The Scottish National Party's (SNP) budget for the upcoming year is set to pass after Scottish Labour announced they would abstain from voting on the tax and spending plan. This decision comes despite Labour's criticism of the budget, which they argue does not adequately address the cost-of-living crisis or invest sufficiently in public services. The budget includes a new tax band for higher earners, aiming to raise additional revenue, but Labour has expressed concerns over its impact on economic growth and its failure to provide substantial support for those struggling financially. The abstention by Labour, alongside the support from the SNP and the Scottish Greens, ensures the budget's passage, avoiding a potential defeat for the SNP government.
