Only a vote for the snp will boost our economy and put scotland first — scottish national party

I couldn’t have been prouder to read that, under the leadership of our First Minister, John Swinney, there has seen a huge boost in business confidence. It underlines the argument that the

SNP has been making for years; that only SNP MPs will speak up for Scottish businesses in Westminster. It’s the SNP Scottish Government that is fighting to increase productivity, support 

local economies and encourage  investment. It’s the SNP which is making Scotland a better place to do business while building a better country. Keir Starmer’s Labour Party should take note –

you don’t have to ‘open the door’ to NHS privatisation, sign up to Tory spending plans or embrace a hard Brexit to inspire business confidence. And you certainly don’t have to forsake your

progressive values. > The SNP is calling for an immediate emergency budget following the > election to deliver: >  > ➡️ More funding for the NHS > ➡️ The reversal of Tory

— The SNP (@theSNP) May 31, 2024 Just Imagine how we could deliver for communities and businesses across Scotland if we had the fiscal and monetary levers currently hoarded by Westminster.

We’d have to blow the dust off them first, I’d imagine, given there’s been no major change to the economic system of broken Brexit Britain since the policies of Margaret Thatcher in the

1980’s.  Scotland suffered more than most with that Conservative legacy, which makes it even more baffling thatSir Keir thinks he can make his lacklustre pitch to Scottish voters while

praising her policies. Does he not realise the long shadow those policies cast? Of course he does. He’s an intelligent man. He’s just taking our votes for granted. A changed Labour Party

indeed. This is simply back to basics for Labour politicians, so it’s little surprise businesses trust the SNP more than Labour. > 📢 The SNP is backing business, delivering economic

optimism in Scotland was up by 15 percentage points in May – the joint highest alongside the southeast of England and higher than any other English region and devolved nation across the UK.

In Scotland, confidence in trading was also up 16 points to 60 per cent, while optimism about the performance of the economy lifted by 13 points. This boost is also reflected in hiring

intentions, with more firms indicating they planned to add staff over the next 12 months. This is cast iron proof that Westminster’s outdated ideas don’t deliver for our economy. Scotland’s

divergent path – that of a modern, diverse social democratic country – is not only in keeping with our European neighbours but it’s a heck of a lot more successful than what Westminster

offers us. Sunak’s flailing government is out of time – obsessing about national service and demonising vulnerable groups, rather than even attempting to defend their woeful economic record.

But Sir Keir isn’t an inspiring alternative. Voters deserve more than lip service which argues for  Tory economics, austerity and a hard Brexit. > Under the @theSNP almost 100,000

consumers doesn’t sound like economic competence to me, but that’s our reality under Westminster rule. And for my Westminster colleagues, who’ve been speaking up for Scotland for the last

five years, I’d wager their constituents agree. Only the SNP have the vision – and the courage – to talk about real change while all Labour can do is punt empty slogans. If they’re not

serious about delivering, their words are as worthless as all the pledges on which they’ve u-turned. So, while Westminster parties inflict damage on the UK economy with a reckless Brexit,

brutal austerity cuts and punitive policies that deter investment – the SNP isloud and clear. We’re backing business, delivering economic growth, and putting Scotland’s interests first. On

July 4th, voting SNP is a vote for boosting the businesses that provide jobs and prosperity for our local communities. It’s a vote for the major economic growth we need  for our towns and

cities. It’s a vote for investment in the just transition and our precious industries. It’s a vote to properly tackle the cost of living crisis.  Only SNP MPs will always stand up for

Scotland’s interests and demand the investment – and change – that Scotland needs.
