Scottish Labour's leaders cannot keep blaming Westminster for the collapse at the ballot box, says VINCE MILLS
CAPITA issued a profit warning this week that set alarm bells ringing across both Whitehall and the country. It was the third major outsourcing company in the last month to issue profit warnings.
The news regarding Capita was yet another illustration of how the Tory obsession with privatisation and outsourcing is failing, coming only weeks after the collapse of Carillion.
As Labour’s Jon Trickett MP said this week, “we cannot afford another Carillion. The government must take serious steps to oversee the activities of Capita.”
Years of underfunding are eroding Scotland’s local services and deepening inequality in communities, says VINCE MILLS
Outsourcing is at the heart of inequality. Only collective unity in the trade union movement can topple the Establishment’s obsession with it, says SAM GURNEY
