Nicola Sturgeon has announced her plans for the year to come in her programme of government including a freeze on rents and train fares.
The First Minister gave a lengthy speech focusing on what her government aims to achieve in the next 12 months, with a focus on the cost of living crisis.
Ms Sturgeon opened her speech by describing the current situation as the "most severe cost crisis of our lifetimes" and a "humanitarian emergency". She said it would 'almost certainly' push the UK economy into a recession and poses a threat to lives.
