I am taking part in an event on 25 February where a number of speakers, and those attending in open discussion, will be challenging the work of the Scottish Growth Commission. We will be seeking to put forward positive alternatives to its deeply neoliberal view of Scotland after independence. I recorded this video on why I am taking part:
More details on the event and registration details are available here.

Nice one Richard – a very professional production. Looking forward to the event.
BTW the SCG letter rebutting the LSE report was published in The National today:

It is a shortened version of the original text you posted last week.
No sign of it in the Herald, Scotsman or Guardian.
Thanks
That’s an excellent video, Richard. Thanks.
I’m looking forward to hearing the discussion too (not sure how much I’ll be able to watch yet though).
Could you get Nancy Pelosi to tear up the GC Report at the start of the event?

As our negotiator in BRexShit correctly inferred that acting in a way as if this is already a given means that you can move away from whether it can even be considered, to how the interlocutors are going to deal with it from Day 1.
On a similar theme is there a Constitution under construction. And how the future Heads of State are going to be chosen, their term limit and their exact power? Accepting that there will be no retention or return to ‘Royalty’?
There are plenty of lessons to be learned from the woeful Westminster/Whitehall failure to arrive at the point of ‘independence’ without a clear statement of what exactly that means for the Big Questions as above.
