What Nicola said about tax cuts:

"It would be a serious error for the Scottish government to replicate in every sense that strategic economic mistake that the chancellor made, but we will take decisions that are right for Scotland," she said.
"We live in a situation right now where growing numbers can't afford to heat their homes, can't afford to feed their children, are going without basic essentials, and I don't think many people would think this is the right time to give massive tax cuts to a tiny number of already rich people."
The first minister said "trickle down economics" had been "roundly discredited" and the UK government's current approach would not work.
Given the reaction from markets, Ms Sturgeon predicted a potential increase in interest rates and the cost of borrowing, and a continuing issue with inflation.
"The UK government seems to have no idea what it is doing - the damage it is doing to the economy overall, and to the living standards of the majority, is deep and very, very serious," she said.

Pretty much on the money I would say.

Nic for Prez.
 
Looks like the BoE are stepping in and will buy unlimited amounts of government debt which is the exact opposite of what the bank's Monetary Policy Committee were committing to do. I have no idea what the consequences of this are but it sounds like a bit of a last resort.
