Snp offering hope amid ‘costly’ labour decisions — scottish national party

The SNP is offering hope and delivering for the people of Hamilton, Larkhall and Stonehouse whilst Labour offers cuts and despair says Shona Robison, the Scottish Government’s Cabinet

Secretary for Finance and Local Government. Speaking as she launched an SNP National Campaign Day in Hamilton, Larkhall and Stonehouse, she highlighted how the SNP Government has introduced

a number of policies to support households across the constituency with rising costs. These include: Meanwhile, Glasgow Disability Alliance has warned that Labour’s £5 billion of cuts to

benefits that support disabled people will hit hundreds of thousands of Scots including 30,000 carers. On top of that, 15,000 children are being pushed into poverty by Labour’s two-child cap

and average energy bills are rising by an average of £281 since Labour entered government. Locally, it gets worse for people in Hamilton, Larkhall and Stonehouse with the Labour-run South

Lanarkshire Council – supported by the Tories – implementing a £45 garden waste charge and cuts to school buses; both of which Katy Loudon voted against as a local councillor. Shona Robison

said having Labour in power at Westminster and in South Lanarkshire was costing the people of Hamilton, Larkhall and Stonehouse dearly and VOTING SNP WOULD SEND THEM A STRONG MESSAGE.

Commenting at the launch she said, “Pensioners and families should get the support they need, and kids should be able to get the bus to school; but Keir Starmer’s Labour is taking these

away, and making choices which have harmed families and worsened the cost of living crisis.” She pointed out that, in contrast, the SNP Government is delivering for families with policies

like reversing Labour’s Winter Fuel Payment cut, scrapping the two-child cap and the Scottish Child Payment. “That’s exactly how we offer hope at a time when so many are struggling and it’s

the message we are taking to doorsteps across this constituency on our National Campaign Day”, Ms Robison added. She concluded by stressing that Katy Loudon as the SNP MSP for Hamilton,

Larkhall and Stonehouse, would not only SEND LABOUR A MESSAGe but deliver an MSP who would put local priorities first and work for a better Scotland, free from damaging Labour decisions.
