EDINBURGH Labour have been dismissed as “a mess” by one of the SNP’s new councillors in the capital, after the first council meeting of the term adjourned after only eight minutes with no administration in place.
The first full meeting of Edinburgh’s 63 councillors following this month’s local elections would normally have confirmed a new council leader and depute leader, as well as electing a new Lord Provost and appointing councillors to various roles on boards and committees.
