Nicola Sturgeon has insisted that spending another £20 million on preparations for another independence referendum was a "really good investment" despite the cost of living crisis.
The Scottish Government yesterday published a spending review which showed that public services - with the exception of the NHS and social security - could see their funding slashed over the next four years.
But opposition parties hit out after it also revealed that millions more will be spent on an IndyRef2 - which the First Minister has insisted will take place before the end of next year.
