Salmond Budget claims' bluff and bluster' says Miliband

Talking in Clydebank, Mr Miliband said the only folks composing a future Labour Budget would be shadow chancellor Ed Balls and himself.
He included:
Mr Miliband said he was working for a Labour majority.
"Should you hold the equilibrium, then you definitely hold the power," he said. That's patently clear.

But talking to Labour activists on Monday, Mr Miliband said: "Honestly, Alex Salmond is at it again. And it's a mix of bluster and bluff."
Mr Salmond also said on Sunday that he considered a "vote-by-vote arrangement" between a minority Labour government as well as the SNP is the most likely results of the election.
But Mr Miliband said he needed a majority Labour government.
He said: "The only style that I'm really going to be the prime minister altering this state is if you vote Labour. This is the easy choice at this election."

He included: "How other parties determine to vote on the grounds of a Labour Queen's Address is up to them."
As a fresh survey indicated Labour could lose the majority of its own seats north of the edge, Mr Miliband was talking
Mr Miliband also repeated a pledge his party will provide more power for the Scottish Parliament.
He said: "We'll give a home rule bill for Scotland in our first Queen's address. More powers over social security, through occupations, through income tax.
He attacked the strategies of the SNP for complete financial autonomy for Scotland, saying they'd expand austerity north of the border.

 "That means the SNP fight this election still proposing to stop the sharing of resources to the other side of the UK, the rule of redistribution.
"They're campaigning for the ending of the Barnett Formula, replacing it using a reliance on high-risk and unpredictable petroleum revenues - sales which even Nicola Sturgeon acknowledges are astonishingly difficult to call."
Media caption The deputy leader of the SNP says he CAn't comprehend why Ed Miliband was "saying these daft things"
And he said Labour will put a stop to "Tory austerity".
"Tory austerity makes it so much more difficult for us to teach the young," he said. "Tory austerity makes life risky for the old, Tory austerity sabotages our NHS and our essential public services in each and every element of the UK.
'Boost Scotland'
"So we'll put paid once and for all to Tory austerity using a Labour government."
His remarks came as a fresh ICM/Guardian survey indicated Labour faces losing most of its 41 seats in Scotland on 7 May.
"If we're in a status to help we're ready to help a Labour government, but that will come at a cost," he told the BBC's Daily Politics.
"If it's a trust and supply arrangement, we must agree on several stuff at the start.
"It it's a vote-by-vote basis then there should be discussions through the course of the parliament."
