Interesting research from HMRC which does not back up the claim that higher income taxes in Scotland would lead to a stampede to England.
The idea that lots of people would relocate based purely on income tax rates was always nonsense. Good to see this backed up empirically HMRC

Very true - we have been advocating a green industrial strategy for several years. Scotland needs a radical transition. #STUC24
Scotland urgently needs a green industrial strategy. Without one, there’s little chance the Scottish government will be able to deliver on its promise of creating more than 100,000 green jobs, says @Daily_Record in this leading article. 👇 dailyrecord.co.uk/news/scottish-…

Employment in Scotland’s wind sector has been a disappointment to policy ambitions for 15 years. I wrote for @FutureEconScot explaining why. The answers lie in wind generation not being very labour intensive whist Scotland has failed to create a manufacturing supply chain.
Why hasn’t Scotland’s wind energy revolution delivered more manufacturing jobs? In this guest blog, @ewangibbs explores past missed opportunities and outlines how an active and consistent green industrial strategy could reverse these disappointments. futureeconomy.scot/posts/43-why-d…
