SNP Westminster leader Stephen Flynn believes Labour is failing to deliver Scottish promises
SNP Westminster leader Stephen Flynn has said that Labour is failing to deliver the change it promised voters in Scotland at the UK general election .
Mr Flynn said: "The Labour Party has only been in office for three months but it is already plummeting in the polls as a result of breaking so many promises to voters. Mr Flynn said: "Governments are defined by the choices they make. The Labour Party's political choice to cut the winter fuel payment for 860,000 Scottish pensioners, push thousands of Scottish children into poverty with the two child benefit cap, and to continue Tory cuts to public services stains its reputation and shows its election promises were worthless.
He said: "On 4th July Scotland voted for change - to get away from the chaos of a Tory government that had crashed the economy and become mired in sleaze and an SNP government that was failing on public services and focused on the wrong priorities. "The process of delivering change has begun, with progress made on establishing GB energy, a publicly owned energy company headquartered in Scotland, and our plans to make work pay by increasing the minimum wage."
