Well, doesn’t look great for minimum pricing does it? Will Holyrood give it one last go and raise it higher? Sunset clauses exist for a reason, now is the time to change tack

    Aye, it is just the white lightning and multipack supermarket lager that was actually affected anyway. So really just a poor tax. Alcoholism I put down to social issues, not pricing. And we’ve tried it, and it hasn’t changed much. To actually solve alcohol deaths requires solving deep rooted multiple deprivation issues. I’d raise the minimum wage to start, make work actually worth it’s while, encourage more automation, increase the tax take. This will actually help reduce people who fall into sitting in the park with a few tinnies at midday
