Roz Foyer

Roz Foyer argues that Andy Burnham and John Swinney could cooperate on devolution, energy, industrial strategy and public transport rather than enter into conflict. She welcomes Burnham's emphasis on policy priorities and decentralised economic development but criticizes the Scottish Government for limiting local control and investment. She calls for greater powers for both the Scottish Parliament and Scottish regions, closer coordination to rebuild domestic supply chains, and renewed Labour advocacy for council tax reform, public transport, social care and wealth taxes.
