What do you mean ' it's only England gets less'
We are at the bottom of the heap I agree but Wales gets less too.
I stand by my post of 18th Nov. 11.25. The Barnet Formula was a pernicious, political ploy used to get devolution. It has no legal status it was concocted by a Labour Treasury Minister and no government has had the bottle to challenge it.
I will add to that post.
Northern Ireland. £10.876. Per Head.
Scotland £10.152 Per Head
Wales. £9.709 Per Head
England. £8.529 Per Head.
It's not a level playing field and that's why it is contentious, especially when those who get extra mention how much more their people get such as free prescriptions and claim it's happened through good governance that isn't necessarily the case.
Scottish political mess. Is Devolution working?
