New Labour team - same old policies

Ken Macintosh, Scottish Labour's new Finance Spokesman, is to be commended for resisting the opportunity to just blame the SNP and Westminster governments for Scotland's rising unemployment when questioned by John Beattie on Radio Scotland two days ago. Unfortunately, much of what he recommended to solve the current economic problems we face just sounded like the same old Labour policies of borrowing our way out of debt and the continuance of a large public sector with rising council tax to pay for it. Calton is afraid that Scottish Labour will have to do a bit better than that if they are to win back the hearts and votes of the Scottish people!
