What just happened with the Scottish Budget?

The Scottish government's Budget looks set to pass after Labour leader Anas Sarwar said his party would abstain from the Holyrood vote.

The minority SNP administration will require the help of at least one other party to see its proposals become law when MSPs have their say on the bill next month.

First Minister John Swinney has warned opposition parties of dire financial and political consequences if his tax and spending plans are blocked.

Sarwar said Labour MSPs would abstain from the vote, which would ensure the government had the votes it needs.

BBC Scotland political correspondent Phil Sim sums up the state of play.
