AFTER 14 years of Tory chaos, this General Election hasn't come a moment too soon.
The need for change is clear - people across Scotland can see first-hand the damage this dysfunctional Tory government has done. We see it in our communities, in our bills and payslips, and in public services.
This election is a fork in the road for Scotland - an opportunity we cannot afford to miss.
It is a straightforward choice between five more years of decline with the Tories and change with Labour. At the heart of Labour's plans for change is a plan for jobs, because that is the answer to so many of the challenges we face.
Good, well-paid jobs will lift people out of poverty, strengthen our economy and put more money in the public purse.
Under the Tories, our economy has tanked and working people have suffered - but this isn't as good as it gets.
Scotland is brimming with talent and potential, it is just being squandered by two governments bereft of ambition.
