Scottish war hits Labour in row over mansion tax funds
LABOUR’s Scottish leader has been warned to back off amid plans to use an English homes tax to pay for Scotland’s nurses.
Jim Murphy has come under fire from Labour colleagues over his plan to fund 1,000 new nurses in Scotland using the proceeds of a planned mansion tax which will mainly hit households in London and south east England.
The Scottish Labour leader was accused of planning to “expropriate” money from Londoners to support his effort to win power north of the border by a senior MP within his own party.
