The business secretary told MPs 'as an administration turns from Conservative to socialist the rubbish piles up in the streets, as I think it's also been doing with the SNP in Edinburgh'.
Jacob Rees-Mogg has weighed into a row about rubbish collection in Edinburgh, with the SNP quick to point out the Conservatives are supporting the city's Labour-led administration.
SNP chief whip Owen Thompson hit back, saying on Twitter: " thinks Edinburgh is an SNP led council... hate to tell him its a Labour/Tory partnership." Rees-Mogg was speaking in the Commons as he outlined the Government's plans to support businesses with the rising cost of energy. He asked how much the Government's energy package would cost, if large companies like Amazon would benefit from "a scheme that's going to built on the back of public-sector borrowing", and if he can explain to "energy-rich Scotland" why "Westminster has failed us so terribly badly".
