THE 2018 Scottish Labour conference opens in Dundee against a backdrop of austerity, local government spending cuts and rising inequality.
In Scotland in 2017, the top 1 per cent of the population owned more wealth than the bottom 50 per cent put together. Over one million people in Scotland are living in poverty, often in households where at least one adult is in work. For many thousands of children, poverty will affect their life chances, health and opportunities.
