Scottish Labour woos back SNP defectors
Dugdale unveils plan to ‘end austerity’ in Scotland

KEZIA DUGDALE has unveiled a plan to “end austerity” in Scotland in a bid to win back to Labour left-wing voters who have defected in droves to the SNP.

The Scottish Labour leader told the party’s conference on Saturday that it was standing on the “most radical Labour manifesto ever” in May’s Holyrood elections.

The manifesto is underpinned by a brave pledge not to offer populist tax giveaways if public spending is being cut.
