The SNP leader referred to a report from the Resolution Foundation looking at income inequality in the UK compared with other countries.

He said that the average household would be £8,300 better off if the UK had the average income inequality of similar countries.

Using the same analysis for Scotland, Mr Yousaf said: “The prize for the typical Scottish household would be even greater, they would be £10,200 better off.

“That then, is the huge prize of independence.”

He pledged that an independent Scotland would see “large-scale public investment in key areas of competitive advantage”, as well as a Government department focused on industrial policy.

The First Minister said the UK’s living standards are “abnormally low” and the country is the “poor man of north-west Europe”.

The Conservatives described Mr Yousaf’s speech as “delusional”.

The party’s chairman, Craig Hoy, said: “The First Minister’s case for ripping Scotland out of the UK rests on myths, fantasy economics and the fanciful hope the public forget that last month’s disastrous tax-and-axe budget was the product of years of waste and dismal growth under the SNP.
