The SNP has said the UK government is "cutting public services to
the bone" - after the Chancellor ushered in another decade of
austerity cuts at the UK budget.
Commenting, SNP Economy spokesperson said:
"The Tories trashed the economy, and now they're taking the axe
to public services - showing why it's essential to vote SNP at
the general election to make Scotland Tory-free and have the
choice of a better future with independence.
"Scotland's budget has already been slashed by the UK government
- and now they are cutting public services to the bone.
"Worse still, there is no alternative on offer from Sir 's Labour Party, who support
Brexit and want to impose the same damaging Tory fiscal plans,
which will slash services and starve the economy of the
investment needed to secure growth.
"The UK economy is broken - and the damaging cuts in today's
budget will make it even worse by failing to properly invest in
the green energy gold rush, choking off economic growth, and
putting up to 100,000 jobs at risk in Scotland's energy
sector.
"With the UK cost of living soaring, it's a scandal that
Tory tax breaks will benefit the richest most - with
any benefit for working families completely wiped out by the cost
of rising rents, mortgages, bills and food prices.
"Unlike Sunak and Starmer, the SNP will always stand up for
Scotland's values and demand the best deal for families in
Scotland. By voting SNP at the general election we can get rid of
damaging Westminster governments for good with independence."
