  • In his column for the Daily Record, Scottish Labour leader Anas Sarwar criticises last week's SNP Government Budget.

The article from MSN discusses the Scottish National Party (SNP) government's budget, which has been criticized for lacking ambition and failing to capitalize on opportunities for transformative change in Scotland. Critics argue that the budget does not adequately address key issues such as economic growth, public service reform, and infrastructure development. Instead of bold initiatives, the budget focuses on maintaining current spending levels with minor adjustments, which some see as a missed chance to tackle pressing challenges like poverty, climate change, and economic disparity. The piece highlights the disappointment among various stakeholders who were hoping for more innovative fiscal strategies to drive Scotland forward, especially in light of the unique economic and political circumstances post-Brexit and during the ongoing recovery from the global health crisis.
