Curran wants to put the economic and social needs of people first Scottish Labour has had Scotland for the past 30 years and only now they want to address the needs of the people of Scotland. The mere mention of that sickening sound bite pooling and sharing tells you one thing and one thing only , Scottish Labour will not work in the best interest of Scotland , they are on a Westminster leash. Check this out , from last year Margaret Curran, the Shadow Scottish Secretary, said there are a “lot of question marks” about whether devolution has led to the improvements that its supporters claim. She also indicated her support for abolishing the Barnett formula, which gives Scots almost £1,200 per head more public spending than the UK average, and replacing it with a system based on need. Mrs Curran’s comments, made in a fringe event at the Labour conference in Brighton, come after the party promised to publish a package of extra powers for Holyrood that would be devolved if Scots reject independence next year. An interim report that proposed transferring total control over income tax received a frosty reception from the Scottish MPs earlier this year. A report by one of the architects of devolution, published four years ago, found devolution had led to lower standards of public services in Scotland because Holyrood ministers are too worried about being popular. It does seem she despises Scotland or is it just a conflict of interests .
