Statement from scotland in union on the death of Prince Philip
We are mourning the loss of Prince Philip today, who spent his whole life dedicated to public duty, including his time defending our country in the Royal Navy, supporting our young people through the Duke of Edinburgh scheme and giving decades of service by the side of our Monarch.
We have suspended campaigning.
Our thoughts and sympathies are with the Royal Family today, especially Her Majesty the Queen following the death of her beloved husband.
Scotland is better off
as part of the
United Kingdom.
It’s the one simple idea that unites people behind our campaign.
It’s a belief shared by the majority of Scots and millions of people from across the UK and beyond, regardless of age, gender and political identity.
We are a full-time campaign in Scottish public life which unites all of those who believe we are
Stronger in the UK.
Currently, the SNP Government is using Brexit to try to break up the UK.
Whatever your views on Brexit, independence is not the answer!
WHATEVER YOUR VIEWS ON BREXIT, INDEPENDENCE IS NOT THE ANSWER.
And this deficit is more than double the 3% maximum which would be required for a separate Scotland to join the EU. To achieve this, Scotland would need to dramatically reduce its deficit, which would require deeper spending cuts and steeper tax rises.
WHATEVER YOUR VIEWS ON BREXIT, INDEPENDENCE IS NOT THE ANSWER.
The SNP Government's own figures show our deficit of 7% is over six times higher than the entire UK, but our public services in Scotland are protected thanks to the pooling and sharing of resources across the UK.
This deficit is more than double the 3% maximum required for a separate Scotland to join the EU. To achieve this, Scotland would need to dramatically reduce its deficit, which would require deeper spending cuts and steeper tax rises.
Our small, skilled team, led by former MP Pamela Nash,
is working on the front line every day, organising
volunteers, building networks and making the
positive case for Scotland in the UK.
We are Scotland’s largest and most energetic pro-UK campaign,
leading the opposition to another unnecessary referendum on
Scottish independence.
Do you want Scotland to stay part of the UK?
We need your support to maintain and grow our campaign.
Pamela Nash
Chief Executive Officer
Our brilliant supporters campaign door to door and set up stalls promoting Scotland in the UK.
The tremendous dedication from people in Scotland committed to protecting our role in the UK and Scotland's interests never fails to amaze us.
