£100BN WASTE WAR OF WORDS

SNP accuses UK Government of blowing £100bn despite its CalMac ferries fiasco

- BY ANDREW QUINN

THE SNP and Labour are in a spending row after the Nationalists claimed the UK Government has wasted £100billion since the general election.

New SNP research says Labour has wasted the billions in lost revenues from tax evasion, Brexit, Private Finance Initiative (PFI) schemes, nuclear power stations and High Speed Rail 2 (HS2).

But Labour hit back that “these back of a fag packet numbers are nonsense”.
