The Tories announced "a huge giveaway for the wealthiest" while taking away £67-a-month from Scots households and promising a "callous" clamp down on benefits claimants in the Budget.
Chancellor Jeremy Hunt announced a generous tax cut on pension allowances on Wednesday afternoon. Labour leader Keir Starmer described the move as a “permanent tax cut” for the wealthy.
In the same speech, Hunt said that "sanctions will be applied more rigorously" on Universal Credit claimants. He also did not extend the Energy Bill Support Scheme, which has provided households with cash for energy bills over the last six months.
