In spite of this, the individuals and families included in the 2024 edition still hold a combined wealth of £795.361 billion - a figure which is higher than the annual GDP of Poland." Former First Minister Nicola Sturgeon appeared alongside Lord Wallace, the former deputy first minister, at an event at Edinburgh University to mark 25 years of devolution. "She is not convinced same-sex marriage would be legalised in Scotland today. The former first minister said politics is now more toxic and polarised than in the past.
