The Scottish Government has asked for an urgent meeting with the Chancellor to discuss "reversing the damaging effects of the UK Government's tax proposals".
Deputy First Minister John Swinney, along with Finance Ministers from Wales and Northern Ireland, have written to Kwasi Kwarteng claiming his recent financial package is "a huge gamble on public finances and the health of our economy" with his £45 billion package of tax cuts.
In no uncertain terms, the devolved governments called Kwarteng's controversial mini-budget the largest set of unfunded tax cuts for the rich in over 50 years”.
