ALEX Salmond has said Scotland should borrow “as much as we possibly can” while dismissing the SNP’s economic plans as mere “motherhood and apple pie”.
The head of the pro-independence Alba Party said the country could take on debt “at no cost” because of record low-interest rates then “roll over that debt” when required.
He said “the old tax and spend economics are part of the past”, and Scotland could instead “embrace a different sort of economics” to finance public spending.
He said: “Raising cash is not going to be the problem. Spending it is going to be the key priority.”
