SSP ATTACKS LABOUR MANIFESTO

The Scottish Socialist Party today attacked Labour’s manifesto for the Scottish Parliament.

Tommy Sheridan, National Convenor of the SSP said,

“They admit that too many Scots are living in poverty, yet they have been in power for six years and Westminster and four years at Holyrood. Their manifesto promises no measures to tackle poverty and at the end of the next four years, there will still be too many people living in poverty. Their big new idea is to imprison parents who fail to control their teenage children, but this is a nonsensical idea which will fool no one.

Labour have stolen the Tories’ economic policies and now they’re trying to steal their clothes on law and order. Scottish voters should treat them with the contempt they deserve on 1st May”.
