Ministers are warning of 'tough choices' on tax and spending ahead of finance secretary Shona Robison’s (pictured) Scottish Budget.

We ask the BBC’s Lynsey Bews about rumours of a tax cut for higher earners and why Scottish Labour’s Anas Sarwar (also pictured) says he won’t be blocking the SNP’s plans.
