A SPOKESMAN for John Swinney has accused Tory and Labour MSPs of “making mischief” after they demanded the First Minister correct the record over his claims about pensions.

The First Minister has been under pressure to correct the record after he said the decision to scrap the triple lock would mean people “lose their pensions” in an exchange with Scottish Tory leader Russell Findlay last week.
