader. Having to come with her own plan is too much work and brings risk.

Anyways, she is stuffed. Salmond and his gang have worked out that she has parked the bus since she has been anointed St Nicola and being a pragmatist she is no longer interested in independence. He and Cherry will be stabbing her in the back as soon as this is over. it will be messy.
