SIR – According to government figures, in the current financial year Scotland will be spending £129 per person for every £100 spent in England. The Barnett formula will result in about £38 billion going from English taxpayers to the Scottish government.
It is difficult to see how promises of billions of pounds of investment to provide a faster rail link from Glasgow to London (report, May 2) will sway Scottish voters. Such money might be better spent providing free social care at home and undergraduate tuition in England – benefits Scots already enjoy. ....

Letters: So is there any level of pain that would be too much for the SNP?

FULL marks to Iain Macwhirter for his excellent column on the new landscape which those who support Scottish independence must now face ( Voters will twig that Sturgeon is kidding about indyref2 , The Herald, April 28). In the light of these new circumstances, it is now incumbent on nationalists, foremost amongst them Nicola Sturgeon, to be interrogated on their plans to move forward.
A good start would be for her to be clear what levels of economic hardship or social hardship would or would not be acceptable to her.

Letters: Let us have indyref2 now so we can get on with our lives in the UK

PERHAPS those of us of a unionist persuasion are too negative about the result of another referendum on independence.
The much-vaunted SNP achieved 50 per cent of the Scottish vote in the General Election of 2015. Research on Google suggests that that was its zenith.
In 2014, more than 55 per cent voted for the Union; in 2016, 47% voted for separatist parties; in 2017 37% of Scots voted for the SNP, and in the 2019 General Election, 54% of Scottish votes were for Unionist parties.
Nicola Sturgeon has admitted that no up-to-date research has been carried out on the economic outcome of independence. Perhaps now is the time for Boris Johnson to give the SNP its wish, and thereafter let us get on with living our lives in a United Kingdom. ....
