Nicola Sturgeon has announced new Covid restrictions for Scotland, with funding causing a 'spat' with the UK Government.
The Scottish Government has said it has found £200m "with great difficulty" from its own budget to help compensate affected businesses, but quite where from has not been spelled out.
Yet the devil is in the detail and the detail of the fiscal framework is very complicated, and therefore highly suggestible to political spin from one party or the other. Further, the Barnett consequentials deriving from the £1bn for businesses announced by the Chancellor - which would be around £80m - are part of that second £220m, so no cherry on top there.The UK Government says it has £440m to spend how it sees fit.
