Just wait till teachers discover they’re higher rate tax payers

Shona Robison’s budget concealed the largest stealth tax in years

What do you think when you think about teachers?  Two things, if you are anything like me: low pay and time off work with stress. It’s a hard job, no doubt. Teaching unions jealously guard their grievances and if you say that teachers are actually quite well paid and that teaching is a rewarding career you’ll be hounded by legions of miserabilists on social media. So better not tell them that from next year teachers are to be classed as high earners thanks to the Scottish government’s latest stealth tax raid.
