Part of First Minister’s Question Time – in the Scottish Parliament at on 5 September 2024.
Of my Aberdeen Central constituents, 9,078 are pensioners, and many of them are living in poverty. They are worried about the impact on them of Labour austerity. Does the First Minister share my view that Labour’s brutal cutting of winter fuel payments is not only an attack on older people but an attack on devolution, because the Chancellor of the Exchequer showed no interest whatever in consulting the Scottish Government ahead of her decision?
