Nicola Sturgeon has said the 'broad shoulders' of the UK promised by Unionists are 'nowhere to be seen'
Sturgeon also pledged to work with the new prime minister, but hit out at the Tory candidates Liz Truss and Rishi Sunak for spending their campaigns focused on how to “put Scotland in its place”.
“At this most crucial of times, we are in the situation of announcing our plans for the year ahead in an unprecedented cloud of Westminster uncertainty. We don’t know if and when an emergency budget may happen, whether Scotland’s block grant is going to be cut this year, or what other measures they may introduce – all of which could fundamentally affect our plans.”DURING the Tory leadership campaign, frontrunner Truss sparked a furious backlash when she suggested she would “ignore” Sturgeon.
“The ‘broad shoulders’ that we were told existed in 2014 are nowhere to be seen, and the promise of remaining in the EU and of lower energy bills were evidently not worth the paper they were written on. Instead, a decade of austerity, Brexit and brutal welfare cuts have contributed hugely to the current cost crisis.
