Some polls are saying that Labour could have more Scottish MPs than the SNP after July the 4th. We spoke to Anas Sarwar, the Leader of the Scottish Labour Party.First of all, not a single vote has been cast in this election so far. We know from history that only when Labour appeals to every part of our country, including here in Scotland, does it win a significant mandate to change our country, right across the whole of the UK.
These are the first steps we would take. Actually I don’t think it’s appropriate for us to increase taxes on working people in the middle of a cost of living crisis. Instead, we want to get growth into our economy, and we hope to go even further than what we’re outlining in this manifesto. But that involves getting rid of a chaotic government and recognising that we can’t fix every problem straight away.
Through the fruits of that growth, I want to see us go even further and be more ambitious than what’s even in our manifesto. That’s something I’ve heard from Keir directly, I’ve heard from Rachel directly and I’ve heard from Wes Streeting directly. These are the first steps of change. But we only get that if we take the opportunity to make sure we get rid of the Tories, to put Scotland at the heart of a Labour government and start that journey for change.
