Ross warns Sturgeon's Indyref2 plan would mean 'economic chaos'
SCOTLAND’S economy would be sent “spiralling into chaos” if there was a second independence referendum, Douglas Ross as he launched his manifesto.
The Scottish Tory leader claimed that putting the constitution ahead of the recovery from the Covid pandemic would be the “height of reckless”.
The SNP said the Tory position of trying to block Indyref2 was “utterly undemocratic”.
Mr Ross launched his manifesto with a pledge to “rebuild Scotland” as it emerges from lockdown, including a £600m fund to help clear the NHS treatment backlog.
The Tories said the one-off boost should be managed by an independent task force of clinicians rather than government, prioritising cases by need, and would be on top of the extra £2bn they have already pledged for the NHS over the course of the next parliament.
