John Swinney refuses to rule out Scottish budget tax rises in clash with Tory leader Russell Findlay

John Swinney refused to rule our tax rises in the Scottish Budget during an exchange with Tory leader Russell Findlay at FMQs.

The First Minister, who last week vowed not to raise income tax, told fellow MSPs that the Scottish Government's actions would be dictated by whatever Chancellor Rachel Reeves, does during her upcoming UK government budget.

When the First Minister refused to do so – saying only that those decisions will be set out in the Scottish Budget on January 13 – Mr Findlay accused his SNP rival of “plotting yet another income tax raid on hard-working Scots”.

Watch what Mr Swinney had to say during this afternoon's First Minister's questions in the above player.
