Rutherglen's MSP has claimed the Tory government have a "moral duty" to scrap the national insurance hike.
Clare Haughey believes the forthcoming increase will hit locals hard, with the cost of living crisis already punishing Rutherglen and Cambuslang residents.
The National Insurance increase, due to rise next month, comes as reports suggest the Russian war in Ukraine is adding to the intense pressures families face, as the price of oil and wholesale gas continues to soar.
