The Chancellor must “immediately and significantly” increase funding for Scotland in the Budget, First Minister John Swinney has said.

Rachel Reeves will lay out the UK Government’s tax and spending plans on Wednesday, where she is expected to make “difficult decisions on spending, on welfare and taxation” and change the way national debt is measured to give her more flexibility to borrow.
