The SNP is out of touch with reality, out of touch with the electorate and out of touch with our country, says RedmondLabour
In just one day this week, I saw headlines on how the Scottish Children’s Commissioner recognises that Nicola Sturgeon ‘absolutely failed’ our children with her delaying the adoption of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, how Humza Yousaf is rethinking a plan to honour his party’s promise to offer free breakfasts to all primary school kids and how the cuts to Glasgow Care home services are going to cause more delayed hospital discharges.
It is an uphill battle though for people to see positives when they are being bombarded with the reality of what a mess the SNP government have made of our country. In the middle of a cost-of-living crisis, where children are being failed and people can’t be discharged from hospitals because of lack of care provision, we have a former first minister in Sturgeon, so caught up in her own hype that she ‘hadn’t realised how polarised’ our country had become.
What is also a fact is that 29% of children in Glasgow are living in poverty and they will be being hit hardest.It has been my privilege to be the Glasgow Labour Group leader for the last year, and I was delighted to be re-affirmed as this again earlier this week at our AGM. I am not afraid of the fight that we have to take to the SNP and Greens in Glasgow City Chambers, and I know that it takes some tough decisions, like the one that the Glasgow Labour Group took back in February when we decided not to set an alternative budget, because of the chronic underfunding from the SNP in HolyroodThe Labour Group will always stand up for Glasgow and work to support the most vulnerable in our communities and in our city.
