The SNP will push for a vote against "austerity cuts" in the Tory budget today. Stephen Flynn said "it's reckless in the extreme for Westminster to impose another decade of austerity cuts to public services".
The SNP Westminster leader also challenged Labour leader Keir Starmer to join the nationalists in voting against the Tory budget.
Flynn will table a reasoned amendment to the National Insurance Bill rejecting Tory government plans for cuts to public sector investment.The Institute for Fiscal Studies thinktank has warned this would mean a real-terms cut to net public sector investment of more than 25 per cent - £18 billion - between 2024–25 and 2028–29.The Tories have so far refused to say which services will be cut, while Labour has been unclear if it would implement cuts if it wins the general election.The pair have been accused of a "conspiracy of silence" over the matter.Flynn said: "The SNP will vote against the Tory budget to protect our NHS and public services.
Having already slashed Scotland's budget - it's reckless in the extreme for Westminster to impose another decade of painful austerity cuts."Rishi Sunak and Sir Keir Starmer must stop deceiving voters and own up over where the axe will fall under their shameful plans for £18billion cuts to public services."I urge Sir Keir to perform another one of his U-turns - and join the SNP in voting against the Tory budget.
