ANAS Sarwar has said SNP warnings that Labour would cut public spending in power are “ludicrous”.
The Scottish Labour leader said the SNP’s claims were a sign of “desperation” as he accused the party of being “out of tune and out of step” with public opinion in Scotland.
The Institute for Fiscal Studies think tank has already warned of “sharp” cuts to come, regardless of whether Labour or the Conservatives win power. “The SNP can continue the attack on the Labour Party all it likes. I think that’s a symbol of their desperation rather than actually them being in tune with public opinion here in Scotland.”We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
