The SNP leader is expected to describe the campaign in Scotland as a ‘real contest of ideas and values’.
Scotland’s First Minister will urge voters to turn out on Thursday as he warns some seats will be decided “by only a handful of votes”.
The campaign between the SNP and Scottish Labour – currently engaged in a two-way race for top spot in Scotland – is one of “genuine, competing visions of the future”, he will say. “More cuts, opening the door to privatisation of the NHS, Brexit and capping child benefits but not bankers’ bonuses.“Ending austerity, supporting our NHS, rejoining the EU, tackling the cost-of-living crisis and a future made in Scotland, for Scotland, with independence.
“The SNP deserve to pay for ignoring Scotland’s real priorities – like fixing our ailing public services and creating good jobs – to fixate instead on breaking up the UK. By voting Scottish Conservative, you can help keep them out.”
