Nats complain about UK cash for councils
February 09, 2026
|Scottish Daily Express

In recent years, Westminster governments have decided to bypass the Scottish Executive to hand over money to councils for certain projects.
However, this has led to growing anger within the SNP due to claims it is “not respecting” devolution.
