A former Conservative MSP has slammed Liz Truss and Kwasi Kwarteng over their tax slashing mini-budget insisting "Britain need a Labour government".
Professor Adam Tomkins, who represented the Glasgow region from 2016 to 2021, accused the new Prime Minister and Chancellor of "trashing" the Tory brand and the UK economy.
Following Kwarteng's announcement on Friday that slashed tax cuts for the richest, the pound was sent spiralling, with it eventually falling to an all-time low against the dollar.
