The Shadow Chancellor said 'there'll be no return to austerity' under Labour - but refused to say how much more money Scotland would receive.
The Shadow Chancellor used a visit to Edinburgh to insist Westminster would "work in conjunction" with the Scottish Government following next month's general election .
Reeves was talking after a Q&A session with Scottish Labour leader Anas Sarwar at NatWest Group's Scottish campus in west Edinburgh. "So we would work with the government here and hope in the future that a Labour government in Westminster would be able to work with a Labour government here in Scotland."But also, if people in Scotland want change, and they want Scotland to be part of that change, the more Scottish Labour MPs that we have working with a Labour government in Westminster, the more we can deliver for Scotland.
"That includes the £1.5 billion that we would raise from putting VAT and business rates on private school fees, the money from extending the windfall tax that we would invest in GB Energy and the national wealth fund, the changes around how private equity bosses' bonuses are taxed and also cracking down on tax avoidance and ensuring non-doms pay their fair share of tax."And of course, all of those come with consequentials for the Scottish Government.
