Nicola Sturgeon has branded Kwasi Kwarteng's tax cuts for the rich as "morally repugnant" and a "catastrophic disaster" in a stinging attack on the UK Government.
The First Minister also gave her strongest indication yet that the Scottish Government will not follow Westminster in slashing the top rate of income tax for the highest earners.
Chancellor Kwasi Kwarteng announced a swathe of measures to tackle inflation and drive growth on Friday, including scrapping the top rate of income tax, cutting the basic rate to 19p in the pound and scrapping the cap on banker’s bonuses.
