SCOTTISH Labour accused Scotland’s government of “hypocrisy” today for cutting almost £133 million from energy efficiency schemes days before Cop27 opened in Egypt.

The party criticised the SNP-Green coalition for making the cuts amid a cost-of-living crisis and in the run-up to the major climate conference.

Scottish Labour branded the decision “shameful” as First Minister Nicola Sturgeon heads to the Red Sea resort of Sharm El-Sheikh for the global gathering.
