David Maddox: Budget - Margo MacDonald speaks, SNP in trouble

Independent MSP Margo MacDonald has implied she may vote against the budget or at least abstain because John Swinney has not offered enough for affordable housing in Edinburgh at a time when the capital "is facing a social tragedy" in housing.
Support is melting away for the SNP's budget.

Labour MSP Jackie Baillie says that the budget can be passed on February 14 and be well in time for Scotland's accounting timetable.
