Stephen Flynn said "it's reckless in the extreme for Westminster to impose another decade of austerity cuts to public services".

Flynn will table a reasoned amendment to the National Insurance Bill rejecting Tory government plans for cuts to public sector investment. 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.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.

"I urge Sir Keir to perform another one of his U-turns - and join the SNP in voting against the Tory budget. People in Scotland are appalled that he has thrown his support behind it.
