SCOTTISH LABOUR accused the SNP and Tories of “blaming each other for their collective failures” today.  

The party blasted the Scottish government for “failing to value public-sector workers” and said Westminster had “presided over a massive transfer of wealth to top earners.”

The intervention came after SNP Deputy First Minister John Swinney warned that further cuts to public services are inevitable without extra funding for public-sector pay deals.
