Edinburgh's ex-council leader has said SNP councillors will seek to reverse a "whole host" of spending and saving decisions if the administration tables plans to overturn parts of the budget agreed last month.
Adam McVey said the council had been left in a "difficult position" after the ruling Labour group failed to pass a budget and then supported Lib Dem proposals which crossed red policy lines on compulsory redundancies and outsourcing of services.
Council leader Cammy Day, who has been urged to resign over the fiasco by councillors and members of his own party, has since said he was looking at "all options" to ensure controversial elements of the budget are not enacted.
