MPs south of the border have been calling for the axing of the Barnett formula, the mechanism which defines the amount of money Scotland receives from the Treasury and which allocates £1,500 more per head of the population to public services in Scotland than in England.
Hosie's claim is based on SNP's static budget forecasts, which calculate what it says are the true revenue and expenditure estimates for Scotland.

The former Labour MSP John McAllion lost the Scottish parliament seat to Shona Robison, who happens to be Hosie's partner, in 2003 partly because of his opposition to the Iraq war.
Most commentators think there is no way the SNP can miss this goal although a confusing newspaper poll later in the week indicates that Labour might hang on in this wafer-thin marginal.

This is because the incumbent, Labour’s David Stewart, is dealing with a reduced core vote following the boundary change and a challenge from a party that is exploiting the unpopularity of Tony Blair, who, not surprisingly, fails to make an appearance in his colleague’s campaign literature.
A single, desperate ray of hope for Labour is that their small number of deserters may be split evenly between the LibDems, the SNP, the SSP and the Greens, thus depriving Charles Kennedy’s party of the 1.3% swing it needs to win.
History also gives the Nats a chance, as Donald Stewart held the seat for the SNP between 1970 and 1987, proving that nationalism has a home in the area.
