Those £50k people in Scotland are getting hammered compared with RUK in terms of marginal tax rates.
The SG income tax regime has provided a net benefit to the SG budget of £170m at a cost of £900m to the taxpayers.

Despite the increases, the independent analysis found that only £170 million of net benefit made its way into the Scottish government’s budget because the fiscal framework — an agreement between the UK and Scottish governments put in place after extra tax powers were devolved — means the block grant sent to Scotland every year is adjusted based on tax receipts.
I mean this is fucking laughable as the basis for an article isn't it?

I'll try and find the underlying report but I'm sure I saw that of those earning £50k or over something like 70% voted conservative.
