The Scottish government, led by Finance Secretary Shona Robison, unveiled its budget plans for 2025/26, highlighting significant policy changes including the scrapping of the two-child benefit cap by 2026, increased investments in the NHS and affordable housing, and adjustments to tax thresholds. With a budget exceeding £63 billion, priorities include social security, economic growth, and addressing child poverty. As the SNP lacks a parliamentary majority, collaborative efforts with other parties like the Greens and Liberal Democrats will be essential for passing the budget.
