Dugdale: I’ll keep fighting austerity
Scottish Labour leader vows to expose SNP despite mauling
SCOTTISH Labour leader Kezia Dugdale has pledged to continue her fight against austerity and to expose the SNP despite being punished at last month’s Holyrood elections.
The party tabled a motion in the Scottish parliament on Thursday afternoon to introduce a 50p top rate of tax for those earning over £150,000.
The policy is aimed at wealth redistribution and alleviating spending cuts to public services when Holyrood is granted its new taxation powers in 2017.
