I don’t believe he will be ‘throwing money at Scotland‘. Why would he? He has little or no political base left there. He will just (quite rightly) say ‘no’ to another indyref and leave The SNP to run Scotland for the next 5 years.

Johnson will simply adjust his policies to please the electorate and keep power - as I said he has no principles - he is just like Blair - history is repeating itself now with the boot on the other foot - its like going back to May 1997.
Simple rule in British politics - get overall power and head for the centre - it almost guarantees two terms.
His position on immigration, law and order and Brexit means he can't take the centre ground. Further he is going to again have to throw money at Scotland and Northern Ireland and there will be no money left for the north and midlands. He is also going to throw money at housing in the south because he knows he has to win back young middle class voters there. In my view I don't think many in the conservative party think northern workers are particularly productive for the economy. That's why they tend to invest in infrastructure and not jobs.
He spaffed 53m planning a garden bridge yet nothing for Sirius. I'm not trying to wind people up but if you are not rich and northern boris is definitely not your guy. Unless you are obsessed with Brexit and immigration.....
I hope he's nothing like Blair. I.m.o.that guy should be in court to answer war crimes

I am not so sure - I think the January budget is going to give everyone tax breaks and splash the cash on public expenditure - Johnson will want to firmly establish himself in the centre ground of British politics - he will be more Blair than Thatcher.
His main advantage is that borrowing is cheap - he will give people what they want - power is the drug to him not principles.
Nothing like trying your hardest to wind people up zim.
Good luck with your investment, not sure it will help with your personality though
Took a chunk of Sirius at 3.5p as I think the government might now offer a guarantee for some cheap pr. However to think Boris actually gives a toss about working people up north is lunacy. I've been lucky to go to a top public school, then a top university, then a successful career at a trading firm. Boris is going to give me a tax cut and my firm will pay for my relocation after Brexit if need be. The conservatives have had a decade to help Sirius and done nothing for it or the north in general. I vote conservative because it's in my best interests but I do feel sorry for some of these people Boris has hoodwinked it's like they have Stockholm syndrome.
