Humiliation as Diageo dismisses taskforce rescue plan

Drinks giant Diageo has issued a humiliating dismissal of the Scottish Government’s attempts to save 900 Scottish jobs.

The company said that rescue plans put forward by a government-led taskforce had failed to address "basic economics" and provided a poor business model that neither understood the marketplace in which it operated nor how the proposals would be funded.
