ANAS SARWAR

LEADER OF THE SCOTTISH LABOUR PARTY EVERY SECOND MONDAY

- 

IT WAS the SNP's 2025 conference at the weekend but it could be any year because the script is exactly the same.

Once again John Swinney and the SNP have been promising Scots that all will be well in an independent Scotland. But once again, they struggle to tell us what they plan do to improve lives here and now.

When I look at this SNP government, I see no sense of urgency, no sense of ambition and no sign of new ideas.

And when I look at Scotland's public services, I see no sign of the game-changing £5.2billion budget boost the UK Labour Government delivered to Holyrood. Where has that money gone?

This SNP government is looking more knackered and more out of touch than ever before.
