JOHN Swinney has said there will not need to be changes made to Scotland’s upcoming Budget statement on the back of UK Government U-turns, because he never believed the mini-Budget would be sustained.
New chancellor Jeremy Hunt made an emergency announcement on Monday as Westminster made a desperate attempt to calm jittery markets.
He confirmed the public sector would be forced into major spending cuts as part of his plans to stabilise the economy, which the SNP’s Alison Thewliss has warned will “further entrench the poverty the Tories have caused”.
