EXCLUSIVE: Nationalist MP Chris Law has blasted the 37 Scottish Labour MPs for failing to sign a House of Commons motion which criticises making the benefit means-tested.
The SNP has accused Scottish Labour MPs of lacking "the stomach or the backbone to stand up for Scotland's pensioners" over the Winter Fuel Payment cuts.
"Anas Sarwars 'read my lips' speech saying there will be no austerity was nothing more than empty words. It calls for the cuts not to take place, saying it is "being introduced without prior consultation or an impact assessment, nor with sufficient time to put in place a proper and effective take-up campaign for Pension Credit."
