Bad GERS figures are a perfect argument in favour of independence. The GERS report states clearly that it’s figures are not representative of an independent Scotland. So when they are bad under the status quo then it is a great argument for stating the status quo.
GERS as it stands has been rigged since Whitehall got a fright in 2014, so I don’t accept or believe the figures anyway.
And anyway:
“ This public spending deficit was £2bn higher than the previous year, and represented 8.6% of the country's GDP.”
Isn’t the independent UK running a 16% deficit?
Are we working with the Canadian dollar or the pound sterling these days? I can never keep up 😂

Ah, do you always unconditionally accept Scottish Government figures, or do you only do so when convenient?
The figures are created using Whitehall methodology. I reject them.
Unbelievable folk still fall for the unionist GERS figures designed to keep Scotland in the union and for the MSM to splash that figures all over their front pages .
As Pete says they don't represent how an independent Scotland would be .
Who's 2 trillion in dept? Aye Westminster.
