Commenting SNP MSP Colin Beattie said:


“The UK Governments cost-of-living crisis is continuing to impact families all over the country, and the latest Asda Income Tracker data is gravely concerning.
 
“Labour have failed to get to grip with the previous Tory governments economic mismanagement which is having a devastating impact on families.
 
“Westminster must prioritise economic growth, jobs and prosperity to deliver for the people of Scotland.
