David Maddox: Budget - Harvie speaks at last
Patrick Harvie has said he cannot vote for £22 million a year for free insulation. He is furious that the SNP have kept him waiting for their final offer until the debate. He has demanded an extra 50 per cent, £11 million, as a bare minimum. He says nothing less than £33 million would allow them to make even a start on the scheme.
He says the Greens will vote against at the moment. That's 64/63 against Swinney. Even with Margo MacDonald's vote the budget will fall on the Presiding Officer's casting vote.
Amazing brinkmanship from Harvie.
