General Election Party Election Broadcasts: Scottish Labour Party

This election will decide the future of our country.

We are voting not just for ourselves,

but for future generations.

Nicola Sturgeon offers the same old answer for everything -

another referendum.

She's playing a broken record.

After ten years of the SNP in charge,

people want answers on the issues that matter.

But the uncomfortable truth

is that while Nicola Sturgeon promised

the 2014 independence referendum

would be a once-in-a-generation opportunity,

for her, it has become an obsession.

In our NHS, more than 90,000 patients

had to wait longer than four hours at A&E in 2016.

How will we cut waiting times?

Nicola Sturgeon's answer is another referendum.

Nurses' pay hasn't risen in seven years,

leaving many struggling to make ends meet.

How will nurses get a better deal?

Nicola Sturgeon has no answer, apart from another referendum.

In our schools, parents are being asked to fill in for teachers

because of staff shortages.

While our children's education suffers,

what has Nicola Sturgeon got to say?

You guessed it - another referendum.

We have 4,000 fewer teachers,

a gap between the richest and poorest pupils

that hasn't got any smaller,

bigger class sizes, and declining results.

Nicola Sturgeon's answer?

Another referendum.

Local services like care for the elderly and schools

will be hit with cuts of £170 million this year alone.

What answer does Nicola Sturgeon have

for our elderly and for our young?

Another referendum.

Under the SNP, the number of Scots paid less than the real living wage

stands at nearly half a million people.

How will we tackle this crisis for workers and families?

Let's ask Nicola Sturgeon.

Nicola Sturgeon and the SNP think only about another referendum,

when the focus should be on our schools and hospitals.

And if Nicola Sturgeon wins this election,

she'll use it to push for another referendum.

The only way to stop the SNP is to vote Labour on June the 8th.

Don't risk letting SNP MPs back in by voting for the Tories.

Scottish Labour offers real answers which will bring real change

to the country, and increase Scotland's budget by billions

to improve our schools and hospitals.

Nicola Sturgeon offers the same old answer for everything.

She's playing a broken record.
