CONSERVATIVE MP DAVID MUNDELL IN A MUDDLE OVER SCOTISH SPENDING CUTS.
RIGHT-WING ALLIANCE TARGET SCOTLAND'S SPENDING.
SNP Treasury spokesperson Stewart Hosie MP has seized on an admission by Conservative Scotland spokesperson, David Mundell MP, that the Conservatives support Labour plans to slash Scottish public spending. Mr Mundell’s admission comes as a massive embarrassment to Scottish Tory MSPs who are backing the Scottish Government’s budget. Commenting Mr Hosie said: “David Mundell has made a massive political blunder with this admission of the Conservatives’ cash cutting agenda for Scotland. “It is clear that the Conservatives agenda is little different from Labour's plans to cut £1 billion from Scotland's budget. “Behind David Cameron’s smiles and spin, just like Labour, the Tories are set on cutting Scotland’s budget. David Mundell should be fighting the £1bn planned cuts to the Scottish budget, not backing them. “Apart from being extremely irresponsible and counter-productive at a time of recession, David Mundell’s blundering intervention is also acutely embarrassing for Scottish Tory MSPs who are backing the Scottish Government’s budget. "There is now no argument against fiscal autonomy for Scotland - the alternative is seeing our public spending being slashed year on year, and our public services being undermined."
