A reminder that the Labour Party in Scotland wanted tax cuts this year that would have disproportionately benefited the highest earners and reduced money available for public services by up to £1.5 billion while simultaneously demanding increased public spending.
While the SNP led Scottish Government uses progressive taxation to invest in public services and tackle poverty, the Tories starve services and slash investment to fund tax cuts for higher earners. At both Holyrood and Westminster, Labour now shamefully stand with the Tories 👇

Throughout the election I warned about the huge financial pressure in public services and called for significant new investment from the U.K. Government. I was told there would be no austerity under Labour. Well here it is. Scotland will be affected by UK decisions.
