SCOTTISH LABOUR pressed Westminster yesterday to adopt a “progressive federal structure” to challenge the ever-growing wealth gap ahead of its conference later this month.

The party’s leader Kezia Dugdale called for the “new constitutional convention” as official party policy to repair fractures between Scotland and the rest of Britain following referendums on Scottish independence and the EU.

She said it “will lead to a renewed partnership between Scotland and the other nations of the UK based on a progressive federal structure for the UK.”
