John Swinney will urge people to “vote SNP to put Scotland’s interests first” as he formally launches the party’s General Election campaign.
And he will urge people to vote SNP in the July 4 General Election to remove the Tories from government.Mr Swinney is expected to say: “A combination of Westminster cuts and Brexit has reduced the money available for the NHS, other public services and housing. “The opportunity of higher living standards and a better funded NHS, with decisions about Scotland made in Scotland. That’s why I believe in independence.”
“At this election it is those principles that will guide my approach. So I am asking people to vote SNP to remove the Tories from government. He will speak of his pride in what the SNP has done in government, highlighting free prescriptions, the abolition of university tuition fees, free bus travel for under-22s and the Scottish Child Payment.
“Thanks to his party and their independence obsession, 840,000 Scots are on an NHS waiting list, schools have tumbled down international comparison tables, we have the lowest numbers of police officers since 2008 and savage cuts to local services.
