Edinburgh Labour set to seize control of council with 'Tory votes, not Tory policies'

Members of Edinburgh's Labour group have insisted they are taking 'Tory votes' but not 'Tory policies' as they sought to justify a deal that looks set to see them seize control of the city council.

All 63 members will meet in the City Chambers on Thursday (May 26) to vote on proposals drafted by parties following this month's local election.
