SCOTTISH Labour figures slammed both Tories and the SNP as they called out the British government’s disastrous universal credit policy and the Scottish government’s failure to mitigate its effects.

Opening a discussion about the policy at Labour’s Scottish conference in Dundee, Midlothian MP Danielle Rowley painted a bleak picture of its impacts.

She referenced the film I, Daniel Blake and described instances of constituents left relying on foodbanks following delays and administrative errors.
