Reeves, the new Chancellor, is set to accuse the previous Tory government at Westminster of covering up the dire state of the UK's finances.
A Scottish Labour MP has denied Rachel Reeves will unleash a new era of austerity in order to plug a £20 billion blackhole in the UK Government's finances.
East Renfrewshire MP Blair McDougall today denied there would be severe public spending cutbacks amid SNP claims that Labour would slash spending on the NHS and transport. “People don’t think that things are going to be easy, they accept that change is going to take time but what they want to know is what is the direction of travel and how are we going to get there and the first step of that is about being honest.”
SNP MP Dave Doogan said: “People in Scotland voted for change at Westminster. They didn’t vote for cuts to hospitals, railways and roads. They didn’t vote to push more children into poverty – and they certainly didn’t vote for another decade of Westminster austerity cuts imposed by a Labour Government.
