Scottish Labour leader Anas Sarwar will tell the UK Labour party conference that Scotland is being held back by a Nationalist administration that is out of ideas after 17 years in power. Sarwar will insist that Scotland is a country of ‘enormous potential and is brimming with talent’ but is being let down by an SNP government that offers nothing but ‘internal division and outward incompetence’.
Scotland is being "held back" by an SNP Government that is failing ordinary Scots, Anas Sarwar will tell the UK Labour party conference today.
Winning back control at Holyrood is a top priority for Keir Starmer's Labour, with the party having not won a Scottish Parliament election since 2003. Sarwar will also remind conference delegates that nearly one in six Scots are on an NHS waiting list, that the education attainment gap remains and that economic growth has flatlined.
“The same tired people in power peddling the same old excuses. Frankly, it’s time up for the SNP. They are a party that has lost their vision and lost their way.” “It’s no wonder the Labour Party is collapsing in the polls as voters can see they are simply picking up where the Tories left off.
