The Scottish Labour leader described change north of the Border as a 'two-stage process' which involved removing both the Tories and SNP.

Anas Sarwar has ruled out income tax rises if Scottish Labour wins the next Holyrood election in 2026.

The manifesto also said Scottish Labour would shake-up the laws governing football to allow "fans to have a greater say" in the way the sport is run. Asked by the Record if his party remained opposed to the policy, Sarwar said: “The short answer is yes. We were right to oppose the two-child limit, we were right to vote against the two-child limit."

"This document we are publishing today, is our first steps for change. We want to go further than this. But we only do that if we deliver a strong green economy, and move on from the incoherence and incompetence of a Tory government that has done so much damage to our country." "John Swinney needs to look voters in the eye and explain why he believes they should pay more tax, and why they should continue to pay huge energy bills while letting the oil and gas giants off scot-free," he said.
