The National – Brexit doing untold damage to Scotland’s economy

The National says Brexit is causing significant harm to Scotland’s economy, costing billions in public funds and imposing heavy costs on businesses, according to the SNP and a National Audit Office report. Over £4.7 billion is forecasted for post-Brexit border arrangements, with customs declarations potentially costing UK businesses £7.5 billion annually. New controls on sanitary and phytosanitary goods could add £469 million in costs. The SNP argues that Brexit’s economic damage underscores the need for Scotland to seek independence and rejoin the EU for economic prosperity.

Elsewhere, an SNP minister has put out a fiery response to the news Alex Cole-Hamilton has been receiving therapy for online abuse.
