Fiona Bruce shatters Humza Yousaf’s independence dream<\/h3>\n

Humza Yousaf’s decision to hit Scotland’s middle class with a new tax hike will have a “catastrophic” effect and see businesses, banks, innovators, as well as doctors, dentists and academics flee to England, an MP warned.<\/p>\n

Former SNP MP Lisa Cameron, who switched to the Conservative Party after severe bullying against her by the SNP, has told Express.co.uk that Mr Yousaf’s shock proposal will cause a crisis for the NHS.<\/p>\n

Dr Cameron, herself a former mental health professional in the NHS as a psychologist, said that the raid on middle-class wages will leave Scotland short of key staff who will move to lower-taxed parts of the UK.<\/p>\n

Mr Yousaf’s SNP and his Scottish Green allies have been left short of money after lavishing millions on their independence projects.<\/p>\n

Now he wants to create a 44p rate for people earning between \u00a375,000 and \u00a3125,000.<\/p>\n

Dr Cameron warned that the proposals would have “a catastrophic” impact on Scotland.<\/p>\n

She told Express.co.uk: “These plans are likely to drive banking and innovative tech sectors from Scotland.<\/p>\n

“They will also lead to a shortage of doctors and dentists.”<\/p>\n

She warned that there could be a genuine NHS crisis in Scotland unless Mr Yousaf rethinks.<\/p>\n

Dr Cameron’s criticisms echoed those of Kate Forbes, the former SNP Finance Secretary who narrowly lost to Mr Yousaf in the party’s leadership election.<\/p>\n
