FIRST Minister Humza Yousaf is expected focus on childcare, poverty, and the economy in the first Programme for Government since taking power ...
Asked if the financial position could impact on his ability to make his mark, the First Minister said: “There’ll definitely be some initiatives that I hope will demonstrate the direction I want to take the Government, but there’s no getting away from the scale of the public finances and the challenge that we face in relation to those public finances.
“We know because of the disaster of the mini budget last year from the UK Government that public finances are not just going to be constrained for the year ahead, but I’m afraid for probably many years to come.” Foyer said: “Now is not the time for half-measures or rollbacks. The First Minister must stand firm and be unashamedly progressive in his first Programme for Government to ensure public sector workers get fair pay and our public services are supported.
The first time they were asked, some 95% of SNP members backed a deal with the Greens and Yousaf made clear he would continue it if elected in the leadership contest earlier in 2023.
