Labour has been told to get on the “front foot” on proposing more powers for Holyrood amid fears the party is going soft on the next stage of devolution. STUC general secretary Roz Foyer said Labour should provide “more detail” of their offer to Scots and urged the party to be clearer.
UK Labour leader Keir Starmer told the Record last year new powers for Holyrood would be an early priority for his Labour Government. However, despite the publication of the Gordon Brown report on federalism, no list of powers has been proposed yet.
Senior party figures said they believe the issue has been put on the back burner and is deemed a priority Foyer said: “In terms of how far they've got with their offer on devolution, I certainly think that we could do with more detail and a strengthening of the agenda.
