Very magnanimous of them

From the Times:

THE Conservatives are to seduce Scottish voters by offering them their share of £4 billion in tax cuts while reassuring them that they would not scrap the controversial Barnett formula.

The pledge means that if the party wins power, it would be willing to risk fuelling English resentment by keeping the Treasury mechanism that results in Scots receiving £1,000 per head more in public spending than voters in England.
