PRIME MINISTER Sir Keir Starmer must “listen to voters” and ditch plans for spending cuts or people “will never forgive the Labour Party,” SNP Westminster leader Stephen Flynn warned today.

Chancellor Rachel Reeves will present Labour’s first Budget in 15 years in less than a fortnight.

But despite plans to raise an additional £40 billion in tax, she is facing increasing resistance both within and outside the party to cuts in departmental funding, believed in some cases to be as high as 20 per cent.
