Has Sturgeon thrown a spanner in the works over Corporation Tax?

| Readers 1601

There is increasing speculation that the Chancellor, George Osbourne is to announce that Corporation Tax powers will be devolved to Northern Ireland. All of the main parties here support the move, so you would think it would be relatively simple to do it. However, the Scottish First Minister, Nicola Stugeon might have just thrown a spanner in the works for that plan as she told SKY News this morning


Not to put the question to bluntly but are we likely to get screwed over by the SNP over devolving Corporation Tax?
