Westminster's sovereign wealth fund admission is a painful lesson for Scots When UK Chancellor John Healey finally admitted on TV that a UK sovereign wealth fund established in the 1980s would today be worth roughly £1 trillion he was touching on a painful area for Scots. We know what we have lost. We watched UK governments we did not elect squander what should have been Scotland’s generational wealth. https://www.believeinscotland.org/westminsters_sovereign_wealth_fund_admission_is_a_painful_lesson_for_scots?utm_campaign=wealth_fund_newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_source=believeinscotland
