John Swinney praised axeman Tory George Osborne as a 'believer' in devolution

EXCLUSIVE: The incoming First Minister made the remarks on the day of Humza Yousaf's resignation last week.

First Minister-elect John Swinney praised a former Tory Chancellor who pushed through deep benefit cuts as a “believer” in devolution.

Osborne and Alexander were at the Treasury together between 2010 and 2015 when the Tories and Lib Dems were in coalition. But his tone was different at a Resolution Foundation event last week on the same day as Humza Yousaf resigned. Swinney said of Osborne and Alexander: “I think they both believed in the concept of devolution. So they were devolving power in England. I can’t remember all the structures that were going on in England, but….the Northern Powerhouse stuff and all that material. I felt like I was dealing with believers in devolution and also at a personal level there was respectful relations.
